They held their peace and glorified
Acts 11 portrays to us a vivid picture of the battle between
old-testament-way of life and worship and the new ones.
Although born again and baptized the Jewish-wing of the
church was reluctant to give up the old ways of doing things.
They didn’t even preach the good news to non-Judeans (:19).
Even though Peter’s shadow healed some people, deep inside
he needed a very serious transformation. The application
of these biblical truths is far more reaching than we may
imagine. This struggle comes in every age the church exists. In
every age church goes through the motions of making a choice
of transforming itself into the new ways of life and worship.
Summer Camp
According to the forecast, the first day of our camp was supposed to
be raining. God’s people prayed. There were clouds and lightning.
It was humping and bumping but no rain. It was very sensitive for us
to install all the tents without rain. On the second day, rain was not
on the forecast but it poured. The Lord is a lord of powers of nature.
The camp was a success in winning souls for Christ and
preaching the gospel to indigenous Bashkir people. Please
pray for those repented in the camp to do their next spiritual
step. Also, pray for the local people who were in contact with
us and their coming to Christ.
ESL
We thought we would come up with a new name for our esl
school in this prayer letter but we won’t. It just takes a little while.
Please pray for wisdom and creativity as we plan for the new
school year. Could you pray for the fulfillment
of one need? We need $300 for our websites and hosting for our
school for next year.
Friends and Family
This is final week of rest for us all before starting a new school year.
Thank you for praying for us. We are so honored to be used by the
Lord for preaching and proclaiming His Kingdom here in Bashkortostan.
