There is much to be done and much on it's way. Thank you for praying for us as we get ready to host a group from Illinois who are going to help us with ministry tasks for 10 days. Pastor DePoppe and a group from his church arrive on Thursday.
We have several fun ministry opportunities planned. Saturday is an afternoon tea for the ladies in our church, sister churches and in our community. Monday is a one day Holiday Bible Club (VBS) from 10:30-12:30. Wednesday is a pizza party and biography film night. (Torchlighters) Friday is a youth activity. Additionally, we have new Gospel leaflets to hand out and we hope to do some street evangelism.
As far as work projects that we hope to tackle, the new kitchen arrives on Wednesday. My boys and I have been hanging plasterboard and plastering. Lord willing, I'll be finished with that task this evening. We then need to begin the painting and lay a click laminate floor.
The other big project we're going to tackle is a landscaping project on the front of our property. This includes demolishing a brick wall and moving some soil. Please pray for grace and safety as we get into these projects.
This morning before working at church, I did street preaching in Edinburgh. I'm reminded that Stephen was martyred and that Philip saw revival and that they both were filled with God's Spirit. I saw a bit of both this morning as I saw anger about sin and conviction about sin (with tears.) I'd much rather see a desire to get right with God than to hear the anger of those who reject the truth of God's Word. Please continue to pray for the power of God in the street preaching.
Kaite has a lot of responsibility with the team coming, speaking at the afternoon tea, and then she'll also be traveling to Ireland to attend a ladies' retreat where she'll speak in one of the sessions. She is just recovering from illness. Please pray for grace and strength for her for a busy month of ministry.
