Look around. Muslims are everywhere. One out of six people on the face of the earth are Muslims. At present, thirty percent of babies being born in Europe are Muslims according to Dr. Gene Gurganus (Islam and the End Times). If things continue as they are, twenty years from now Europe as we know it will cease to exist. Very large Mosques are being built throughout Europe. Even in Chattanooga plans have been made public for a very large mosque that will easily be seen from Interstate 75.

Because you give to missions—and your partnership with BIMI is so effective for spreading the Gospel—I am writing to tell you about a very special project leading up to 9/11. On September 11, ten years ago this year, America was attacked by radical Islamic terrorists.

Leading up to this tenth anniversary, BIMI is asking you to respond in a positive way to help reach those who need the message of salvation through Christ.

What better way for your church to remember the tenth anniversary of 9/11 than to respond by having a Bible Sunday. I say, "You cannot give the Bible to the wrong person."

No excuses. For the last eleven years, BIMI has been reaching into Eurasia with thousands of Bibles and New Testaments. We are very excited about pushing forward to reach even more before Jesus comes. This plan includes distributing Bibles, training pastors, and encouraging secret churches in restricted countries. This is not pie in the sky. Our boots are on the ground already. We have contacts there today. We need for you to know this.

We really could use your help. The time is short. The cost of one Persian/Farsi language whole Bible is $7.00. A Turkish New Testament is $5.00. A Farsi New Testament is about the same. Together we can make a difference. Please designate your gift to East European/Eurasia Bible Fund 656. "You cannot give the Bible to the wrong person."

David Sterling and his children with Alexander and Galina in Siberia, Russia

By David Sterling

After Galina accepted Christ as her Saviour in October, her husband Alexander had often attended our services with her. Although Alexander attended out of pure curiosity, we knew the Lord was working when he began reading the Bible every morning. During the Russian holiday season, Alexander and Galina offered to host the Christmas fellowship dinner at their home. One of the gifts we gave Alexander for Christmas was a Halley's Bible Handbook in the Russian language. Galina told us that he immediately began reading it every morning.

Two weeks ago Alexander listened intently as we finished the last of fifty lessons in a study of the Old Testament through the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. Alexander understood that the "shadows of things to come" spoken of in Hebrews were fulfilled as Christ offered the final sacrifice "once for all." After the morning service, Alexander said there was nothing more for him to understand about his need for a Saviour. With his teary-eyed wife sitting next to him, Alexander asked Jesus Christ to be his Saviour.

As he said "Amen," everyone present in the service rejoiced. Galina immediately told Alexander how she had heard our youngest son, Timothy, pray for him during a Wednesday evening service (two months earlier) just before Alexander was to have surgery. Little Timothy prayed, "Lord, please do not let Alexander die until after he gets saved." Alexander smiled and a tear came to his eye.

As we started down the stairs, the ladies were like school girls who had a secret to tell. About halfway down the stairs, Ryan ran up to Alexander and asked him if he had repented. When Alexander replied "Yes," both boys grabbed onto him and hugged him.

There have been times we wondered if we would ever see a man like Alexander accept Christ. At sixty-eight years young, Alexander has out-lived the average Russian male by almost fifteen years. To show how the Lord works in strange ways, Alexander's granddaughter who graduated from high school two years ago was one of the English students whom we taught years ago in the city of Krasnoyarsk.

In the years we have been here in Russia, the various ministries God has allowed us to be a part of continue to open doors for us in seeing more souls come to Christ.

BY Tim Stephens (From Tim Tyler, BIMI missionary in Romania)

We worked today.
Ordinary jobs were accomplished because of you.
We composed lessons and letters on a computer you bought for us.
Necessary errands were run in a dependable vehicle you purchased.
Our children were schooled from books you paid for.
We have lights, water and a home
Because you gave.

We relaxed today.
An outing you provided refreshed our family.
We turned aside from the routine and enjoyed a meal out.
Thank you.
We laughed and played together and had a restful time
Because you gave.

