It has been a crazy August with so much going on, but that is are normal schedule around here in our church. We try to take advantage of the nice weather. In the beginning of the month we participated in our local parade. We were able to pass out about two thousand packets that contained information about our church, a gospel tract, and a John and Romans. We would have passed out more but half way in the parade it started raining and they canceled it due to lightning and thunder. I along with several others were soak and wet. Please pray that these packets would be used by the Lord to draw people to Himself.
She said,…Yes!!!
Chris and Elizabeth
The Lord has been very good to me in giving me so many blessings that I do not deserve. One particular blessing that He has given me is the opportunity to develop a friendship with a wonderful godly young lady. She is Pastor Keith Troyer’s daughter her name is Elizabeth. We met each other at the Bible Camp that Pastor Krohn directs. We have known each other for about six years now through the camp and other various church events. We started to email each other regularly last December with permission from her dad. Then with much prayer and counseling I decided to ask her to court me officially on April 15, 2009. The fifteenth of April will not be a bad day after all since she said,… YES!!! Then after more prayer and counseling I arranged to propose to her during Junior Camp in Butler, PA. After a moment of shock, she resoundingly said, … YES!!! We are officially engaged to be married on November 28, 2009 at the Grace of Calvary Baptist Church, Erie, PA.
Thursday in the Square!
Summer is here and people are out in Western New York which makes for a good time to go out and preach the gospel. During Thursday nights in downtown Buffalo a group of people mostly teenagers would gather to hang out and listen to a free concert provided by different amateur bands. A group of Christians from local independent churches have decided to utilize this opportunity to preach the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. When I am available I try to participate. People are hurting and a lot of them need direction in life. Please pray that God would use this effort to draw people to Himself.

After working with Pastor Troyer with their Daily Vacation Bible School, I was asked by my home church to help in our Vacation Bible School. The Lord greatly blessed. A lot of people attended and we averaged over a hundred children each night. The Lord used this outreach to our community to see about 22 children receive Christ as their Lord and Saviour. Praise the Lord for His saving grace.
