A Testimony of Following
Pastor Barry Brister
Gateway Assembly of God, Louisiana
“From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.”
My friend, what a day we have been chosen to live in, where sin and its consequences run rampant in the land. However, there is this precious promise for His chosen ones. His grace is to run even more rampant.
So, in His grace I chose to run.
After becoming a part of NRP over 3 years ago, our ministry has changed. I will save that story for another time, but changed it is. We have gone from a normal Pentecostal, charismatic fellowship to a revived house of people hungry for the Word of God. It has been an organic change with the Father leading and guiding with us as we gasp for breath to keep up with Him.
We are seeing God’s people shine in this day of darkness. Young men and women are giving their lives to minister in ways we could have only dreamed they would just months ago.
I wish I could take some of the credit for this, as if it was because I taught a specific book or we started a certain class. Those things we did, but the greatest thing I could say about the last three years with NRP is, we had a handful of grounded people who simply said “follow me as I follow Christ,” and follow they did.
