Our latest prayer letter (July 1st) went out this week and a some of this information is in that. Thank you for praying for D____y. On Sunday June 29th D____y penitently called on the Lord Jesus to save him. He is evidencing a changed life and trying to get his brother to come out to meetings. I started discipleship with D____y this week and he is displaying understanding and seems hungry for the Word. Thank you for praying. Please continue praying for D____y.
Pray for A____y. I did not catch-up with A____y until late yesterday (Friday, July 4). We did not have a Bible study at that time, but he said he was still interested. Sometimes people's lives are in some chaos and it is difficult to peg them down to a time even when they are interested enough to listen. Pray that the Lord would arrange A____y's day this coming Friday so that we can meet.
Pray for a married couple, R___e & M____a. One of the members of the Shelburne mission-church introduced me to these folks and set-up our visit for us, which is great! My partner for the day, Dave, and I spend two hours with R & M and gave them the Gospel in detail--speaking about sin, condemnation, Hell, the Diety of Christ, Christ's incarnation, Christ's blood atonement and substitutionary death and His bodily resurrection. I also went over repentance and faith. They listened attentively.
On Friday I went back to their home and exhorted them to be saved and taught them about repentance and faith from the Scriptures. They seem to be genuinely seeking but were not ready--seeking but not alarmed about their condition as they should be. They said they would really enjoy a weekly Bible study. We will start that this coming week. Please pray for R & M! Pray that the Lord will open their hearts more and more and that they will be obedient to the Word of God and continue in the grace of God.
God is in this work. Your praying earnestly will move our God more, that we may glorify God as He gives the increase.
Pray for me and my team members, Dave, Don, Chris, and others.
I believe Roseway Baptist Church-mission will be made autonomous soon, as the Lord is working in Brother Christ Tedford's life and his preparation comes to the place where he is ready (qualified & proven). We will continue to work in the area for the next year to year and a half seeking souls and discipling new converts.
