We had a great Exchange seminar last week. It was encouraging to see 6 people graduate from the soul winning and discipleship training. I was able to witness to one of my neighbors last week and he and will be continuing with the Inquires Bible Study. I was also able to go through the gospel with a teen that visits our youth group and his family. Casey was able to go through the entire gospel presentation with his mother and they will be continuing in the Inquires Bible Study. What a blessing to see so many opportunities to be a witness last week. Let’s not let the excitement for soul winning wear off. If our church is to grow it will be through soul winning and discipleship.

I have been convicted that I do not talk to my neighbors about Christ. The Lord had been working in my heart but I was fearing ruining a relationship. Last week in the exchange seminar I decided that I would witness to my neighbors the next time I had a chance. Last Friday night I went next door to witness really fearing what would happen. I was surprised that my neighbor wanted me to come in and speak with him. I think that I have trained myself to expect rejection when talking about Christ instead of expecting God to work. I am reminded of the promise in Matthew 9:37 “Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;” Be a Godly witness to your neighbors and take every opportunity to bring them to Christ.

Sunday was a bit down on attendance. I think that we had a lot of people that were sick, however I want to encourage you to be faithful. Every Sunday that a person misses makes it easier to miss the next.

Pray for Wil Kroeker he is in much pain. His small intestines are constricted making it difficult to eat.

Also pray for the Nick family. Helen Nick died this morning. The funeral is going to be at Highlands Baptist Church on Monday the 26th. The funeral will be in the morning a specific time is yet to be decided. Pray for the family as they make the necessary plans.

I am praying for each of you,
Pastor Josh
