January 2025
Greetings! “Athbhliain faoi mhaise daoibh” (Ah-vleen fwee wash-eh deev). That is Irish for Happy New Year everyone!Nita and I are starting our 31st year of Gospel ministry here in Ireland, and we have the Lord Jesus and you all to thank!
Two saved! Two young men were wondrously saved in December!A young man from China named Jin, and another young man named Tobias. Both responded to recent Gospel preaching and some intensive witnessing over the past few months! The Gospel still works! And there are more to win!
Christmas Carolling. The first evangelistic thing we did during Christmas wassing and gave away Gospel tracts in in a major Shopping Centre. 50 of us from our church reminded a busy Saturday crowd of the greatest Gift ever given – Jesus! We had a blast, and were very well received!
Mission-Trip to the Netherlands. Stewart Gragg and I took 6 young men from our church to the Netherlands on their first Mission’s Trip to help out another church there near Amsterdam. We spent 4 days with Missionary Eric Kreh and his people. It rained a lot but we got out a thousand Gospel tracts in the area around the church there. And when we went into downtown Amsterdam, a group of us sang with people from the church there to the thousands passing around us, and several of us preached our testimony and the Gospel to those same thousands! It was a tremendous experience for our young men, who will never be the same! They learned a lot!
Nita and I will be back in the States for two months, from May through June. So, we would appreciate your prayers for our safety as we briefly travel many miles to report to some churches that we have not been with in more than 10 years!
Please also continue to Pray for… 1) For the many new believers to grow now that they are saved! 2) Pray for us to find and purchase a bigger building for us to meet in! And 3) pray for God’s help in everything we do. May we all have a fruitful new year!
I am glad to serve the Lord Jesus with you!
