“Evan will be an evangelist.” – I heard this so vividly when my son and I were driving into NYC. We were in the middle of Lincoln tunnel where you lost radio signal. Evan was only five. It was only the two of us going to a family friend’s Jewish baby naming ceremony in NYC because my husband and daughter had a soccer tournament.

My heart leaped with excitement when I heard this, and then sank when I thought more about it. The words was so definitive and final. I never told anyone else until recently. Because I didn’t personally want my son to go into ministry. I have read Billy Graham’s autobiography and heard many sermons from evangelists like Ravi Zacharias etc. Being an evangelist is a very dangerous profession!

Leading a women’s prayer group with intercessory and warring purposes for our church for two and half years has been very challenging! I learned that the enemy does not like these prayers and will attack constantly. There were too many times I wanted to abandon my post and run away. However the “carrot” that I needed to make me stay is in the back of my mind, I knew these lessons of prayer and intercession will benefit and perhaps save my son. When he goes into evangelistic ministry, he will need my prayers and support!

Currently, my son is 12 years old and he has no interest in Christianity and Jesus. He’s the typical Jew, and turns or runs away when you mention Jesus. He goes to Hebrew school and is more excited about the big party after his bar mitzvah. He does enjoy being on stage and voluntarily does a stand up comedy act every year at school. It’s hard to imagine him as a passionate follower of Jesus Christ at this point but I know what I heard under the Lincoln tunnel. Evan will be an evangelist!

This past winter break I have been released from my duty post. Whew, Praise God! I added my updates on the previous post “Mega Truck.” My group will be more like a traditional small group with bible study, fellowship and prayers for one another. Last Tuesday was our first meeting after the winter break. It was so nice and relaxing for me. Lol!

We are reading and studying the book of Proverbs. From my observations of being in small groups as participant and leader for nearly 8 years at this church; many people have lack of understanding of God’s Word because they are not reading the bible daily. Even if they study, there’s lack of obedience and application of God’s Word. Therefore their lives and relationships are a constant struggle. My hope and prayers are that to those who are sick of living this way, they will come to my small group for edification, knowledge and empowerment. Our church is relaunching and promoting small groups this month and now we are called community groups. 🙂 I’m excited to see who the Holy Spirit will bring to our community group! Xoxo
