New life

Several months ago, Derek was sitting with his group at Foundations and it seemed the guys at the table just weren't connecting with the teaching. Derek prayed for each one trusting God to reach their hearts with the message He wanted delivered. One of the guys left the class frustrated and somewhat angry, but he called Derek a day or so later with the joyful news that he was now assured of his salvation. After years of believing himself to be a Christian, during the class God asked this man to give his life over to Him in a very real and different way than he had ever done before. Only God knows the heart of man and when salvation really occurs, but what a joy to watch how He works and leads us to Himself. Derek's walking a road of friendship and discipleship with this individual and is continually blessed by God's work in his life. We celebrate in the life God has given him and wait expectantly for the amazing things to come!
