Dear ones, I am glad to share with you about Manuel, and I am so thankful to our God for the grace showed to him from heaven. Arriving to the next-to-the-last chapter of the book ("The Stranger"), Manuel closed it and looked into my eyes and he told me with tears in his eyes: “Pastor, I can’t wait until the end of the book to tell you that I am a new man. I do really confess Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour. I now understand that He is the only way to God and Heaven.” Then he prayed alone in his own words, giving thanks to God for salvation through Jesus Christ.
I have to confess that in our 16 years in Uruguay, and maybe in our whole ministry, this is the first conversion of that kind: Seeing an old man (77) coming to Jesus in such a way. Like a little boy.
Since then, Manuel has greatly changed. His wife called me to tell me about that. Life at home changed 100%. Not only that; Manuel wants to come to enjoy each Lord’s day and also talked about being baptized!
He began to read his Bible and he began to understand what he must do as a new believer.
I want to give the glory to our God and also want to give thanks to everyone who has been praying for Manuel.
Now, Manuel thinks that his wife (Dora) is not ready for heaven although she’s the one who was coming to church! So, please, pray as Manuel wants to begin reading "The Stranger" to her in the following days.
May God receive all the glory for His work and for His wonderful salvation.
