Dear
Friends and Family,
We
hope that you are doing well. Last month, we were in 8 scheduled
meetings and 1 missions conference. We were also invited to attend
one preachers meeting and a men's fellowship dinner. Jeremy was also
able to book 7 new meetings. In one of the churches, a young girl had
shared how she believed God was calling her to serve in missions.
What an encouragement! When we had the opportunity, we were able to
help visit with our home church. One Saturday, while visiting, we met
a lady named Hilda. Hilda had attended church but had never rested
her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved. After sharing with
her many Scriptures, she understood that salvation was only by grace
through faith. She then placed her faith in Christ alone. Since being
back in the states, we have seen some pictures of the church in
Nicaragua. It was encouraging to see that the church is continuing to
do well after we left. There was a report of 17 people receiving
Christ recently. Praise God!
Life
in the USA has been exciting for the girls. According to Ellowyn,
every day we get to go to another new church! While it may not be
"every" day, they have had to adjust to new places and new
people on a regular basis. Elijah has been very happy to meet new
people and get lots of special attention. Lila and Ellowyn have found
their niche in giving out prayer cards to everyone they can. Some
people may even receive 2 or 3 of them! All in all, it has been good
for them. They are beginning to understand not just what we do as
missionaries, but why we do it. What a privilege it is to bring the
Gospel to those in need and report back on what God has done!
This
month, there is only one Wednesday when we do not have a scheduled
meeting. We will be very busy, yet we need God's blessing. This
month, please pray:
1.
That God will
use
us
to share the gospel with the lost wherever we are.
2.
That those who hear the Gospel will receive Christ by faith.
3.
That
God will use us to encourage churches in the Great Commission.
4.
That God will provide a few new supporting churches during our
furlough.
In
Christ,
Jeremy,
Michelle, Lila, Ellowyn, and Elijah Blanz
