I have a letter from my Brother and
pen-pal that he and I felt we should share with the world. Let me give a quick
bit of background info. There is a program called “The Walk to Emmaus” that is
a Christian program designed to take a small group of people and spend three
days immersing them in the grace of God. It is a time of great Spiritual
refreshment. In February of 2011 I went on the “New Ark Area” Men’s Walk #34
and sat at the table of Peter. My life has been forever changed. There is a
similar program for youth and young adults called “Chrysalis”. And there is a
program for inmates called “Kairos”. These are very well organized programs
that I recommend to any Christian who is feeling burdened and needing a
refreshing taste of the Holy Spirit. So look it up and find a program in your
area and get involved.
Below is the letter my friend and
Brother in the Lord wrote to share with you. Peace and blessings, Shannon.
“My Kairos experience was a well
awaited life changing gift! It was a 72 hour retreat, free to be yourself for
once. And ‘m now a firm believer that not one person can stand under the
attention of the Holy Spirit and remain unchanged! I am forever grateful to
have been chosen for the Spiritual nourishment the Kairos Brothers poured into
my soul.
I believe everyone on this planet
should experience the Kairos retreat, but that’s my opinion. And once you say
you are a Christian, non-believers will watch everything you do. They like to
see Christians stumble, so speak with respect, the lost are listening. So as
you live your life for Jesus, turn your back on trying to please the crowd;
face Jesus, and please Him with every fiber of your being.
Finally, a few questions: Do you
live by your faith? Do you share your faith? Because one of the true highlights
of being a Christian is to bring the good news of Jesus to the lost. The
decision has been made, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won’t look back, let
up, slow down, back away, or be still! My past is redeemed, my present makes
sense, and my future is secure. – J. J.”
