Dear friends,
Well so much has gone on this month, I'm going to have to be careful not to write 3 letters in one.
To begin, we are working on the dorm for the vocational school. We are ready to put on the ceiling and pour the roof. The walls are completed and we are putting everything in place to pour the concrete on the top. This makes the ceiling and with this dorm we are planning for the future to put a second story sometime in the future.
Another awesome blessing, we are about to take possession of the bus. Yes, we are going to purchase a Church buss. With help from some people in the States, the sale of the old buss and projects the Church people are doing to raise money. What we are doing is borrowing half of the purchase price and we have raised the other half. We will be making monthly payments for the next several years to complete the purchase price. The Church has taken this financial responsibility.What a needed tool this is here in our city. It is just AWESOME how our Lord and Savior solves minor problems.
Now to some more AWESOME news, this time about evangelism. As I have mentioned we have had a Church from Virginia Beach coming down to do some presentations in our public schools. This group was 31 strong and they came to evangelise.This was planned and in the making for about a full year. Yes. public schools, the miracles we saw were AWESOME to say the least. Now if you are interested in numbers, after 8 days of ministry in the schools we collected over 1000 commitment cards. Of these cards we had 435 decisions to accept Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. Yes, miracles still do happen!! Pray over these people and our next job to do the follow up on these people. We will be putting the cards in the areas with the people that work in each area and they will begin the visitation. But primary interest is the 435 but each person that filled out the cards will get a personal visit from someone at our Church.This will open many doors for us to be able to share the Gospel message with many more people.
Here is one of the miracles that happened while this group was here. When we gave an invitation at one of the schools, one of the adult leaders in the group came to me and said that he had noticed a girl crying away from the crowd. I went to her and asked if I could help her or pray with her. She said she was a believer but had not been glorifying God with her life. I prayed with her and she rededicated her life to Christ. While praying some other girls circled around us. When I finished I asked the others about their spiritual lives, these other three accepted Christ as their Savior with tears in their eyes. And now on top of these blessings two other girls that were with them began to enter the conversation and Patricia said that she would disciple these girls.---how much more AWESOME could a week be?!!!
We are having a glorious time with the visitors that are passing our way and watching what God is doing through each and every one that comes to visit. Would you like to be a part of what God is doing here? Well it is easy, just come on down. The bed is turned there is a mint on the pillow and God is waiting to show you what He is doing here.
In His service,
Aj and Barbara
