Today, I found out some very sad news. This sweet crazy boy in the front of this picture, Daniel, passed into eternity on Saturday. He was one who had been coming to the Joshua Club (an outreach that we are involved in) from the time it started which is a little over two years. He heard the gospel several times and I remember a couple times when the gospel was being presented that he said, "I believe!" He had also said things that seemed like he was confused, hearing so many different things from other people. I pray that he is with our Lord now and that he didn't put off the decision to believe on the Lord Jesus. His parents called and said that Joshua Club meant a lot to him and asked a couple of the guys involved if they would be willing to share at the memorial service. Pray that the gospel would be clearly presented and that this will really be an opportunity to share the Lord with his family and the other kids that come to Joshua Club.
This is such a reminder that we don't know when will be the last time to share with a loved one the gospel of the Lord Jesus. May this be a reminder to all of us that our time is short and to take every opportunity that the Lord gives us to share his love and the free gift He offers to all - the gift of Himself, forgiveness of sins through His death on the cross, and eternal life with Him.

My heart is breaking for you and this little boy's family. I'm guessing this was unexpected?
What a blessing that he had Joshua Club to go to and hear the Truth of the Word of God! You may have been the only ones who ever taught him of Christ - what an encouragement to continue even when it is hard!
We will pray for those men who are sharing at the funeral services - may the Lord use it for His glory!!!
