Acts 16:30-31, “And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and they house.”
The phone rang around 8:50 on Thursday morning, November, 13, 2025. My father-in-law answered, and a fraud caller was on the other end of the line. He told my father-in-law that he had won a million dollars and proceeded to ask some personal questions. My father-in-law hung up the phone and told me what had just happened. I checked the caller ID and saw the 800 number. When I called back, a man named Ceandrea in Jamaica answered the phone. In just a moment of time, he was telling me that I had won 3 million dollars and proceeded asking personal questions. One question he asked was, “Where do you work?” I told him, “I am self-employed.” He then asked, “What kind of work do you do?” I told him, “I am an evangelist.” He then said, “Oh, I believe in God too.” So I asked him, “Which god?” He said, “Jesus.” I said, “Which one?” He said, “There is only one.” I quoted II Corinthians 11:4 and told him how Paul had warned about another Jesus.
After 42 minutes had passed, our call ended. During our time on the phone, Ceandrea realized he was trusting in “another Jesus,” believing he could earn his way to Heaven by good works. After realizing he was lost and on his way to Hell, Ceandrea then prayed and trusted the true Jesus Christ of the Bible alone to save him. After receiving Christ, Ceandrea asked me to pray for Jamaica, since a hurricane had come through and killed many people and destroyed many homes. Second, he wanted me to pray for his father who was fighting cancer. Then Ceandrea asked for prayer for himself as well.
The story is not over. First Baptist Church in Hammond had recently gotten their radio app set up, so I gave Ceandrea the link. He looked it up while I was on the phone, and I heard Pastor Wilkerson’s voice on the air in the background. Ceandrea was so happy to have contact with a good church and began telling others about this experience. I also reached out to Oral Anderson, a missionary in Jamaica, and he is working on getting in touch with him. Praise the Lord!!
I recently had the privilege of preaching for Pastor Philip Hudson at the Union Baptist Temple in Union, Missouri. The day before, my wife and I were able to lead a man named Daniel to the Lord. Later that day, we set up our canopy and did a Bible giveaway. We gave away 24 Bibles and were able to lead 8 people to Christ. Praise the Lord! Also in November, we had 2 other Bible giveaways. One in Larned, Kansas, with Pastor Josh Shepherd, and another right here in Dodge City. They resulted in 115 Bibles being given out and 9 people trusting Christ as their Saviour.
Please pray for Pastor Shrock here in Dodge City. He has had some major health challenges but is not a quitter. We thank God for Pastor Shrock’s influence in the Dodge City area over the past 21 years. Thank you all so much for your prayers and financial support. We trust God will bless you this Christmas season and give you a happy and fruitful new year as well.
Sincerely,
Lawrence Williams
