September - October Prayer Letter

Dear Pastor and Praying Friends,

 

So much has happened since our last prayer letter.  We are proud to introduce to you the newest member of our family, Raymond DeSean Beckles.  He was born in Labor Day, September 2, 3013 at 6:32 p.m.  I am happy to report that both my wife and son are doing very well.

And I , if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. - John 12: 32

 

The church is doing well also.  We continue to pray for numerical and spiritual growth and we are happy to report that we are seeing both.  Every  week for almost two months we have had visitors!  Three of them have continued to visit regularly, four souls were saved just this past weekend - two on Saturday and two on Sunday; and our people are taking tracts to pass out and asking how they can effectively witness to their loved ones.  What a blessing!  God continues to amaze us as we see Him keep His promises.

Sumday Morning Service

Please continue to pray with us about the following things:

1.  A tractor for the church.  We have five acres of land that the has to be maintained regularly and a tractor would be a great blessing.

2.  Provisions for our nursery.  Four women in our church have had children this year.  We think that is wonderful, but we would like to have provisions for them when they come to our services.

3.  Prayer for wisdom concerning our children's ministry.

 

In His Service,

Pastor Raymond Beckles
