The Word Finds Its Mark

From CompassionNet Daily Prayer

Praise God that a family of five in China accepted Jesus after they found a gospel package left by a distribution team! The son of the family was sick and went to the hospital in the city. A couple of house church workers who were visiting the sick in the hospital went to the room of this family. After the family heard the salvation plan, the whole family told the workers that they were ready to receive Christ. Out of curiosity, the workers asked the family why they were so ready to accept. They replied that they had been reading the tracts and watching the JESUS film. Before the conversation was finished, the family brought out the package that they had found in front of their house. Praise God that He is faithful to His promise; His Word does not return to Him void!