We worshipped today.
Your sacrifice paid for believers to travel to church.
They gathered in a building that you rented and remodeled.
They read from the Bibles you bought
And sat in chairs you donated so they might hear God's Word.
They praised their Savior from songbooks in their native tongue
Because you gave.

Someone was saved today.
You stood with us as we proclaimed to him the everlasting Gospel.
A disciple whom you helped us train led him to Jesus.
He will follow his Lord in a baptismal that you helped purchase.
He will grow in grace and in the knowledge of Christ
And his life will be forever changed
Because you gave.

BIMI missionary Bob Huffman went to be with the Lord, December 3, 2010. Bob and his wife Gail are shown at the right with Brant Holladay, who presented them with a plaque in June, 2010, for their 43 years of outstanding service for the Lord in France. Totally immersed in the French culture, the Huffmans were used of God in the Paris area. Through the years they won souls to Christ, eventually needing a new building which they purchased and renovated. Now the church has called a national pastor and the ministry goes on through the Christians they have trained to take over the teaching and other responsibilities. Gail is still serving in their church with ladies ministries and other outreach opportunities.

BIMI missionary Tom Gentry and his wife Marguerite joined the mission in 1991, serving the Lord in Romania for eighteen years. Tom was a church planter but he will best be remembered for his very large summer camp ministries in Romania and neighboring Moldova. Between 2,000 to 4,000 kids annually attend his Hope for the Future camps. Thousands were saved and today many are serving in the Lord's work. Eventually some converts were sent from Romania to do mission work in the small African country called Malawi under the banner of Hope for the Future. In fact, Tom and Marguerite's own daughter and husband are missionaries working in Malawi today.

Tom Gentry made his final mission trip after a long bout with cancer. He left Marguerite and his seven children to be with his Lord on the afternoon of March 10, 2011. Please pray for Marguerite as she will also be traveling back to Romania to help where she can.

We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give. - Sir Winston Churchill

Dr. Francisco (Paco) Platillero went to be with the Lord on March 17, 2011.

Paco was born October 4, 1923, in Alicante, Spain. Former BIMI missionary to Spain Clayton Livengood was instrumental in leading Paco's father to Christ. Paco and his wife Nona spent their lives ministering to others. They joined BIMI in 1974 serving as missionaries to Spain. Later Paco pastored several churches in South Florida. He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Nona, and their six children. His desire was to have a "passion for God and compassion for people."

Darrell Johnson, 18 years a BIMI missionary in Poland

The Gospel We Preach by Oswald J. Smith, with the Gospel of John and the Book of Romans in the back, has been printed and is being distributed now here in Poland.

The photo shows the new booklets, plus Dr. Smith's original in English and Polish. It is already proving to be an effective tool for evangelization here in Poland. Several fundamental Baptist missionaries will be using these books for evangelism in their cities. The books will be given to people in one-on-one evangelism, but a special tract will be distributed that has a "coupon" on the back page offering the book free to anyone who writes to ask for it.

During a mission conference that I was conducting in the church where I pastored in 1967, the Lord called me to the mission field. We joined BIMI that year as missionaries to Okinawa, Japan. We started the first military church for BIMI during the Viet Nam War. The church is still going strong, reaching hundreds of U.S. military each year.

In 1974, while we were on furlough, Dr. Tom Freeney, BIMI's General Director, approached me about focusing on Europe. His plan was to divide the responsibility of leadership for different fields among veteran missionaries. He asked if I would serve as Director for Europe.

Even though I felt my work in Okinawa, Japan, was over, I wasn't sure what I was to do. Dr. Freeney took several veteran missionaries and me to visit Europe in 1974. After prayer and counsel, I accepted the position as the first European Director for BIMI and served there for five years. When we returned to the ministry of planting churches, Dr. James Ray was appointed in my place.

