08/07/20 2005 MISSION TRIP TO CENTRAL ASIA #4 — We shared several meals with this particular Muslim family. After dinner one such night, at their home my missionary friend sang “Since Jesus Came into My Heart” in their language while I played it on his guitar (I had brought a whole guitar case of guitar strings for him—they were hard to find over there!). When we finished the entire family cheered and applauded. AND the mother and younger son converted to Christianity right there, on the spot! After a couple of years of witnessing and ministering to that family, my buddy saw firsthand the “fruits of his labor.” And God allowed me to play a small, last-minute part, too!

The father and his oldest son were shocked and looked none too pleased. Weeks later, back in central VA, I received a letter from my missionary friend—the father and older son had also claimed Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. What a harvest! And what a privilege it was for me to have had even a miniscule role in it! MORE TO COME…
