Remember and thank the one who empowered you to love and serve the Lord. Say a prayer for him or her - Daily Bible Reflections September 23,2015

BRO. ROY   And He sent them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. – Luke 9:2          Bro. Roy was the elder-in-charge of the Singles Ministry of the Light of Jesus Family where I served for many years. He taught us to plan, organize and conduct our first Living in the Light Seminar (LLS), our evangelization program. Through the years, we have organized and conducted many other seminars and events for the singles group.        In December 2008, some friends invited me to visit them in Dubai. I remembered Bro. Roy. He was then our head for missions. I called him up and asked how we can bring the Light of Jesus in Dubai.        In January 2009, we conducted the first LLS in Dubai in a small apartment where about 30 servants participated. The first Feast (the regular prayer meeting of the LOJ Family) in UAE was born. The following week another LLS was conducted in Abu Dhabi. The second Feast was born. Since then, the servants have conducted regular LLS and evangelized many to deepen their relationship with the Lord.        Today, there are four Feasts in UAE with more than 300 members. In October 2013, the first Grand Feast was held in Abu Dhabi attended by over 800 empowered members and guests. Thank God for mentors like Bro. Roy.
