Second Sunday

Well, God is definitely working in Katlehong. Our second Sunday surprised us with six new visitors: five men and one woman. During Sunday School I started teaching through the discipleship lessons. Most of these people have never heard the truth from God's Word before, so we want to make sure we give them the best foundation possible.

After Prince closed out his preaching service, I gave another appeal for the Gospel. I am learning not to be so surprised by people responding, but you just don't see it happen in the States. People want to think about it, to wait. They don't answer honestly that they have sin. Not so here.

The first time I asked if people wanted help learning about how they can go to Heaven, all six visitors raised their hands. Praise the Lord! I couldn't believe it. I was ready for someone to say no, but they all responded. And they all readily admitted their sin in humility and realized they had offended God and broken His law.

It's truly amazing. We had thirteen in total attendance. What a blessing from the Lord! Please continue to pray for these new Christians. They all have struggles in their lives, and many of the women come from broken or battered relationships, and are raising children on their own. God can and will heal them, we just need the time and words to help them along.

We are so thankful for His infinite wisdom, and are amazed that He would use us. His Gospel is still the Good News that changes lives and encourages hearts. Praise the Lord!

I'm not surprised-- that's what God sent you there for! He knew there would be a harvest- and you are reaping the rewards of all your diligence and hard work.

God bless you- we love you and miss you all still- but know it's worth it to see the lost led to the Lord!
