Tinian Evangelistic Effort
Hafa Adai from Saipan. We have had a good month in the CNMI. We continue to have the regular Thursday night studies with about eight people in attendance. In addition, we have been having ongoing studies with members and some of their family members who are not Christians. With thankfulness to God, we were able to go to Tinian for an evangelistic effort. In addition to my family, we had three members of the Saipan church of Christ work with us. We were able to door knock the entire Marpo Valley which is where sister Herme Omengkar’s son Freddie lives. Sister Herme Omengkar with her grandson, “Boo-boy” (Jared Omengkar).
	During the door knocking, we went house to house (Acts 20:20) inviting people to worship, offering Bible studies, and correspondence course studies. We were very pleased with the reception for a first time effort. We had seven people sign up for the correspondence course which we prepared and mailed the Monday we got back from Tinian. We also held, to our knowledge, the first worship service of the Lord’s church on Tinian. Please pray with us that those we met will have a sincere interest in the God’s Word.	Brother Boyet Cabaluna, our local preacher, and I went back to Tinian for a second door knocking and to have worship services. We were able to canvass a section of Marpo Heights and were able to enroll an additional seven correspondence students. We were also able to have a very good study with Sallie Panis, a friend of sister Minda Barbo. We are planning a third trip for August 8, 9 & 10th. It is our intention, Lord willing, to concentrate our efforts on Tinian from now until the end of the year. Please join us by offering up your prayers for open hearts and open opportunities.

The Work that is Set Before Us
While door knocking in Tinian, we saw this group of children playing. They have become the symbol for our desire. There is no church on Tinian, and without this effort they and their parents will never have the opportunity to obey the gospel of our LORD Jesus and become Christians. Rota, likewise, has no church and no opportunity
