May 2024

Well, what can I say? Praise the Lord! He has opened the door and we rejoice. The efforts from UNG and also from parents have brought souls into God’s harvest. Top left (Merlin in red who obeyed last month) invited Raul to set up a study with me. Raul was careful, prepared and studious with every study we had at Chick Fil A. He visited services and the last study he asked to be immersed into Christ. Another UNG student top right, Sebastian also meeting with me at another CFA wanted to commit his life to the Lord at first of May. His 2 jobs are distracting him some already but still eager to learn.

From the local saints families. Above on left is Ben Arteaga the oldest of 2 boys while visiting a close by Spanish worship service, Bill Perkins had the honor to help Ben begin his journey to an eternity in our Savior’s service. His parents are wonderful servants. They began their journey 7 years ago. Middle bottom Jason Kean had thrill to birth his youngest 2 into Christ kingdom this month. And Danielle asked her dad (John Johnson) to immerse her into Christ.

Each of these were separate events and disconnected from the others and each choosing to commit their own lives in service to God. We are so thankful and yet understanding we must nurture all these new in Christ to maturity and help them to grow to where they can feed themselves and be ambassadors for Christ. The flock is excited and we rejoice with the heavenly host. I’ve shared in past reports about what we try to do with those new in Christ. There may be more added soon. If so it is to God’s glory as HE GIVES THE INCREASE. In Him, Ricky
