In Mid May, Marcia had the

opportunity to fly to Arkansas

and speak at a Ladies Banquet
at Hope Baptist Church, N.
Little Rock, AR. What a great
time of fellowship. We are
thanking the Lord for the opportunity she had to share the
Gospel & challenge the ladies
there.

Not too long afterwards, we

got the fantastic report that
Marcias Dads petscan came
back cancer-free! We are still
thanking the Lord for that
great news! It truly is answer
to many peoples prayer. We
thank you so much for praying.
Please continue to pray for
them as they have resumed
meetings. Pray for him to return to full strength

So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; But God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he
that watereth are one: (1 Cor . 3:6).
What a blessing to be able to report to you that indeed God continues to give the increase of souls since our last newsletter. First, a
huge praise belongs to God for enabling us to see Beverly come to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. We came in contact with
Beverly around 2010 when she allowed her daughter to ride our church bus. She would visit our church occasionally (and even then, she
heard the glorious Gospel). It took five years, but slowly and surely God was using many to witness to & pray for this precious lady to get
saved. Please pray that Beverly would grow in her Christian life. It wasnt just us that sowed (Marcia and I); it was bus workers, pastors, and
caring church members who prayed and sowed the seed of the Word of God in her heart. The credit truly belongs to God who broke her and
brought her to the realization that only by trusting in Christ alone can she gain eternal life. Secondly, two young men in their early 20s (Joe
in Delta, PA and Johnny in Red Lion, PA) called upon the name of the Lord after hearing about the Gospel warnings of sin, the second death,
and the Gospel blessings of a sin-bearing Saviour, a risen-Lord, and a soon coming King. Both of these men confessed that they had never
even heard about the terrible consequences of sin and how Jesus saves from the power and penalty of sin. Joe said something to this effect:
I have never heard this before; this is shocking. I cant imagine the lake of fire. The same could be said about Johnny. PLEASE HEAR ME OUT:
Just because we live in America doesnt mean everyone has heard about Jesus & the consequences of sin. Hearts are darkened by sin all
around us and we all need to be about our Fathers business. Thirdly, a man prayed out loud weeping and accepted the Lord Jesus into his
life; his name is Eddie. None of this is of us. We are simply sowing, & watering - allowing God to use us as tools to lead others to Him. It is
God who gives the increase. Please pray as our time in America is coming to a close (before our first term as missionaries to the Philippines).
Pray that GOD would continue to use us to see souls saved and lives changed for His honor and glory.
As a result of the number of souls saved, I developed a small postcard entitled How to Grow in the Christian Life. It was an idea
that I got from reading R.A. Torreys book How to Work for Christ. If you would like a free sample, just email me a request and I will send it
to you (pending approval from your pastor). I give them to my new brothers and sisters in Christ that we have personally lead to the Lord
(which is everyone that you have read about in our newsletters). Additionally, I was able to develop a small series of discipleship lessons for
new converts available on the web Currently, they are available and downloadable through my sending churchs website: http://
www.mtziononline.org/#/ministries/building-blocks. Please feel free to use these tools for the growth of new converts.
