{The Precious Blood}

1. The precious blood of Jesus Christ,

the covenant of grace,

unveils the wonder of God's love

to Adam's fallen race.

The sovereign King who died for all,

redeems us from our sin,

and makes us kings and priests of God

where we shall reign with Him.

2.The precious blood of Jesus Christ,

a new and living way,

gives access to a holy place

where we can boldly pray.

In trying time of grief and pain,

a throne of grace is ours,

where mercy flows for ev'ry need

with God's sustaining power.

3. The precious blood of Jesus Christ,

the song of saints above,

who glory in the risen Lamb,

and boast of God's great love.

From ev'ry nation, tribe, and tongue

one body all are we;

a people joined by grace alone 

for all eternity.

{Only God}

Only God can split a rain cloud...

 Only God can fill an empty place with hundreds of people...

Only God can work in hearts...

Only God can answer prayer.

{Just a little bit of what God did on the BPS Mexico trip} 

{Bro. Hector}

This man truly is a hero of the faith. 

It was a privilege to be able to work along side him for three weeks and learn from him.

This man has a heart for God.

Tears come to his eyes when he talks about reaching souls for Christ...

especially his own people in Mexico. 

There is just so much to learn from his life.

It took some work,but after some convincing (and some banana pudding) we got him to tell his testimony. 

I wish I would have recorded it.

It was one of those things worth listening to over and over again.

But I didn't...

There was something that he said specifically stuck out to me though...

here it is:

"God has a plan for my life. I fall short, but He is always faithful." 

He preached the one day out of Psalm 118:24.

He was talking about how every day God has a purpose for each person,

and we must seek Him about it. 

If there is one thing that Bro. Hector kept bringing to mind it was this.

That each life has a plan,

and each day has a purpose. 

{Tanisha's Story}

Seven years ago a baby girl was born...

I don't know much about this girl,

besides this:

~She was named Tanisha

and

~Jesus loved her before the world began.

I love the part of Tanisha's story that I got to be a part of.

It all happened on

{July 24th,2014}

at the Chitty's ranch.

 It was a rather windy day,

warmed by the New Mexican sun.

I was at the back of the chapel and Tanisha sat towards the middle.

I didn't notice her,

I didn't know her name,

and I didn't know her story.

That all changed over the course of several minutes.

For the next several minutes there were

{puppet stories}

{illustrations}

{songs}

{chalk drawings}

{preaching}

Then Bro. Chitty gave the invitation and invited the people who were wanting to ask Jesus into their hearts to come forward.

It was then I saw her.

I met her at the end of the aisle and took her hand.

I asked her what her name was,

and after some introducing,

I began talking to her about what she really came forward for.

I shared the plan of Salvation with her and then I prayed for her.

She told me she didn't know how to pray,

and I told her it was just like talking to God.

It was right after that, that I heard one of the sweetest prayers I've ever heard.

She asked Jesus to come into her heart and save her,

and once she got done talking about herself to God...

She prayed for her unsaved family members,

that they might come to know God.

I asked her if she had any questions,

and the first thing she could come up with was

"Can I get baptized now?"

So we talked about baptism and what it meant.

Then she said

"Do they baptism people here on the ranch? Will they do that tonight?"

She couldn't wait to get baptized.

She couldn't wait to follow God.

We talked for a little bit more and then we ended our conversations.

Before I parted with her,

I wrote her a few words in the cover of her brand new Bible, that she just received.
