Lives Changed in Lebanon
For the past 18 years , Milard and Joyce have faithfully served God in Lebanon . In this update , Milard reflects on their ministry and shares stories of lives changed .
By the grace of God we
have been in Lebanon for
18 years so far serving in many ways with one purpose , “ to know Christ and make Him known ”. The Lord has allowed us to preach the Gospel to hundreds of people through big outreaches , through the church and through one-to-one sharing of the Gospel .
In the last eight years we planted a church which started with ten adults and has grown to over 150 people . It has been a great joy to see so many come to faith , get discipled and serve the Lord wherever they are .
This church is one that loves the Lord and is passionate about sharing His message . When seekers visit us they are struck by its love , its friendliness , its liveliness and especially its worship and Christ-centred message . I would like to share just a few stories from among so many whom Christ has transformed .
GEORGE AND JACKY
A young couple with two children who attended one of our outreaches because someone from our church invited them . In this outreach they heard worship songs and then a salvation message . As a result God spoke to them powerfully and convicted their hearts to repent and follow Jesus .
The change in their lives was radical in so many areas . The Lord had met them in their hour of need and they were filled with His love , joy and peace which radiated out of them . Both George and Jacky got baptised together and became heavily involved in ministry with their children . They are an amazing testimony for Jesus .
JOHN AND JULIANA
John , Juliana and John ’ s father visited our church after somebody had told John about our church . They came for the first time on Good Friday when we normally do a very reflective service . After deep reflections on the cross , singing worship songs and hearing the word , John and his father were in tears and deeply touched by the spirit of God .
I went to John and his father and they asked if they could come on Sunday and of course I said yes ! On Sunday I saw John , his father , his fiancé Juliana , and his sister arrive early and excited to be there . Well after a few weeks I had the privilege of leading them to a commitment to Christ as their Lord and Saviour .
