Dear brothers and sisters, I greet you with the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ. I praise the Lord for having a blessed time this month and a good occasion to proclaim the gospel to the people.
We celebrated, together with the church, a day of thanksgiving for the fruits of the earth with which the Lord blessed us this year. The Word of God was preached, hymns were sung to the Glory of the Lord, and youth and children from Sunday school had a rich program for glorifying God. Together we thanked God for His care that the Lord has for us, for the fruits that we received by His mercy. I pray that through such merciful deeds the Name of the Lord will be glorified and unbelievers seek the Lord.
We also had a funeral. One sister, a member of our church, died. She was the mother of 4 children of unbelievers. It remains for us to pray for those who survived and listened to the Word of God. So that the Lord would touch their hearts.
We had in our church the breaking of bread, a holiday dear for the children of God. We visited the sick and aged brothers and sisters. They were delighted that they had such an opportunity to remember the sufferings of Jesus Christ.
Prayer Needs:
-Let us pray for the youth and children with our church that the Lord will strengthen them even more in the work of God and that he will keep them from the evil one.
-For those unbelievers who heard the Word of God, so that the Lord would touch their hearts.
-For the ministers of the church so that they are a good example for others.
I am very grateful to you for continuing to be partners with us in the work of God. You are a good support and support for us. We wish you many blessings from the Lord in the future, and that the grace of God will always be with you.
With great love the Gortopan family.
