What a spiritual journey God has had me on since I was presented with my Armor of God Challenge Coin at a Band of Brothers Bootcamp! I have shared a few experiences and time to share some more.
Don sent me my first batch of coins and a new journey with God began for me. I have belived for most my life but 17 years ago I surrendered all to Him. I was a lonely alcoholic/drug addict 18 years ago but our mighty God, through Jesus Christ changed all of that.
God is opening doors with this challenge.
I presented a coin to a Pastor friend of mine. He is a faithful servant but we all have our battles right? He is a Pastor at a small rural church that is struggling to survive. Covid and all that sure did damage. But I know he has a mighty Warrior in God. This Pastor is now looking at a way to integrate the Armor of God Challenge into his congregation for unity and possible growth.
I presented another man with a coin and God told me to give him a second coin, that this man had someone on his mind that needed this. A week later this man called me to tell me that he gave the coin to his father and that it opened up a conversation about God that he had never had in his 52 years! Is our God perfect or what? Perfect!
I just received my second batch of coins. Don, with God, is making sure that I have a tool and opportunities to share the Gospel.
I am so grateful for the community of believers and that we can use this coin to make Him known! Yeah Baby!
"Make HIM known"! Truly amazing how each of us has a purpose in HIS/this ministry! 1 God and 1 coin uniting Christians every day. I am so blessed to know Gods true Grace and purpose for me today!!
Thanks Greg, This is great gift and also a good tool that can be used to extend Gods kingdom.
Am very thankful to be part of this community of believers.
Thanks brother.
Your post was confirmation for me this morning. In my talk with Jesus this morning and reading my devotional Ephesians 6 came up. I was asking Jesus about a lunch date I have with my daughter Thursday and the word of God says let your speech be full of grace and seasoned with salt. And I was thinking of presenting her a coin. I don't get on forum much this might be my first. So I read your post about the two coins you gave someone and what he did with them. I thank you for sharing and I thank God for directing me to it. I pray my words will come when I present a coin to my daughter Thusday. I pray Holy Spirit will soften her heart and draw her closer to God.
greg - WOW!!!! just amazing to hear a victorious story. Thank you for aharing. keep the faith, my brother.
Greg, a terrific testimony of how God is leading you and making you bold for the Gospel! Stay strong and keep passing out coins as opportunities arise. Our Job is to present the Gospel, the the Holy Spirit takes over and it's the Holy Spirit that convicts a heart. Saying prayers that you stay close to God and that others can see Christ through you. Know that evil is not happy when we are doing "good", beware of attacks and temptations and feeling of doubt. Stay close to the Word and Pray Always! Good job Brother!
Thank you for your post Greg.
We will pray for the struggling church that it would become a beacon of light and hope through Jesus to the community.
Praise God for the opportunity that you have had by giving the coin as the Holy Soirt led you. That then opened up the opportunity for your friend to share the Good News of Jesus too. 🙏🏻🙏🏻☝️☝️
