Prodigals and those who love them

Dear Mark and Debbie,

     I recently read "Prodigals and those who love them" and it was such a tremendous

encouragement!!! I am so thankful it is in the Lamplighter resources and will recommend it!!

      I would also like to share a praise: My son and his childhood friend both had their 20^th

birthdays recently. We gave our sons friend a copy of "Titus: A Comrade of the Cross" for

his 20th birthday. He rides the city bus to a drug court class everyday as part of the court

program he is in. He called us this week to tell us that he had just finished the book and it was the

best book he ever read!! He said he would cry on the bus everyday while he was reading it!!!

The day he finished the book, he was so overwhelmed with his love for Jesus, and what

Jesus has done for him on the cross, THAT day he led someone to Christ!!!!! We were rejoicing

with him and prayed with him on the phone-after we hung up he called our son and talked to him

for 30 minutes and he led our son to Christ on the phone!!!!! I had been asking God to do a work in

our son's heart BEFORE his 20th birthday and all this happened the DAY before he turned 20!!!!!!!!

God is sooooooo AWESOME!!!!!! WOW!!!!! He is faithful to all generations!!!!! God is restoring

the years the locust had eaten!

   It is such a privilege to be part of His Glorious Kingdom and family--you are in our prayers and we love

you with the love of Jesus! We thank God for all He has done and is doing,to Him be the Praise and the Glory

May you and your loved ones be filled with the Lord's amazing grace and peace and blessed assurance that He will

never leave us or forsake us!!! Love and Prayers,

Your Friends forever in Christ
