Ministry Update

God has opened up many doors of ministry for us in many preaching opportunities this year. Since our last update, we have ministered in GA, OH, IN, and LA, in addition to being involved at Bible Conference at Ambassador Baptist College in Lattimore NC. God has blessed during this time with a full schedule of meetings.

Right now, I am alone (without my family) in Brooklyn, NY, preaching at the Bay Ridge Baptist Church. God is doing a work here, particularly among the church people. I am bewildered at the number of problems that an urban ministry confronts, but I am even more impressed by the fact that the Bible has the answers to every problem of mankind. As we close the meeting out in the last two nights, I would ask that you pray for Matthew and his wife. Matthew showed up in church for the first time last night and raised his hand for salvation. He comes from a Catholic background and has been searching for a long time for a church. He left the Catholic church because he found the people unfriendly, even though he had grown up with them. By contrast, he was overwhelmed with the friendly greeting he received by Pastor Jason Walker's church people. He also expressed gratitude to me, affirming that my message "really spoke" to him. He raised his hand for salvation during the invitation, but explained to me afterward that he did not come forward because it was his first time and he was in a totally new place. He plans to return on Friday with his wife. Please pray for their salvation.

This meeting closes on Friday and Saturday finds me on a plane to Cincinnati, from which I will then travel to Laurel, IN. The folks at Laurel really love our ministry and have worked extra hard to prepare for this meeting. Please pray especially for Sunday's service that God will save many people who have been invited to come.

My book is finally ready to purchase. There are two ways that you can get the book: first, you wait until I am preaching in your area and buy it from the table at the back after the service; and second, you can purchase it off Amazon.com. The first option is cheaper, but takes longer; the second is quicker, but more expensive. If you choose the second option, click here .

Thank you so much for your continued prayers for our ministry. These are exciting days to serve Christ.

Paul
