This is the newest member of one of our church families. Her name is Elizabeth Rachel Rashidi. Her mother Masoka is holding her. She was born this past Saturday. Justin (the father) and Masoka are members of our church and attend every week with their four children (will be five now). It is a great blessing to be able to pastor such fine families. This past Sunday was the start of our campaign, overall it was good, although attendance was down for a campaign Sunday. (Probably because of the holiday!) We had 2 professions on Sunday morning with one man following the Lord in baptism who actually got saved from one of our gospel tracts that was left behind last Thursday night. Then on Sunday night we had 55 in attendance with 2 professions being made and one man following the Lord in believer's baptism. Unfortunately, it was my son's last service with us as he left early on Monday to fly back to Texas for college. We will greatly miss him and all that he helped us with around here. One more positive note is the fact that the offerings were outstanding this Sunday. Praise God for all that he does for us and our church families.
