Hello everyone.
I have been a Christian for 43 years, and am a "Dinasaur" :oldthumbsup: in the faith.
I'm old, but content, healthy and young feeling, and am currently serving God in a community ministry.
I was invited to join here, but I read things here that don't fit in with my faith, so I'm not sure I belong here.
I believe in water baptism for our beginning walk of conditional salvation.

God bless you all.
In Christ's loving grace and mercy.

Hello @The Narrow Way!
Thank you brother for asking.
For most of my 43 years with the Lord, I have been involved in some type of "people ministry" outside the church, in the community.
God has a way of taking us from "Glory to Glory", and my life has been no exception. Different seasons of ministry for different seasons of life.
About the time the last ministry ended was when Covid-19 hit us hard last year, and that put an end to my going to the gym.
I have learned to wait on the Lord and be patient when it comes to believing God had something new for me in ministry, in the future.
No gym to go to, so I started going out for daily walks 3 or 4 times a day to stay in shape. I walked far enough to meet neighbors I have never met before. Met some really nice people slowly but surely. People have to get to know you and feel safe with you, so I just kept walking every day, and slowly but surely, people started visiting with me.
Surface stuff at first. But as I got to know them, they started talking about the "other part of their life" - "the painful struggling part of their life they don't share with everyone."
I started asking if I could pray for them. They were kind of surprised at first, but now some even ask for prayers, and with several, we talk about Christ and they seem OK with it - Comfortable.
So you never know what comes from walking, just like they did in the bible.
Now I have a new ministry - "WALKING and TALKING."

God bless you brother.
