Albuquerque, NM

 September 25-28 I was able to minister for Pastor Ronnie Lujan in Albuquerque, NM. Ronnie, his wife Diana and four daughters have been laboring here for almost 3 years and are really beginning to see the fruits of the seeds they have been sowing. They have seen a steady influx of people being converted and backsliders coming back to God and rededicating themselves to discipleship. Many of these people were faithful to every service and are getting on fire for God. This church is now a self supporting church and is in a time of momentum that has great potential. There are so many needs in this area. One night after service Pastor Lujan was ministering to a man who was recently saved and delivered from Methamphetamines, while I was waiting for him outside the church, a couple came by picking up cigarette butts and after talking to them, found out they were addicted to heroin and had just been talking to each other about their need for Jesus. I led them in a sinners prayer and told them my testimony how God set me free from drugs and alcohol. It was a divine appointment!
 As I observed this church, I was impressed by two things 1. The unflenching love and zeal of the Pastor
2. The dedication and commitment of his family (his daughters are the worship musicians and singers). All of this is making things happen in their city. Pray for the Lujan's as they labor here. There are many victories they are experiencing, but it doesn't come without many battles.
