Reaching a Whole Family

It was the third week of our Sunday school campaign and God blessed. First blessing was the chance to see Shirley and her family get saved and baptized. (That is always a blessing to have five baptized!) Second blessing was to see a third week in a row of being over 150 in attendance, we had 157 today. Third blessing was to see 47 on the regular bus route come in and 29 on the Karen route. The fourth blessing was to see several new visitors come  along with several second time visitors come back. God is good, please, pray for our big day next week!

Mission of Compassion

We had a fantastic second week of our Sunday school campaign with 159 in Sunday school. We had a total of 15 visitors come and six making public professions of faith in Christ. There were 39 riders on the regular bus route and 35 riders on the Karen route. I had my picture taken with Will John Tut who recently moved here from Sudan. Mrs. Miller also brought a lady from Cameroon named Catherine and another lady from India named Sujata. I also had my picture taken with Tharek who was sporting a new African outfit. Praise God for His goodness.

The Matney Family

The Matney's

This is Missionary John David Matney and his family, missionaries to South Africa. It was a blessing to have them here for the first week of our campaign. They went out soul winning with us on Saturday and spent all day Sunday with us. Bro. Matney preached on Sunday night and did a fantastic job!

Overall we had a great Sunday with 150 in attendance overall. I had 23 in my class alone. We had 2 public professions of faith made at the invitation time and one follow the Lord in believer's baptism. On Sunday night we had 55 in attendance with a couple of visitors. Praise God for a wonderful day!

In Memory of Miss Lucille

Miss Lucille

Miss Lucille Garcia was a faithful member of our church who passed away last night. She was 102 years old and until about 6 or 7 weeks ago, she lived in her own apartment by herself. She faithfully attended until her health began to slip more recently. We will miss Lucille, but our loss is Heaven's gain. She was ready to go home!

Ka Haw Moo

We had a very good Sunday despite many regulars being gone. God blessed with 5 adult visitors attending and two getting saved at the invitation and making a public profession of faith. Ka Haw Moo was a first time visitor with her children. I met her two Saturday's ago while out visiting. We were very honored to have her come and attend. We were also pleased to have Yoo Mu visit today. Her children have been riding on the Karen route for almost a year. It was a great honor to have her attend too. Then Quy Nguyen came and got saved at the invitation today. He is a native of Vietnam and was invited last Thursday night by two of our lady soul winners. Praise God for a good day!

Santo

This is Santo who has been coming to our church for several years. He is a saved and baptized member of our church. I was at the post office earlier this week and a voice shouted out of a crowd "Pastor!" I looked around and didn't see anyone. Then I heard them shout "Pastor, it is me!" I looked again and saw Santo. We spoke for a few minutes and then he told me he would see me on Sunday. Sure enough he was here like every week. I thank the Lord to see some of my converts still coming to church all these years later. Santo is a Sudanese refugee who has lived here since 2008. He is fluent in several languages. Please pray for him as his work schedule keeps him from attending many of our other services. I would like to see him grow in the Lord even more and get involved in our soul winning program! God could use an Arabic speaking soul winner in our diverse community!
