NUPTIALS IN TEXAS
We
are presently in Texas for Ian and Angela’s big day. They will be exchanging
vows on Monday, the 2nd of July at the Baptist Tabernacle in Grand
Prairie where Angela’s dad, Randy Tucker, is pastor. The next day they will be
heading west on the long drive to Monterrey, California (Lord willing) where
Uncle Sam has stationed A1C Wheeler for training. Would you remember this young
couple in prayer as they begin a new life together serving God and country?
THE WORK IN CAERLEON
During
our absence Bro. Jack Hardy is handling all aspects of the ministry. The two
week Caerleon Festival kicks off while we are stateside, and this should bring
out more people on the streets than we’ve seen up to now. Jack and his dear
wife Ute will be out among the people, and we pray that there will be folks
willing to listen to a good word spoken for the Lord Jesus Christ. So many come
for the artistic emphasis of this cultural festival; pray
that the Master Potter Himself would be at work fashioning vessels for His own
glory.
Before
leaving Wales I had a brainstorming session with Bro. Jack and we lit upon the
idea of a car boot sale outreach. Every second or third Sunday afternoon this
time of year a car boot sale (think yard sale out of the back of your car) is
held right behind the school where we meet on Sunday mornings. The cars are
lining up even before we finish the service. We figured since just about
everything but the kitchen sink is on offer, why not go back and offer the words
of eternal life? We’re waiting for a Sunday when it doesn’t rain to get
started (inclement weather cancels the sale). I can’t think of a better reason to pray for sunny Sundays, can you?
Our
Sunday morning services so far have proven to be our least attended service
(normally six to eight of us), lower even than our Thursday evening house
meetings. We praise the Lord for cramped quarters at home, but desperately
desire much less “elbow room” on Sunday mornings.
May God
richly bless all of you - our prayerful supporters - as you
make it possible for us to continue ministering where the Lord was once widely
known, but is now largely forgotten!
Feeding
a few and fishing for more in the old world,