For the past ten years, Marlyn and I have been serving as Chaplain in an Assisted Living Facility where the average age of the residents is 85.5 years old. The Lord has given us this wonderful opportunity to reach these elderly people, many of whom have never had a clear presentation of the Gospel. Through our various services we have seen over 200 souls won to Christ.

Graham Forbes, BIMI missionary in Scotland

After searching for a way into our community to engage people, God allowed us to open our new tea room/bookshop on the high street in our village. This has given us fantastic opportunities to meet people and share Christ with them: all kinds of people from all walks of life, from atheists to those who are under the darkness of religion. There are many lonely people that live around us. Many of these people who come to our tea room will not walk into a church service from fear of being looked down upon. But we do rejoice that through our outreach we are beginning to minister to many of these who need the Lord.

Kathy is a woman who needs us; we spend time with her and pray for her. In her eighties with no family or person to care for her, she wears house slippers for shoes with the ends cut open for her toes to stick through. She comes in and chats, drinks some tea, and talks to us as if we are the only people on earth. Nobody notices her, yet God has brought this woman to us to tell her of a God who loves her.

Some of the people who come are atheists, but I tell them God doesn't believe in atheists. Pray with us as we seek to share Christ with them. Through our outreach ministry in the tea shop, we want the people of the area to see our faith is a working faith.

Marsha Devers, BIMI Missionary in Scotland with her husband Arvin and daughter Lea.

In the small ex-mining village of Cardenden, Scotland, we began having Bible studies in May, 2010. The Baptist Church and the Brethren Hall had closed down ten years previously. At our first Monday night Bible study, Agnes showed up. She had been saved and baptized during the 70's and was an active member of the closed Baptist church. Agnes was our first charter member and has been very loyal helping us in our Sunday School.

Mary was in Spain when we started our Sunday services. She told someone she "wanted to attend the new Baptist church" when she returned and she did. Known in the community for her involvement with senior citizen and disability groups, Mary has been awarded the "Good Neighbor Award" by the Scottish Parliament. Nearly every week she makes baked goods for our Sunday School. Recently Mary told Arvin she was ready to ask Jesus into her heart and she did.

Working with Mary in the same community groups is her friend Ann. Recently widowed, Ann has shown interest in spiritual matters and regularly attends our services. When Arvin carefully counseled her, she said she had already trusted Christ and wanted to be baptized.

When Lynsey, a younger woman with three small children, received one of our notices through her door about Sunday School, she and her little girls began attending our services. She has always listened attentively and, after taking our home Bible study courses, Lynsey asked the Lord to save her. Even though she is a busy young mother, she gladly helps in our Sunday School.

Last Sunday, Lynsey, Mary, and Ann were baptized by Arvin at another missionary church about fifteen miles from us, since we do not have our own baptismal pool. It was a beautiful service. Many, many, thanks to everyone who prays and gives to missionaries. We could not do this work without your help.

(Lisa Thatcher, missionary to Ireland with her husband Don and their children.)

Two girls from India who have been attending our youth group for two years are moving back to their Homeland with their parents. We had a "going away" party for them and used it as an outreach.

Eight girls came to share our "cupcake" party which was the theme for the day--even in the Gospel lesson that Lisa shared with the girls. We made a cupcakethemed bookmark with Scripture on it so that everyone would have a memento from the party. The Lord used this simple outreach to encourage the girls to live for Christ here and in India. As an added blessing, we were so surprised when the girls along with their parents came to our morning service.

What role do you play in fulfilling the Great Commission? Growing up on a farm in Indiana, I learned early in life the value of cooperation. It was normal for neighbors to work together, especially at planting and harvest time. Even if one man could have done the planting, without the Lord sending the rain and sunshine there would never have been a harvest.

As a Hoosier (native of Indiana), I grew up with a strong tradition of BASKETBALL!

