The Latest

WoW! It has been a whirlwind couple of days. We have met some great people, seen a great impact, and had some great ministry opportunities.

The Men's Dinner was a great success! There were about 24 men in attendance sharing about the men who had an impact in their lives and hearing about how God can change the lives of ordinary. Many great connections were made and several showed interest in learning more about a relationship with Jesus Christ and being discipled.

Youth Night--WOW! Over 20 youth showed up to play crazy games, eat yummy pizza and enjoy a pepsi, and hear about Jesus, our True Hope. The evening was full of laughter and a huge kickoff for the new youth group at Point Christian Fellowship. Several came to know Jesus as Savior after Chris and Dempsey shared about their friend, Jesus. WE are excited about the future God has for this youth group!

We were blessed to be able to share in music and Message in Sunday Morning with Westbury Baptist Church. How amazing to share in Communion with church members from across the world. Chris' voice was almost completely gone by the end of the message, but it held on long enough fore the sermon about God's purpose for the Church.

Sunday Evening brought lots of fun! Dempsey and Jace shared evangelism bracelets and the God's Love book with Mission Friends/ CIA. We were able to sing with the new worship band at the Point Christian Fellowship. Heather and Rachelle sang Healer and Diana, Heather, and Rachelle sang Jesus Messiah. CIA/ Mission Friends shared in One True God amd Dempsey and Jace sang "Prayin' Man". We enjoyed worshipping the Lord with the praise band and sharing communion with our sister church, as well. Chris shared from his heart from the scripture about The Body of Christ. We were blessed that The Holy Spirit drew two more to Jesus, as they accepted Him as Savior!

We are blessed to see God at work as new ministries continue to arise this week, and people are answering His call to salvation. We just stand back and watch the power of the Holy Spirit and His Word at work. Most of the folks who have accepted Christ have attended numerous gatherings during our stay here. Would you please continue to pray as we finish our week full of gatherings?

Prayer Points: Pray that new believers will seek discipleship.
Pray that God will continue to raise up leaders for community ministries.
Pray that those without the hope of Jesus will be attracted to gatherings, and will want to know more about Jesus.
Pray for more divine appointments.
Pray for upcoming events: After SChool Club, New Disciples Bible Study, Family Night, Farewell Party, Ministry Visits, Ladies' "Invitations Tea", distribution of Bibles, evangelism braceets and Bible Study material, Ladies' Thursday a.m. Bible Study.

Thank you! You are on the mission field with us! Thank you for praying for both the seed and the harvest!--- Heather
