Please pray that the flyers that went out this morning will speak to the hearts of those who received them. It's very sad to think how many people don't have God's peace. This flyer is entitled, "I've got peace. Do you?" I put flyers out for a couple of hours and enjoyed listening to Dr. Rick Flanders preach on a great revival passage in God's Word. We need revival. Please pray....

I was able to get out this morning to put flyers out in our community. We're finally into a little period of settled weather. We've had lots of passing showers every day for the last several weeks. It was an interesting day as I saw most of our church kids with some of their family members. The children are off school today as it is their September weekend when they get Friday and Monday off. I was able to remind them about our special service with the Walker family this Thursday. It was a blessing to me as I walked to listen to Dr. Richard Flanders preach by way of Sermon Audio. He is preaching at our church next month. I'm looking forward to all the special speakers God has coming to our church in the next month.

I had one divine appointment with a lady (30's) who said she had never gone to church. I went out of my way to take her a flyer and she kindly accepted it. Please pray for God to awaken her heart.

The Lord gave us a good Sunday with good attendance despite a large family being away on holiday. We had two children who visited for the first time today. I preached this morning on Samuel's Call from 1 Samuel 3. Samuel was chosen by God but it was not without scrutiny. He was a young man prepared for God to use.

We have a busy calendar coming. Thursday we have the Jim Walker family with us. Friday is a youth activity. Saturday is a men's prayer breakfast at another church. The calendar keeps going - but we'd appreciate your prayers for the events of this week. Thank you for praying.

I was able to get out in lovely weather later this morning to put out flyers in our community. Please pray for those who read these flyers. I'm convinced they will generate a lot of conversation and thought. God's Word doesn't return void. Part of my convincement is a 15 minute phone call I just had from someone who received it. Please pray that God will meet the needs in this person's life. God led in our conversation and opened the door for the Gospel.

We'd appreciate your prayers for our midweek service this evening. The adult/teen class is in our 5th lesson on the book of Genesis. We're not doing a verse by verse study, but are looking at the stories found in this book. We're studying God's judgment upon man's sin this evening. Please also pray for Katie's class. She does a great job working with a wide range of ages. We'd love to see some of these children trust Christ.

Thank you for your prayers as we prepare to close on the house and then move. God's hand has been very evident in everything and we look forward to sharing the story of God's provision.

I put out flyers this past Monday but rain and house papwerwork have taken up other time. Please pray for wisdom how to use our time in the coming days. God has provided preaching help during this time. An evangelist friend, who has now taken a church pastorate, and his family will be with us next Thursday. We found out they were going to be over here just in the last few days. Please pray that the Jim Walker family will be a blessing. They are musically gifted and will be sharing that ministry on that night.

George Clayson, a college student, will be preaching in the PM service on 1 October. Evangelist Andy Gleiser will be preaching all of 8 October and a week of meetings. So, God's timing is perfect in that regard as well. Brother Gleiser, his wife and co-worker are also excited to help us redecorate the home before moving into it. Praise the Lord for good friends who are willing to give a helping hand and who are excited to see God's provision! Thank you for your participation in prayer for all of these ministry opportunities and home prayer requests! Very much appreciated!

We had a busy but very good weekend. Friends of our's from Alabama, Russel and Phyllis Dethridge, were here visiting this weekend as they do a whirlwind tour of the UK/ Ireland. There visiting several different ministries. It was fun to catch up with them and for Katie to get to know them. I had enjoyed getting to know them on my trip to Israel in January.

The Trust service yesterday was very well attended. Please pray for those dear people to get saved. It is always evident that God is working there. We had very good services yesterday. I preached in the morning service on, "The Revival We Need" from Isaiah 41. I forgot to hit the record button and so I don't have audio from that service. 

Russ took some pictures of the home we are purchasing and the area nearby. I think you'll enjoy seeing what God has provided. Please continue to pray for the paperwork that needs to be completed before the closing on 29 September. (It is the left side of the shot below. Most homes here are attached on one side or both. So, this is called a semi-detached house.)

Our house offer was accepted and we are rejoicing in the Lord. God has so clearly led in the process. Please pray for His continued grace as we close on 29 September. We are amazed at God's goodness! Below are a couple pictures. It is 3 miles/ ten minutes from our church location in a neighboring community.

God gave Katie a good ladies' meeting on Monday night with 4 ladies able to attend. One other lady would have been there if she had been well. I was also able to get out on Monday to do flyers by myself. Today I went out and did flyers with Don Dillman. I had one specific short divine appointment this morning with a man whom we led to the Lord several years ago. It was just a quick encounter after not having seen him for a long time. But, it was specific because Mark Hikin and I prayed for him last night.

We're still working on getting an offer accepted on the house. Please continue to pray and we'll keep you posted.

It was a joy to have most people back in church today although one lady was still unable to be there due to illness. The young lady who began visiting two weeks ago is going to keep coming we believe. 

We had a good morning service. I enjoyed preaching on the Bible, "What You Hold In Your Hand" from Peter's declaration about God's Word in I Peter 1:16-21.

Tomorrow we believe we will know about our house. We have put in an offer and are waiting to hear back from the owners. Thank you for praying about that. We've seen God's hand throughout this process and are looking to Him for His will.

I enjoyed getting out with Don Dillman yesterday and putting out flyers in his area. We were down below the Forth Road Bridge on a Historic day as the Queensferry Crossing Bridge opened to replace the Forth Road Bridge. My family is looking forward to going accross the new bridge which is the tallest bridge in Britain and also broke a guiness world record.

We didn't have any significant divine appointments but we had some good fellowship. I'm glad to be getting back into the normal outreach routine after a busy summer.

I forgot to mention that the young lady who visited 2 Sundays ago was back this past Sunday night. She is making plans to be here this evening as well. So, that is a blessing. Please pray that our church can help her in her walk with the Lord.

God's good. There has been much accomplished this week regarding our desire to purchase a home. Lord willing, we will know within this next week what will take place. Thank you for praying.
