20 souls saved in 10 months

Praise God for His amazing blessings!

As of last weekend we now have 20 that have made decisions to repent of their sins and trust Christ as their Savior. But the work is only just beginning. Although we have not seen all of these new believers come to church yet several have been several times. It is a brand new experience for these folks. Most of these new believers have never held a bible in their hand, sung a Christian song, or attended any kind of a church ever! Wrap your brain around that thought for a while and contemplate the challenges that it brings.

The number one challenge is to move them from the community into the church meeting place. We are learning that we may have to bring the church to them through Bible study or small groups for a while until they can understand what church is about. So pray for us.

God has used our people doing the simplest thing there is to reach people in our city: opinion polls. It doesn't work for everyone but it sure works for us. My challenge to you is, find what works and work it till it doesn't work anymore.

Thanks for your encouragement Jason!
Last Saturday we lead two more to Jesus. We now have 22 saved since April.
Pray for us as we diligently work to disciple these folks. It's a lot of work.
I think of you guys often.
