January-‐March 2015 Dear Praying Friends, What a blessing it is to look at what the Lord has been doing here! Though the day-‐to-‐day plans never happen as fast as we would like, it is good to see the difference that is made over a short period of time! Since our last prayer letter, we have been able to finalize the rental of a new storefront where we will begin having church services soon! Though everything takes longer than expected (like waiting six weeks just to get a rent contract and then waiting another month for the electricity to get turned on), we know that everything is under the Lord’s timing and control. We are looking forward to the exciting new opportunities that will be available to us once the space is ready for public meetings! Please pray for our continued outreach efforts in our neighborhood here; particularly with the young people. God has given us many opportunities with so many friendly neighbors, and we want to make the best use of those occasions. Along with preparations for the church services, I have been doing some construction, including building a pulpit and making other updates. In the midst of these projects, I had an accident with a razor knife and sliced the side of my leg quite badly. I
ended up getting seven stitches in the muscle and another twelve across the top of the five-‐inch gash. After two weeks on crutches, the stitches have been removed and I have been recovering very quickly, Praise the Lord! Even in this, we saw the Lord’s blessing – it could have been much worse if I’d cut an artery or tendon! Also, it was a blessing to see our neighbors’ response as the whole evening of the accident, and much of the next day there was a stream of neighbors who came to offer their assistance and to see how I was doing! What a blessing to see an evidence of the relationships that have been built here in our neighborhood!
As we look forward to beginning regular church services in the very near future, we ask for your prayers for wisdom and guidance on our part and that the Lord will bless those services. We have had a number of people say that they would come once we start services; pray that they would do so. Pray that hearts would be opened to God’s word; that souls would be saved and lives would be changed for Him!
