In this culture we see a large turn over of people. They seem to be quick to accept Christ, some of them not really being serious and some being quickly lured back into their previous ways. Some come and pray and in a few weeks are back to street living again. We are encouraged with the ones who come and stick with it.
Angela is one of the young people who got saved several weeks ago. On Sunday Doug gave her a study for new converts and in tonight's service, with a glowing face, she handed him the study back completed! That shows her eagerness and dedication! She has come faithfully to just about all of the services since she got saved.
Another person who got saved in the past few weeks is Frederick, son of one of our ladies. Frederick is about 30 some years old and has a boy. Frederick did not get saved at our church, but he and his boy have been attending our church faithfully. Pray that Frederick will stay true to Jesus. It is very hard in this culture for men to stick with it after having lived in the streets, but God is able to help them!
Doug is also giving studies to the other 2 new converts, Leidy and Dennis. As he handed out the pamphlets, 2 more people who have been saved for several years asked for one. They had never done them! Also, a lady who was saved last year has never done them. So we have 4 new converts and 3 former converts doing these studies and it is exciting!
We appreciate your continued prayers as we come into this weekend. We are expecting great things from God! We're trusting God to move among the young people. There is a sense of anticipation and victory, but we cannot let up praying! Thank you for participating in this work through your prayers. Your reward will be "out of this world."
