In his lecture, Pastor Gustavo Castellanos recounted his own Christian experience with the Lord in San Salvador, the capital city of the Republic of El Salvador, together with three brethren, where Christ saved their lives from the local soldiers who planned to recruit them as participants in their military actions. In addition, Pastor Gustavo Castellanos underlined that the relating the own successful experience with God is the most important way to convince the people of God’s goodness and blessing, in order to let them accept Christ’s grace. That’s why we should not be afraid to tell our experience to the neighbors, and we should seek the experience with God by prayer every day that He might grant us the experience, Pastor Gustavo Castellanos revealed.
