A Third and a First

Dear Praying Friends:
Did the title cause you to pause and think?!!! 
Here is what it means!!! Mrs. Sa is the third person of the third generation to lead someone to the Lord. PTL the chain is expanding!!! On Thursday afternoon, Mrs. Se and Mrs. Sa witnessed to Mrs. Su, who said she was not ready to accept Christ. After they left, she called and said she had changed her mind and decided she wanted to trust Christ!! Mrs. Sa led Mrs. Su to pray to receive Christ on the phone( a first). Pray for Mrs. Sa as she disciples Mrs. Su and ask God to help both of them to grow as disciples. Mrs. Sa herself has only been a Christian about 3 months!!
Mrs. Fu who volunteers at the Group Home led Mrs. Ka, a staff member, to the Lord this week. Mrs. Kahad indicated at worship on Sunday that she wanted to trust Christ. This was Mrs. Fu’s first experience in leading someone to Christ. Pray she will be obedient to the Holy Spirit as He leads her to witness to others also.
In Togane there are ten new Christians who have not yet been baptized. Four of them were saved this week! We hope to have a baptism for Mr. Sa on the 26th in the ocean. Pray that schedules, work, etc will all come together and that it will happen. Also, pray that Mr. Yo will have a day off work so he too can be baptized and worship together with his brothers and sisters in Christ. Pray for the Mr and Mrs. N, the three folks at the care home, Mi, Sara and Mrs.O to be baptized as well.
New Christians who are just now beginning to be discipled are leading their friends to Christ!! These new Christians need to be discipled and at the same time they need to be discipling the newer Christians! Pray that each will live Luke 9;23 and John 15:5. It is quite a challenge to keep all the links of the discipleship chain moving along. At the same time it is a such a blessing to listen to their testimonies during worship. Do they ever love Jesus!!! These Christians don’t just believe God CAN ANSWER their prayers, they believe He “will answer”! What a difference!! They share what He is doing in their lives!!
How we wish each of you could see pictures of the baptisms, of our worship times, etc. Soon that will be possible!!! We will have a website!! We have a person who is going to set up and maintain it for us! How we praise the Lord for this answer to prayer. He is ready and waiting on us. Pray we can get the information to him so he can get it set up soon.
What an awesome week!!! What a wonderful God we serve!!! What great challenges and work lay ahead!!! He knows His plans for His Church and He is leading the way. Pray all of us will be obedient and follow the Holy Spirit each day. Pray for protection for the leaders. Pray that the many who heard the gospel this week and did not say yes to Christ will open their hearts the next time they hear.
Praising Him and Giving Him the Glory, and continuing to Claim His Promises,
Tak and Lana
