What a busy year it has been so far! Since Daniel and his family joined us, we have really ramped things up. Now, I’m meeting with him weekly, and even many times daily, to update our calendar. Each day is filled with activities and ideas to build up the church for the glory of God. Souls are being saved! So far this year, we have had 87 souls come to Christ, and it would be great to have 100 or more for the year. On the 23rd of November, we are planning to baptise more believers. It has been exciting, and we expect a real “photo finish” at the year’s end! Please pray with us for our many Christmas activities and services, which include Children’s Nativity, Carol Service, carolling, parties, and the Christmas Morning service.

Discipleship and Labourers

The face of our church is changing. Many of the older people in our church are slowing down and attending less. A few have passed away to Glory. We are working diligently to train new people to take their places. The church is growing! God is sending us people who can join in the work. What a joy it is to work for Christ by helping new people train for the Lord! Please pray for us that we will get the right people into place in this work for Christ.

More Visitors and Missionaries

God has brought a few more visitors this autumn. It is always interesting to get to know supporting and praying friends better through touring and sharing our home and ministries. It may make for more schedule challenges, but the blessings outweigh the difficulties. In addition to American friends, we also hosted Robert and Simone Tully, our missionaries to Brazil. They are celebrating 20 years on the field this year! We met them 28 years ago in London and had a part in their preparation to serve as missionaries. It was a particular blessing to have them with our church here in Northern England for our Missions Sunday.

Solt Family News

We had a chance to travel to Boston in September to meet Baby Ember Solt. We really praise God for the gift of life! Ember is growing and seems to have no difficulties at all despite the early birth. Ashley and Jeremy are learning the balance of family, work, and ministry. Thankfully, they have excellent support from their family and church. Their address is Jeremy & Ashley Solt, 10 East Nichols Street, Woburn, MA 01801 USA.

It is so much fun to have family in our church again! We get hugs from Ruby and get to see Andrew growing so very quickly. Rachel and Daniel work as a team to parent the little ones and care for each other. Now our days off might be declared “family day,” and we can get together. Our family thanks you for the prayers and support to keep serving Christ here in England.

Yours for souls,

The Solt Family
