Dear Praying Friends,
She is 92 years old and is the lone survivor of the
Jewish ghetto massacre in Vilnius, Lithuania during World War 2. As we walked around the old town, she showed
us where she saw her family for the last time, where her friends were killed
and the underground sewer she crawled through to escape the Nazis. Tears flowed freely as we gave her a tract to
witness to her of the Jewish Messiah.
She is 38 years old and has heard the Gospel many
times. She even faithfully attended our
church services for almost a year when we ministered in Lithuania. She listened quietly as the plan of salvation
was once again presented to her, but sadly, she still has not been saved.
Victoria is 17 years old. She listened carefully
during my sermon, but unlike the others, Victoria accepted Christ as her
Savior!! Praise God Almighty!! Please
pray for her. After discovering his daughter’s new birth, her lost father
refused to allow her to attend services at the church there. Pray for her father to be saved and for her
continual spiritual growth in spite of family persecution.
Recently, we returned to Lithuania for a two week
visit. I taught in the Bible College in
Vilnius, Lithuania and in Riga, Latvia and preached in churches in both
cities. It is always a joy to see people
still serving the Lord after decades and it is an answer to prayer to get to
witness yet again to those who are lost.
We came back to Portugal, weary, but determined to continue proclaiming
Christ regardless of the response of the hearers.
Plowing and planting,
Mark Hale
