CELEBRATE ! ! ! ! !
Several months ago, a young woman (KSL) commented and asked for more information. She and I have been corressponding via e-mail. I gave her the name of a minister in her hometown and she and her husband have been studying with him and attending worship where he preaches. With her permission, I am posting today's email.
Dear Neva,
Judd and I were baptized this morning! After our last Bible study, we had been having trouble sleeping. All we wanted to talk about was Jesus and God and how much we want to go to heaven to live with them. It has been so wonderful to finally know we were here on earth for a reason and that there is more to living here than just climbing the corporate ladder. We both knew we could not go on one more day without being baptized. We thought it would make us better parents and better people. We thought it would help our marriage and our lives. We love God. We made the decision and talked to brother Spence about it early this morning. It was so wonderful to begin a new life in Christ together. The church all came up and hugged us and gave us phone numbers and addresses. We have been invited to dinner almost every night next week. It is hard to believe they love us just because we love God. It is neat though.
Neva, Judd and I both are so grateful to you. Thank you for taking the time to email me the answers to my questions. So many times I was afraid I was bothering you with one more set of questions, I know some of them were stupid questions. But thank you for teaching us. Thank you for using the bible in your answers so we could look them over again. Thank you for getting us in touch with Spence. He is very kind and patient with us. He really knows his bible and knows how to love. Just like you do. Thank you. I hope some day we get to meet you in person. Thank you for helping us find our way to Jesus. This is the best day of our lives.
Love
Kara and Judd Leverington
Please pray for Judd and Kara. Praise God for their open hearts and willing spirits. Praise God for the blood of His Son. Pray for them as they begin this new spiritual journey. They are our brothers and sisters in Christ. God is so good!!

Oh, Praise God!!! I have tears running down my face. That is such wonderful news and I remember her first comment asking questions and I'm so thankful that she came to your blog to ask them. Yay!!!! :)
Wow, this is fantastic! Blog evangelism! The Internet may allow us to reach people that we could never imagine. I pray that Judd and Kara are blessed in their new life. Sounds like they got to a really good congregation. What a joy when you find a congregation that can love you like that.
Praise God!!!
Judd and Kara, we are all praying for you.

This is great news. I am so happy for Judd and Kara---your lives will never be the same, they will be so much fuller and richer.
Dean
Woo-Hoo!!!
that's what I like to hear.
thanks for sharing the email
God is good!
welcome to the family, I wasn't aware of much previously but I will be praying for you guys now. there is often some resistance, obstacles that pop up after someone gives their life to Christ. It is typical and it will pass. We will be praying.
YAY!!!!!! I am so happy for you Kara and Judd.
Mary
What great news! Thank you for sharing it with all of us. We have been watching KSL's progress prayerfully
I remember the first comment left by "KSL" and have been praying since! I am so excited! Kara, what an amazing thing to have witnessed God leading you to Neva, and for Neva to lead you to the right person to study with you & Judd. I look forward to being with you for eternity.
Praise God Kara and Judd! I am so thankful for a new brother and sister in Christ. I will be keeping you in my prayers. I look forward to meeting you both, if not here on earth then in heaven when we gather around the throne of God. I love you both in the Lord.

What a joyous occasion! I have been praying for all three of you and I am thrilled at how God has heard our prayers and has answered them by blessing us with a new brother and sister.
Judd and Kara, welcome to the family! I will continue to pray that your faith will grow through continued study and prayer.
I am filled with joy for you and I'm proud to be your sister!

And we join the angels in heaven in a whoppin' 'n hollerin' foot stomping party!!
PTL!!!
It will be an honor to keep them in prayer!!!
Neva,
God is good! He even has purpose in our blog world. Thanks for sharing their story. I pray that we will continue to use our blogs for his glory.
Praise the Lord
We all rejoice in these two new lives in Christ and pray for the lives they will touch

Welcome new Brother and Sister. "My heart is glad and my tongue rejoices" Ps 16:9. This is just the best news. I will pray that you will continue to study with such fire and energy. Please continue to read Neva's wonderful lessons. Christian love to all of you,
Lisa S.
Praise God! And thank you for showing us how easy it is to be Jesus with skin on to those around us. Blessings
All the time, God is good. I am so encouraged by the news. "Happy birthday!"
Kathy
I think we should all pray for God to send all of us more to witness to on line. Way to go God. I bet Al Gore didn't know he invented the greatest evangelism tool ever when he 'invented the internet'. Now, how can we use global warming to God's glory?
Yay! So excited for you.
Prayers are going up on your behalf. Hold close to God.
Karli
Very Good, very, very Good.
