We are so blessed to be able to be bringing God’s saving message to
the people of the CNMI. The month on January has been very
promising for the spread of the gospel. We have started new studies
with 11 people in the last six weeks. In addition to this, we have
continued the studies we have been having for a while with several
groups and individuals.
We have received the first edition of the House to House/Heart to
Heart newsletters. We are very excited about these and plan on
getting them into the hands of the people of Tinian in early
February. The first day we got the newsletters from the Post
Office, I gave out copies to three people we had been
studying with and they loved them! That evening Boyet and I went to
visit a couple he has known for about 12 years. The couple
expressed the desire to find the right church and we gave them one
of these newsletters. They were very impressed and started asking
questions about the church of Christ. Before we left, we ended up
having about an hour long study with them. They indicated that they
would come to services this Sunday. Please pray for them; their
names are Acca and Lena.
I have known for years that HtH/HtH is a wonderful evangelistic
tool, today that was proven on the first day we used them on the
island of Saipan. Please pray for us as we use this tool to
evangelize the islands of the CNMI.
I was able to travel to Tinian 3 times this month, I spoke with
several people about setting up Bible studies but nothing was set up
yet. We are praying fervently that when the people of Tinian see
the high quality publication we are sending to their P.O. Boxes they
will want to learn more about the church that belongs to Christ.
One
of the young men who was baptized this summer, Ruel, has returned
from the Philippines. We were thankful for his safe travel and are
encouraged daily by his enthusiasm and desire to put God first in
his life. Please pray for his zeal, and pray for all of us,
especially Sarah at this time.
