Jim Appel Family
God gave us a great week with the Appel family. Brother Jim, his wife, Cate, and son, Titus, visited us from Monday to Monday. On Tuesday we deconstructed the church kitchen. On Wednesday we did street evangelism in Edinburgh. On Thursday we put out some literature in Roslin. Friday we took up the floor in the kitchen. Saturday we did door to door. On Sunday Pastor Appel preached the AM and PM services. Here is a link to his Sunday AM message on certain things and uncertain things.
We had daily opportunities for fellowship and showing them the area in which we live and minister. Their church has supported our family for around 16 years and we greatly appreciate the opportunity for their pastor's family to get to see what God is doing at SFBC.
We had a great Sunday (Harvest Sunday in the UK) and enjoyed a fellowship meal. A 5 week old was out for his first church service. And, God gave us good attendance. There is a very sweet spirit in our church and it's fun to see the church family spending time speaking with one another after each service.
Please pray for God's grace and guidance as we seek to prep the kitchen in the next 10 days for the installation of the cabinets, etc. The electrician is stopping by the church today to look at what he needs to do. We need to level the concrete floor, lay a click laminate floor, drywall, mud and tape, sand, paint, etc....
Pastor Depoppe and his mission team arrive in a week and a half. They are going to help with the install. We will also be having ministry events about every other day - Ladies' Afternoon Tea, One day Holiday Bible Club, Pizza and film night, youth activity. Please pray for the power of God upon these ministry opportunities. We also hope to get out in street evangelism and putting out Gospel flyer while doing fun activities. So, we are about to hit hyper speed for a little while.
Thank you for your prayers for God's work. His hand is continually evident in our church family, building project and ministry.
