Greetings in Christ from
Iglesia Hispana Evangelica de Santidad and the Watson's. Let us update you
on what the Lord is doing in Dalton. We are watching and praying with
fasting and much work. The church mission work is growing to the point
where a large enclosed back porch (12 X 25 feet) is being completely
remodeled to provide us with a large classroom. Our English class has
twelve or more regulars on Monday and the Children’s class has around the
same number.
We are anxious for God to
increase our faith and the Holy Spirit’s presence. We’ve received some
wonderful answers to prayer:
-
The Roy Vargas family
made a special request about his job and citizenship. God has intervened
in both areas. We have seen spiritual growth in the Vargas Family
-
A new lady requested
prayer for herself and for her sister to find jobs. Both of them were
hired the next week on the same day. I think this was a shocking answer
to prayer for them. They had never seen God move in this way before
Karen and Sis. Beagan have
put a lot of work into the Easter season with songs, stories, and an egg
hunt with lots of prizes (many of which were donated).
Theresa
is a new lady in our English class who attends with her two sons and a
niece. She wanted her sons to participate in the Easter Egg Hunt with the
other children, but when asked to have them bring back a plastic egg filled
with something about the Easter story, she said she had never heard the
Easter story. She said she only knew about bunnies. For Easter, Karen gave
her a Spanish/English Bible, and we marked Luke chapters 23-24 for her to
read. Theresa brought her Bible back to the next class for us to put our
names in it and asked us to tell her where to read. Please help us pray for
this lady who is hungry to know God.
The
English class visited the children’s program where they heard Becky Eversole
give a very exciting, simple version of the Easter story while Roy
interpreted. Afterward Tim Eversole gave a simple message which also was
interpreted. For the Easter program we had record attendance of 43
including a new family with six children. The mother and father want to
attend the English classes and let the children attend the kids’ club.
A neighbor visits every day
while the room is being remodeled. He and his wife both have cancer. This
man outwardly appears hard and gruff. I asked him to let me pray for them
and he said, “Okay.” God came in a wonderful way. When I finished praying,
C.L. (his preferred name) wiped his tears, put on his cap, and left. He
comes back every time he sees our truck. Please put him and his wife on
your prayer list.
We appreciate the help we
have received from:
·
Bro. and Sis. Bill Beagan – help with the children, crafts,
clean-up, etc.
·
Bro. Ralph Raley – remodeling
·
Bro. Joe Stewart – remodeling
·
Bro. and Sis. Tim Eversole – Easter program
·
Bro. Carson Scarbrough – labor and discount price for
sheetrock for remodeling
Thanks for several who sent
in offerings and various donations for the mission. Just to mention a few:
 | Bro. Charles Thomas for
a steel outside door complete with frame |
| Quoc and Joy Nguyen for a white
board with markers, floor tile, mirrors, gifts for the egg hunt and
refreshment |
| Financial contributions from several
others |
| Jeannie Hill - floor
tile |
Some things to pray about:
| The Holy Spirit moving
among our Spanish friends. |
| The regular workers
| The Vargas Family |
| Sis. Beagan |
| The Watson's |
|
| Regular Sunday services
to begin in mid to late summer (many have indicated they will attend when
we begin services) |
| A Spanish pastor and
family |
| The financial load is
heavy, but every need has been supplied (praise the Lord for this) |
| The Watson's to become
fluent in Spanish (this will take a lot of faith – ha) |
