This is Brother Zlomke's nephew Eddie. He was led to Christ by Mrs. Zlomke on Saturday and was one of two baptisms today at church. Over all we had a great service. There were several visitors and I had a convert of mine come and get baptized that I met over six months ago. The critics always say, "where are they all?" My answer is always, "they are somewhere!" Praise God for a soul winning church!

Today we had a decent crowd in both the morning and evening services. We also had one baptized in the morning service and one baptized in the evening service. This is Justin who got baptized in the evening service. I met Justin on Saturday morning while making a visit. I witnessed to him and he very nicely told me, he just does not believe Christ died for him. I left him with a tract and told him that "faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God." I was surprised to see him come to services Sunday morning. One of our altar workers talked to him, but he told them the same thing he told me on Saturday. After services let out and most everybody left, Justin came back and asked one of the men if he could talk to me. I visited with Justin in my office. He asked me what convinced me about Christ and how to be saved. I told him my testimony and challenged him to trust Christ. However, he said he was still unsure and I did not try and force him at all. I did give him a little booklet called Grow in Grace. The first chapter is on salvation. I told him to work the first chapter of the booklet. He came back Sunday night and said he did the whole booklet and spent about 2 hours on it. I preached and gave the invitation. He raised his hand saying he was lost. I went to him at the invitation and he said he was ready to trust Christ! Praise God! Thank God for soul winning. I knew God was working on his heart, because he kept coming back and coming back. I prayed for the Holy Ghost to convict him several times before he got saved. I sure am glad that he did!

Today I took the missionaries on a tour of one of our three Buddist temples here in town. This is one of their incense altars pictured to the right. Many that I have spoken with think the pictures I show them are from Thailand or some other Asian country. I always tell them, "Nope, they are from Lincoln." This temple we were at today is an impressive building; definitely a lot of money was spent on having it here. However, it is nothing more than an abomination to God Almighty. What a shame that our independent Baptist churches in this town aren't built as big and grand, when we have the truth of the King James Bible in our hand. Missionary Andrew Long told me that he has never been soulwinning in a such a diverse city in all his life. It truly is amazing that God has put our church here. Instead of Lincoln Baptist going to the world, God is bringing the world to us. May we take advantage of this opportunity to reach the world from our own backyard. The service Monday night was fantastic, both missionaries preached and Missionary Philip Jordan preached the final message from Ezekiel 37. He did a great job! If you are looking for soul winning missionaries, these two men would be the ones you want! Thank God for missionaries!

This past Sunday was the start of our missions conference. We had two missionaries here with us. From right Brother Philip Jordan (Spain) and Brother Andy Long (India). Brother Jordan did a great job during Sunday school and Brother Long preached a powerful message on Sunday night. Overall it was a record week for soul winning with 95 trusting Christ as Saviour. We also had three follow the Lord in believer's baptism. Two Sunday morning and one Sunday night. We are looking forward to hearing from both of these men of God tonight as we continue our conference.

This is Blaise Rashidi preaching in the Young Fundamentalist Sunday evening before church. He did a good job as one of our preacher boys. We have three of them here in our church and they are a great blessing to us. Overall the crowds were not as large as I would have liked on Sunday morning, but we did have one baptized. We had good offerings and a very good service on Sunday night with several visitors. Anytime it is the Lord's Day it is a good day! Somebody say, AMEN!
