Just recently I returned from a trip to Argentina.  While there, my team and I had the opportunity to share the Good News of Jesus with tens of thousands of people in a number of large events.  It was an exciting time of ministry, and we saw over 2,500 people make a decision of faith in Jesus. 

One instance stands out in my memory.  It was our last night in Argentina, and as I was leaving the place where the festival was held a security guard stopped me.  He told me that years ago, he was a youth pastor in a good, Bible-teaching church.  Somehow, he had slipped far from that place to a point where he had completely lost his faith.  He walked away from his family, began drinking and using drugs.  I heard about his daily panic attacks, and the huge distance he felt was between him and God.  But God touched his heart as he listened to the message I gave that evening.  Now he was ready to return to the Lord and recommit himself to being a faithful follower of Jesus.  I was able to pray with him and hear him pour out his heart to God. 

You know, only God can turn a life around, transform it, make it into something beautiful.  The message of salvation through Jesus Christ is a message everyone needs to hear, and God wants us to tell everybody we can.  As you share the Good News with people in your world, you will find that many are hungry to hear it and accept it.
