Synopsis:

1).  23 respond to our Labor Day service. 2).  Three souls come to salvation in Christ.

New Evangelistic Out Reach:

As we shared with you last time we had planed a special service for Labor Day in which we invited the 37 workers from our local town council to attend.  All responded to our invitation affirming that they would come but on the day only 23 turned up, but what a blessing.  Most of these people had never been in a Baptist church before and it was probably the first time that many had heard a clear presentation of the gospel.  One lady actually cried as the message was being preached.  Despite this none responded to the invitation at the end but one lady did ask if she might start attending our services.  All of those that came were given one of the Beams bibles that they kindly donated to our ministry.  What a blessing to have a support ministry like Beams to provide us with this material for the gospel.  Pray with us that this seed sown might bring forth much fruit in the will of God.

We also had an American couple, who are now living in Santa Lucia with their four kids, come to our meeting.  We had met them on door to door ministry and had extended them an invitation also.  They profess salvation but I think that they are charismatic, so it will be interesting if they keep coming.  As yet they don’t speak Spanish but he teaches in one of the American schools in Tegucigalpa.  Pray for this contact also.

Special Blessings:

God has truly showered us with the blessing of leading three souls to the savior since our last up date.  Two were through a disciple bible study that Carmen and I have been holding in the home of a lady that we lead to the Lord some months ago.  Her husband and mother in law professed salvation and the whole family attend the Methodist church in the town but as we studied I asked both if they were to die where would they go.  Both looked at me with blank faces and responded “Hell”  What a joy to share the Gospel with them and lead them to the Master.

The other came through our pastoral visitation of a sick member.  Her son has been attending a Pentecostal church for several years and professed salvation.  As we shared the news of the two previous salvations with his mother I noticed he was all ears. I began then to talk about the blessing that we have as saved souls to know that if we were to die we would be with our Lord.  I then asked him where he would go, to which he replied he did not know!  How sad to have been attending a church for so long and not to have the knowledge of eternal salvation.  We shared the gospel with him and then asked if he would like to ask Christ to save his soul and give him the assurance of salvation.  He said he would and after praying with us he smiled and said, “Now I know where I will go when I die”.  Pray for all these souls that as we disciple them for Christ we might lead them to obey their Lord in biblical Baptism.

I trust that this report encourages you all to pray for the ministry that God has made you part of through your support.  Pray too that He might have the increase in this ministry and that many more precious souls might come to know the Savior.

Yours in Him.
