Interesting week....
This has not been a normal week. But, it has been a good week. We are in the final stretch on our sanctuary remodel and felt the need to put in some extra time. So, Monday was a church work day. We're trying to get finishing work done before the carpet is laid in two weeks time. Please pray for wisdom on where to focus our energies. A hallway carpet was torn out. Filler was put on walls and then sanded after it dried. The foyer of the sanctuary is almost finished with paint work. God's been good to bless our efforts at moving forward.
Tuesday I flew to Ireland to spend time in prayer with Pastor Les Hill. We enjoyed having another pastor, Declan Flanigan, join us for prayer in the afternoon. God gave me a great witnessing opportunity with an Irish Catholic man on the return flight.
Today, I had one of the greatest joys a minister can have. I was contacted by a 24 year old young man who had emailed me last year after receiving a Gospel flyer. God has been working in his heart. Today he wanted to meet up and he accepted Christ as His Saviour. Praise God for the power of the Gospel. Glory to God for what He has done in this young man's heart. Please pray for him as he grows in the Lord. We got more work done on the church today as we scraped rubbery substances off the concrete in preparation for screeding.
Your prayers avail much. We feel like we are in the thick of it at times, but God is faithful and keeps showing His mighty hand. Thank you for standing with us for the glorious cause of the Gospel.
