Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for your continued prayers and support. We greatly appreciate them!
Soul Winning
Our church places a large emphasis on soul winning. We also make it a priority to train soul winners. One of the great passions of our team leader, Pastor Speer, is the training of effective soul winners. One of the most rewarding things I get to do each week is to help train soul winners. I teach a class on Saturday mornings for any church members who want to learn how to win souls. We have been averaging about 15 to 20 in attendance each week. We also have about 80 to 100 soul winners who meet together on Saturday mornings and go out to win souls.
Recently I went out soul winning with 2 of our teenagers. One of them, named Dacoster, witnessed to an 11-year-old boy named Sammed (pictured on left). I was so pleased to hear him thoroughly present the Gospel and lead Sammed to Christ. Sammed came to church with me the next day!
I have also had the privilege of assisting Pastor Speer in the training of our Bible college students to be soul winners. It has been such a blessing to see many of our students bringing their converts to church and leading them to follow the Lord in baptism!
April 30-May 2, our church conducted a Vacation Bible School for kids in our church and community. Over 500 kids came each day. We had a class time each day and taught the kids about salvation. We divided up into 20 classes. Over 130 kids received Christ as their Saviour. The great blessing was that it was the soul winners we have trained who taught these kids and led them to Christ!
There is no greater joy than being a laborer and training laborers for God’s harvest!
In Christ,
Charles, Lindsey, and Josiah Osgood
