Hey, Lady! And other hurting souls.

As you all know, my husband Chip and I recently left a great ministry we were missionaries at, Hope Children's Home, to join a church planting team out of Lighthouse Baptist Church of Central Florida in Orlando. Sunday was our first Sunday services and there were 12 in attendance!! Before you scoff, let me remind you Jesus had 12 disciples and they turned the world upside down!
Sunday was not without it's challenges!! One member of our team was in a near accident, our day started off with an electrical fire, we forgot paper cups for the coffee and had to make a last minute donut run, our sound system wouldn't work, and that isn't even the story of the day!! On Saturday soulwinning we met a lady named Jacky struggling with drug addiction... She listened to us but told Chip she is not interested in going to church. As we were leaving, Chip encouraged her to keep our tract and said "One day, you'll need Christ when you get tired of your lifestyle." As we walked to another door, she called out,."Hey lady!" so I turned around and she asked me to pick her up for church the next day. She was ready on Sunday and I was excited she was ready for service dressed in her best and obviously excited for church. While it would seem the Lord was at work, we can't forget we have an adversary! She decided ON THE WAY to church that she wanted to go to her "sister's church" instead and sadly she did not come with us. WHAT a crazy day!! The Devil does not rest when we do more for Christ... He is "walking about seeking whom he may devour." He has devoured Jacky's life and has great holds on her. So many people here are hurting and need Christ in their life.
South Orlando is full of those entangled by the Devil. Some, like Jacky, are trapped in a life of addiction and some like the two we have had the chance to lead to Christ since last week.are everyday folks, even good people, not realizing their Destiny if they don't turn to Christ.
Pray for those we are working with. We know that Christ has the answers they seek and He IS THE answer. We just want to.share it with them.
