I finished my Central Valley South GNC training and student notes on 6/18/20 and I was called by my Aunt who is one of the names I placed in my Prayer team for the Managed Fun training. I was explaining to her about what I have learned through the CEF training. I told her that what was most important to me is the way a child is invited to salvation by showing him/her Gods word and promise in the Bible, not by my words to the child but proof of what God is saying to him/her in the verses. Then, we ask the child if they understand what God is saying. If they are ready to believe in Jesus as their Savior we do not ask or lead the child in prayer like a repeated prayer but that we have the child in his/her own words pray that they believe that Jesus Died for his/her sins and that he/she wants to live in God’s way. My Aunt, who is 75 years old and has said she has been a Christian for more than 50 years, told me she had never heard Salvation explained that way. She said she remembered repeating a Pastor’s prayer for her but she had never done so herself from her own words or her heart. She wanted to do it at this moment as I had explained to her how a child comes to salvation. She said, because I am a child of God when I believe, I will do this right now and she thanked me for explaining to her what I had learned. I know it was not me but the Holy Spirit at work for my Aunts Salvation. Thank You Jesus!! Hallelujah, Glory to God! Rejoice in the Lord for he is Good. His Will, His way, My Faith! Amen.
