was amazed to see the entire congregation stand up. How great is our God! Young men came forward saying they had been called by God for missions.

With this new found passion and ever increasing love for Christ, I am excited about what the rest of this year holds, and what God can do, even in the remaining few weeks of our time here in the Solomon Islands.

It turned out to be a of God Rm 5:2-3 church of about 200 youth; I was introduced as the speaker for the night and was seated up on the stage behind the extravagant pulpit. Here, less than a week after I had been ready to go home, I was, actually better put God was, about to preach the gospel through me. Truthfully I barely remember a word I said, I remember speaking about each verse of John 4 and the living water. Looking out into the packed church and seeing tears falling down the cheeks of 2 ladies, I do remember thanking God that he was working through me. After a few tears from myself as God broke my heart for all that were there, and a sort of altar call, calling for people to allow God to work through their lives to share the gospel, I
