Read about 3 Kings being led to Christ-AWESOME
Dave Teis, went to his home town of Las Vegas and he and his wife knocked on 100 doors a day to reach people for Christ 25 years ago. They had over 1000 attending twice during the month of May. A fantastic church.
Meeting a King
One of the missionaries, Mike Patterson, told about being introduced to a real King in Africa. He put his hand out to shake the Kings hand, which you are not supposed to do. He spoke directly to the king, another no no. When he was explained his lack of protocol he apologized profusely. Then speaking properly through a third person, he told the King that he was the adopted son of the King of Kings. The King was intrigued and asked him to come back the next Thursday and tell him about it
Leading the King to Christ
Mike went back and started with Genesis 1:1 told the King the whole story of the Bible for two and a half hours. When he told how the Lord Jesus suffered and died for our sins and rose again, the King was deeply moved. When Mike asked if he would like to receive the Lord Jesus, he gladly prayed out loud with him and was gloriously saved. Through all of this he was later introduced to two other Kings and had the joy of leading them to Christ.
"Pray for kings"
For years I have prayed, like God told us in 1 Tim. 2:1, for the kings of the world. When I heard Mike tell this I burst into tears as I realized I had a part in their salvation! Oh dear people, it will transform your lives to pray for the things God told us to pray for in the Bible. I have written on this before but here is a live demonstration of why we should pray for ALL kings.
Father, thank you for this wonderful story of how You work in answer to our prayers and our faithful witness. Help Your people to pray and witness like You told us. In Jesus name. And I LOVE YOU, all because of Calvary, Sumner
