The Lord has opened many doors for us to share about the work in New Zealand, as well as the upcoming work in South Dakota. We want to express our deep appreciation to the pastors who have allowed us to share our burden for this work.
It has been encouraging to see how God has been moving in the lives of people around the altars. In one of the services in South Carolina, a lady came forward for salvation. In another service, several people were at the altars seeking the Holy Ghost. May the Lord continue to pour out His Spirit in these last days!
We are deeply grateful for the generous offerings that have been given, as well as for each of you who faithfully support us on an ongoing basis through your prayers and financial contributions.
South Dakota Update
Around the middle of this month, we are planning to join Brother and Sister Sanders in South Dakota to assist with the pioneer work the Lord has laid on their hearts.
It has been a great encouragement to hear reports of how God is working in the lives of people in that area. We would greatly appreciate your prayers for both the Sanders and us, that God would continue to guide us and use us for His Kingdom.
The Sanders are currently conducting services in a community center in their apartment complex. Please join us in prayer that God will open the door to a more permanent location for the church services.
Outreach
While visiting Brother Sonny Griswold’s church near Elm City, North Carolina, we took the opportunity to bake Valentine’s cookies and distribute them, along with tracts, throughout the surrounding neighborhood. We are grateful for the individuals we were able to connect with, sharing the Gospel and extending invitations to the church. It was encouraging to hear a couple of them express plans to attend a service there.
We were grateful for the opportunity to join our friend, Sister Rita Rodden from the Gastonia, NC area, in serving a meal at a local food bank. Before meeting the physical needs, we were able to share a few songs and minister to the spiritual needs of those present. It was a blessing to serve both the soul and the body.
While we were in the Sumter, SC area, we were able to join a couple of pastors, Kyle Preskitt and Seth Cowert, along with some others, for street ministry.
NZ Video Youth Class
A couple of months ago, two boys who used to be our neighbors in New Zealand joined us for our youth class. In our last class, Reitha felt led to share the story of the three Hebrew children. She emphasized the importance of not bowing down to idols, as well as guarding against idols within our hearts. We challenged the youth to memorize the 10 commandments. We told them that if they memorize them, we will send them something. They want American candy! LOL.
