Tatay Marshel and Nanay Susan have been a blessing! Last year we watched them find salvation in Christ! Since then, they have come to church faithfully, bringing several grandkids with them. :) In July, they followed the Lord in Believer’s Baptism! This precious couple is a testiment that you’re never too old to be saved! The Gospel can still penetrate the heart and convert the soul at any age!

We were so happy for the opportunity to feed 70 plus children at extension classes! We want to help these kids, yes, spiritually and also physically! In Scripture, Christ often helped people with physical needs as a way to reach them spiritually. It was a blessing to watch these little faces as they enjoyed their food! We will continue to bring food to different classes in the coming months. Please pray for these children and their families! Pray that they would be saved and come to church!
Extension Classes have started again! We have several teams going out every Saturday to teach kids about Christ. It’s exciting because this year it’s not just staff and college students, but church members are volunteering to lead classes too! Sometimes getting to the class is an adventure all on its own. Chris warned me, “Come prepared because we’re going to cross a river.” My husband enjoys teasing me so I didn’t think he was serious; not until I saw the river. :) There are easy places to cross but some days we can’t because the hard rains raise the water levels. On one such day a teen from our group fell and was completely soaked! On those days I look at my husband and say, “Why are we doing this?” :) But truly, there is a reason because just across that river is a little town full of people that need Christ! And when they see a foreign family cross that river, they want to know why! That gives us a great opportunity to share the Gospel with them.
We were blessed to hear from home this week! A young man from our route asked the Lord to save his soul! Andrew is a young father that has attended church with his family for a few years now. His wife was saved and baptized last year so it has been such a blessing to see this family come to Christ. This is what it’s all about folks! Keep inviting people to church, keep reaching out to the world and let Christ work in their hearts. You never know who is listening!
Rescue the perishing, duty demands it; Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide; Back to the narrow way patiently win them; Tell the poor wand’rer a Savior has died.”
