This past Thursday night we had 29 soul winners out with 31 souls saved. Two of our soul winners were my wife and her partner Miss Erika. While they were together out soul winning they met these two ladies that each of them were able to lead to Christ. Pictured to the right is my wife and her convert Dorey. Dorey understood English and my wife was able to lead her to Christ.
Then below is Miss Erika (on right) and her convert Maria. Maria is Dorey's mother and doesn't speak much English. Miss Erika lead her to the Lord in Spanish. Interesting note her is that for a long time Miss Erika has seen Maria ride the city bus that she was on. However, she had never spoken to her to her before. She was delighted at the chance to witness to Maria and then lead her to Christ. These were two of many good soul winners and their two converts.

The Converting of a Buddhist
These little girls were won to Christ by my wife last Thursday night and came to church on one of our bus routes on Sunday. The interesting thing about the whole story involves the parents of these two little 2nd graders. The little girl on the left has a mother named Kyi, she was of the Buddhist faith. The little girl on the right has a mother named Ta, she was already saved 15 years ago. Ta speaks good English and Kyi speaks almost no English. They are neighbors and both are Karen folks from the land of Burma.
This past Thursday night I was invited inside to talk with the parents while my wife was allowed to witness to their daughters. As I spoke with the parents I used Ta to translate the Gospel into their language for Kyi. I asked Kyi about going to Heaven and if she wanted to know how? She said yes, and after about a ten minute Gospel presentation she bowed her head and trusted Christ. It was exciting! I never get tired of seeing another soul come to Christ! Then to my amazement both wanted their kids to ride the Sunday school bus. Praise God!

New Bus
The past several weeks have been busy while we are rounding out the Summer time. The last two Thursday nights we were very successful in our Summer Soul Winning 101. We had 52 saved the first Thursday night and 47 saved the second one. Then last Tuesday we were taking our bus in for some new tires and had the fuel line start on fire. After looking like the bus was toast I began to pray about what we would do for a bus. Within two hours we were offered a bus ten years newer for a donation to our church. It is also a diesel instead of a gas bus. What a tremendous blessing this is going to be to our church. The bus ran on Sunday and I look forward to using it for our Thursday night soul winning next week. God is good to us!
