Dear
Praying Friends,
I first met him over two and a half years ago and at
that time he let me know that he would NOT be attending services at our church.
He was polite, but very firm on that
fact. I prayed for him but never expected
to see him at our church. Yet the first
Sunday of this month, he walked in to services and brought with him a 71 year
old friend! They are both lost but seemed to enjoy the services and promised to
return this next Sunday. It is amazing
to see the power of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of sinners and how only He
can draw them to Christ when we are powerless to effect any change! Praise the Lord!
As another way to get involved in our city and open up
more opportunities for personal evangelism, we are offering free English
classes at our church building during the week.
We used this method of evangelism in Lithuania years ago and it seems to
be bearing fruit already. Many have
called inquiring about the classes and two are coming this Sunday to register.
Thank you, in advance, for your faithful prayers for
this new ministry, for the new visitors and for the city of Lagos. It is our honor to represent you here in
southern Portugal.
Sowing the seed,
Mark Hale
