ENCOURAGING EXPERIENCES ...

We wanted to let you know about God's protection on my husband Glenn (Pizor) today, July 7, the day of the London bombings. He was supposed to go to London today to attend a pastors' meeting at the Metropolitan Tabernacle. But because of the BIMI meeting in Prague, he decided at the last minute that he could not justify the time away so soon. If Glenn had gone, he would have been right in the middle of the bombing. Praise God for His guidance and Glenn's sensitivity to His guidance.

My family and I have been in Prague, Czech Republic, for almost six months now. We have been busy studying the language and getting acquainted with our neighbors. Each time we get together with our neighbors, it usually is centered around FOOD! Our neighbors Michael and Klada are in their early twenties and speak little English. When we are together, we all have dictionaries at our fingertips.

We are teaching Jadon (our two-year-old) how to pray before we eat, so we pray even when we are with our neighbors. They would just look at us and go on eating. Recently we were invited to their home and our little family was ready to pray. Michael said, "SAM!" and then lifted his c.phped hands to invite Sam to pray over the food! Since our ability to speak the language is very limited, we have been praying that the Lord will help us to be a witness to the Czechs by how we live our daily lives. For now, Sam is learning to pray a mealtime prayer in CZECH!

The atmosphere here at Bicester Baptist Church is one of excitement. We just had our First Annual Missions Conference with an average attendance of forty-two. Since this was a new experience, leading up to the conference there was great apprehension about the cost of the conference as well as the need to house and feed the missionaries. But God worked in hearts and the decision was made to move forward. The church voted to take on the support of our two missionary families at $100 a month! There were many tears when it came time for the missionaries to leave.

During our outreach, a contact was made with a young man named Alec. He went home and told his mom about this meeting. Alec seemed to be searching for the truth, having been brought up as a Catholic. It was two months later the tract "Are You Certain" was put out in the very area where Alec's mom Josie lives. A few days later, Josie called us and said she was "not certain at all." After we spent two hours with Josie, showing her God's Word, she asked the Lord to save her and has been coming to church since that time. Alec has since inquired about the decision his mom has made.

A man came to our church who spoke very little Romanian, but nevertheless he responded to the invitation for salvation and made a public profession. I went to his home to speak to him (he speaks mainly Hungarian) and found out he was still very confused. I witnessed to him for several hours, going very slowly over and over the doctrine of salvation. Finally, he told me that he was sure he was going to Hell because he had never trusted Jesus, and only Jesus, for salvation. He had thought that works were still a part of salvation.

He prayed and as soon as he said, "Amen," he sat back, breathed deeply, smiled, and said..."Wow! It was like a boulder was just lifted off my chest; I feel so free." I baptized him the next service and he has been faithful to church ever since.
