We are thankful for the grace of God, even in the midst of the difficulties that we have experienced this last year. God is faithful. We have much to be thankful for.
God has truly been blessing our evangelism lately, for which we praise Him. We regularly see sinners call upon Christ, often on a weekly basis. For example, a Malaysian man named Philip has been coming to church for about a year; I met him several years ago as he supplied our printer toner at that time. Several of us have spoken to him about the Gospel, but due to his Catholic background, he never could understand salvation by grace through faith. Last Saturday I felt burdened for Philip, so I called him and arranged to meet. We spoke for an hour or so, and he finally grasped the Gospel. Praise God! Philip called upon Christ with tears and gave me a big hug. He has been very excited since then. Pray for Philip to grow and for his wife Kathleen to come back to church. Prayer works!
Christina’s health has been up and down. These last few days, her chest pain has been more severe tha usual, which is difficult for her. Christina has a variety of complex and painful symptoms. We still have no answers as to the cause of these problems, so please pray.
Please pray for the following:
– Our men’s training ministry that starts up in February
– New converts to grow, including Mikel, Amir, Masud, and Amanda.
– The power of God in our home and ministry
– Spiritual and numerical growth of our church
– Daily grace and wisdom to serve and please God
THANK YOU for your prayers and support. We appreciate you!
In His service,
Mark, Christina, and Adam Tossell
