Dear Co-Laborers in Christ, The Grand reopening of the Church was a success. The week of meetings was held September 3-7, 2003. We had good responses through mass literature distribution, publicity in newspapers and television. We had an average of 26 attending each night. (That is great for Quebec). Hearts were changed and people came forward at the invitation to get their lives right with the Lord or to give Him their burdens. The Lord used these evangelistic services in a mighty way! We had five new families begin attending Church as a result of these efforts. We also had several individuals begin attending Sunday services and mid-week Bible study and prayer services. A young man named Stéphane began coming regularly. He then brought he wife, Monique. During an invitation time, Monique raised her hand, indicating she was not 100% sure she was saved. She did not come forward that day, but marked on her visitor’s card that she would like to know more about how to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The following week, Debby and I went to visit Monique and Stéphane. After questioning Stéphane, I was convinced that he was saved. I asked Monique if I could share the plan of salvation with her. She agreed. Monique then prayed to receive Jesus Christ as her personal Savior. Amen! Amen! Amen! Please continue to pray for Monique that she would continue to grow in her new relationship with Christ. Daniel and Lise also started coming to during the week of meetings. At the invitation on Friday night, Lise came forward and prayed to get her heart right with the Lord. They started coming regularly and brought their 2 daughters, Jessica and Tammy. When Debby and I went to visit them, I verified to make sure that Lise was saved. When her daughter Jessica had some questions, I answered them by presenting the plan of salvation. When I asked Jessica if she had ever prayed to receive Jesus as her Savior, she and her mom, Lise, said that both Tammy and Jessica trusted Jesus as their Savior the first night after Lise had come forward at the church. Lise said that when she went home that night, she shared the plan of salvation that was in our New Visitors booklet with her daughters. Tammy and Jessica each testified that they each prayed to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior that night. Amen! Amen! Amen! * Pray that the work will continue to grow and that the
Lord will bless our efforts of sharing the gospel. Debby & I thank you for your continued support and your prayers in these days and months to come!
Co-Laborers together with you in the Great Commission,
