It has been another full week and we are rejoicing in the Lord. The study on Tuesday went well, one of the young brothers lead the study on Faith and did a very commendable job. He is a brother that is showing a lot of potential for the Lord, and we are all encouraging him as he continues to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our blessed Lord. He is active in almost every aspect of the assembly from the music ministry, co-running the Youth Group, teaching on Sundays once a month, doing evangelism, as well as teaching some of the weekly studies. He has been a blessing.
The study on Wednesday night went well and the attendance was very good. After a study on persecution from the letter to the church in Symrna, we divided into six groups of 5 or 6 and had a good time of prayer. This time was followed by an “eatn’ meeting” where the fellowship just continued on for another 45 minutes or so. It is such a blessing to our hearts to be in fellowship with such a wonderful assembly of the Lord’s people.
Thursday night we had another study at the home of one of the saints who lives up near Mines View. Florie’s husband is home from his work overseas in the Cayman Islands, so while he is at home we will have studies at their home. He is a believer in the Lord and these studies are to encourage him in the faith while he is home.
Saturday we will have another study, Lord willing, up at Mines View. This study, as I have mentioned in the past, is sometimes cancelled because of rain. The venue is an open venue and the heavy rains make it impossible to hold the study.
Tuesday we were out doing some visitation with the saints. We were able to visit a couple of the families from the assembly who were unable to get out to meeting the last couple of weeks. We trust it was an encouraging time for them.
Sunday I will be speaking twice in the morning. Teaching first, once again, in the second and third chapter of Acts, then I will be teaching on the Natural, the Carnal, and the Spiritual man at the Family Bible Hour. Pray that the Lord would encourage and challenge His people, for His glory.
At the end of next week we will be heading down to Manila once again for a check up for Joyce and I will be speaking at the assembly in Cogeo, where we served the Lord for many years.
Thank you for your prayers.
