July Prayer Letter

July 2021

Dear Praying Friends,

He is 89 years old and not in good health. He has heard the truth from his nephew, John, but continues to question the gospel. “Surely, my religious activities should count for something”; “Surely God would let me into heaven because I am a good man” and his questions go on and on. Please pray for Anthony, that he would understand that no one could ever do enough good works to earn a place in Heaven, that only the accomplished work of Christ on the cross is sufficient to save all sinners and give them a place in Heaven. Please pray for John as he faithfully witnesses to his family.

She is a young woman who is searching for truth. Her friend, L., was gloriously saved last fall when Michele led her to Christ. Now L. is bringing her friend, S., to church. She carefully listens to every message and asked for a Bible to read. She takes a different gospel tract after every service and is truly seeking God and His word. Please pray that S. would understand she is a sinner and come to Christ for salvation.

She is the wife of a young preacher, but has grown distant and cold. She hasn’t read her Bible in a year, has ignored the hundreds of videos we have recorded during the Covid lockdowns, is skipping services and now is influencing her daughter to backslide as well. Her husband is a faithful but heartbroken man and he is begging God to bring his wife to repentance and restoration. Please pray for this family!

I know you pray and after 36 years as a missionary, I know God answers your faithful prayers, so I thank you in advance for your bringing these precious people before the throne of the Almighty God.

Praying without ceasing,

Mark Hale
