Justin Comes To Christ!: Canada church plant update

At 11:43PM (Mountain Time) on March 22nd Justin Somers gave his life to Christ while on the phone with me.

I met Justin when I came up a month before moving to Fort McMurray while a part of a mission team from Sevier Heights Baptist Church in Knoxville. Justin was drunk/high when Mike Newman and I met him last July and offered him some free coffee. He took the coffee and got to hear that Christ died for him and had a plan for his life. He didn't say much that day, but enjoyed the coffee.

I met him the next day while we were painting over graffiti at a city park. Graffiti that he now admits to having a hand at creating. I reiterated the Good News that I shared with him the day before and told him that I would be praying for him. I then left Fort McMurray to get ready to move up from Texas. The day after I arrived in Texas he called me and left a message, with no phone number to call him back.

I hoped and prayed that I would run into him after moving here, but after a few months of living here could not locate him. I saw him a month ago while serving him food at the soup kitchen. I again shared with him God's plan for his life. He listened but did not respond. After hurting a friend deeply one night, he called me on the phone and asked me if I knew of a way that he could deal with his anger and change his life. It was then that I shared with him again the saving grace of Jesus Christ. This time he responded to Christ.

Please double your efforts in praying for Justin. My desire is for him to grow in his faith and win many of his friends to Christ.Thank you for partnering with us to reach Justin for Christ.
