Dear Praying Friends,
Last month we asked you to pray for L., a
Portuguese man who recently began attending services in our church. He continues to come each week, singing
hymns, turning to each passage of Scripture and listening closely to every
message.
Recently, we began services, but he had not shown
up. I sadly thought, “Oh no, he has quit
coming.” I continued leading the
service, but with a heavy heart. Then,
half way through the song service, L. walked in, but not alone! He had invited his friend, C., to
services and she had reluctantly come.
(Just two weeks before, she had adamantly declared that she would never
come to a church service).
She is the sixth first time visitor we have had in the
last few months! She has continued to
come and listens to my sermons with mild interest. She has three children whom we would love to
have in our services as well. At times,
we have more lost attending our church services than saved! What an opportunity to preach the
Gospel!! In spite of Satanic opposition,
God is at work doing what we could never do!
We know you are praying, we can see the power of God opening doors and
hearts like never before. Please continue to pray for Windward Side Baptist
Church in Lagos, Portugal and for all those in this city that God seeks to
save.
Thanking God for your prayers,
Mark Hale
