What an exciting Sunday! \u00a0Praise the Lord for this special blessing! \u00a0Pray, pray, pray that these families will respond to what they have heard and be saved!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Christians, it&#8217;s always a tremendous blessing to see the Lord work in our lives and in the ministry around us. \u00a0Sometimes we get discouraged when we don&#8217;t see the results of our labor turn out quite the way we wanted. \u00a0But then there are times when you weren&#8217;t expecting it, that God moves and does something amazing. \u00a0I think &hellip; <a class=\"meta-nav\" href=\"http:\/\/fbbc.com\/chrisbaran\/blessings-on-the-field\/\">Continue reading &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[24],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/fbbc.com\/chrisbaran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1552"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/fbbc.com\/chrisbaran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/fbbc.com\/chrisbaran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fbbc.com\/chrisbaran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fbbc.com\/chrisbaran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1552"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/fbbc.com\/chrisbaran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1552\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2205,"href":"http:\/\/fbbc.com\/chrisbaran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1552\/revisions\/2205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/fbbc.com\/chrisbaran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1552"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fbbc.com\/chrisbaran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1552"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fbbc.com\/chrisbaran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1552"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
