Praise the Lord…

January 11th, 2007

As I write to you, we have closed the Thursday evening crusade services. Like every night before many were saved. The church building has been full every evening. We sing and pray for 35 minutes and then I preach for 50-60 minutes. Dr. Negrut then extends the invitation for people to pray and trust Jesus. After each service, the new converts come to the front and talk to a trained lay leader. There they pick up a New Testament and follow-up materials. It is my understanding we will meet with all of the new believers after the concluding Sunday evening crusade service. I was told that we can expect standing room only Sunday night for the last service. Please continue to pray.

This has been an incredible week. The church prayerfully prepared for the meeting. Scores of lost people have been present as guests of church members each night. During the services, the Pastor leads in two extended prayer times. It would warm your heart to hear the people cry out to the Lord for the souls of men. Our Heavenly Father has been faithfully at work.

Robert and Stan have been teaching four hours each day at the school. They will be out preaching Sunday morning and then join us for the closing service at Emanuel at 5 p.m. That will be 9 a.m. Monday morning in Pensacola.

On Friday morning, I have a unique opportunity. I will be interviewed by a Christian radio station that reaches all of Europe. I am praying that my accent will be understandable to those who listen. They may need the gift of interpretation.

Dr. Jerry Passmore will preach at Olive on Sunday morning. You will hear from several mission teams Sunday evening. I look forward to opening my heart to you again on January 21. I cannot wait to see all of you who worship with us at Olive.
