Peace, brothers and sisters!
We are grateful to the Lord for each one of you who are together with us, fellow workers in the Lordâs vineyardâthrough your prayers, moral and spiritual support, physical involvement, and financial help!
We see how good the Lord is and how beautifully He works in different ways, through different people. Glory to Him, for He prepares the ground before we even step on it so that we may walk in victory with Him!
Because we were deeply involved this summerâfacing great battles, exhaustion, and intense spiritual warfare in the fight for soulsâwe can now say, even though it was difficult, that Jesus is good, He is working, and He gives victory. We give Him all the glory! Glory to Him!
Thank you for your prayers and for the love you have shown us and the ministry here!
Thank you for each of your acts of service, through which the Lord strengthens us as we remain here and witness the battles people faceâtheir struggles, addictions, fears, and more. Your support gives us strength, hope, and encouragement to keep pressing on, striving to win them for Christ, through the power and guidance of the Lord alone!
The Lord is working in people’s hearts through the Gospel that has been preachedâone-on-one and in gatheringsâand continues to work and touch hearts, setting people free from their sinful state.
We had teams from Canada join us, and by the grace of the Lord, we were able to visit homes, evangelize, and hold evening gatherings to study the Scriptures together with people from the village.
We rejoiced to see people respond to the invitation to attend these events, where they heard songs of praise to the Lord, testimonies, and the preaching of the Gospel!
During the visits, we shared with people what repentance truly means, what Christ has done for us, how much He loves them, and what He desires from usâthat we give Him our hearts and follow Him fully.
We told them that salvation is not something we can earn through our own efforts, because Christ has already paid the price with His blood on the cross at Golgotha in our place!
We give glory to the Lord for the strength He gave to the brothersâand to usâto share Christâs love and to answer the many questions people had so they could better understand the Scriptures.
It was a time of grace, during which three souls decided to be baptizedâthree people who have been attending the church for 6 years and 1 year, respectively. Praise be to the Lord!
My wife and I visited them personally to make sure they clearly understood the Word of God, to answer any remaining questions, and to study the Scriptures together if they desired to grow in knowledge.
We urge you to pray for this victoryâfor these soulsâas well as for all those who heard the Gospel this summer: children, youth, and adults. Pray that they would come to Christ and that the evil one would have no power over them. May the Lord strengthen them and keep them faithful and strong on His path!
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and thank you again for your lifted prayers!