Most people know that Indiana is the inner sanctum for true basketball lovers. The game of basketball can teach a person much about cooperation. The high school I attended was very small. Since there were no divisions in high school ball at that time, we had to compete against some very large "big city" schools. The bigger the school, the larger the talent pool of players. We seldom went beyond our sectional, and never beyond our regional competition...UNTIL...the year I was a senior.

Now that was a year for the record books. Our little high school team went all the way to the FINAL FOUR. How did we do it? COOPERATION! TEAMWORK! Many times in the past our team had one outstanding player, but the truth is that basketball is not just a one player sport! No matter how good your one player is, eventually you will play a team with five good players. We went to the Final Four because that year we had at least five excellent players that understood the concept of working together! No superstars—a TEAM!

To successfully fulfill the Great Commission, we absolutely must work together. Who are the TEAM players?

FIRST, there is the missionary, a person called of God (Acts 13:2). Our Lord knows who will fit in a particular place and ministry. Missionaries are not any different from other Christian workers, except their calling often means traveling to distant places and different cultures and/or languages. They are not superstars; they are members of the team.

SECOND, there is the local church which recognizes the call of God in the missionary's life. This sending church is the missionary's primary authority. Since it is rare for one church to completely meet the financial needs of a missionary, he solicits support from several churches and is accountable to each of these supporters.

THIRD, the Mission Agency can aid the missionary and his sending church.

FOURTH, BIMI Directors offer counsel and practical assistance from someone who knows the demands of the mission field. The Directors know firsthand what it is like to live in a different culture, to learn a foreign language, to deal with foreign bureaucracies, to be dependent on the finances sent by the Lord, to adapt to the complexities of ministering in a foreign environment. Since most pastors do not have the time to visit each mission field, the Field Directors regularly visit their missionaries to encourage them in their ministries.

FIFTH, there is the national. Our Lord has some soul in mind when He calls a missionary. All the training, preparation, fund raising, and organization is geared toward this—reaching people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Finally, there is the Lord of the Harvest. Just as in farming, without the Lord's blessings we can do nothing (Jn. 15:5). We are privileged to be able to labor with God (1Cor. 3:9) in this great work. But we must remember the successful accomplishment of the Great Commission doesn't need superstars—just people who know the value of cooperation and teamwork!

---

This Team player, the Mission Agency, can aid the missionary and his sending church in:

1. Giving assistance to the missionary in contacting churches and pastors for deputation through a database of thousands of contacts.

2. Providing regular correspondence to supporting churches through the prayer letter service, websites, etc.

3. Offering health and emergency evacuation insurance for the missionary and the family, which a local church could not afford to do.

4. Submitting a letter of guarantee to the government of foreign countries to assist with missionary visas.

5. Receipting all donors and helping with international money transfers.

6. Assisting in legal matters, purchase of property, automobile accidents, crisis situations.

7. Making available counsel and practical assistance in the actual process of church planting.

Judy Van Sant, Ukraine

Two weeks ago we were downtown and it had started snowing and sleeting. We walked around town getting the supplies we needed...holding on to each other...slipping and sliding.

We had problems getting home with many accidents on the road. Our car almost did not make it up our hill. When I walked into the house, there was a message on our computer that one of our friends woke up at 2:00 in the morning (Iowa time) and felt a strong urge to pray for us. She wanted to know if we were okay. Praise the Lord... we were okay and probably because she was praying! Prayer is a mighty tool that we depend upon daily.

Do you know what happened on that day
When burdened for souls you tried to pray?
Did you think you failed to reach God's throne
When your lips were dumb,
your prayer a groan?

Over the sea in a faraway land,
A sower sowed with a faltering hand.
But, lo, in that hour refreshing came,
God's servant found new strength again.

And souls long held in the grip of sin
Turned from despair to new life in Him.
Away from their bondage they turned to God
And found their peace through Jesus' blood.

Your faith had touched God's mighty hand;
He answered your prayers for a faraway land.

AUSTRIA

Todd and Kim Lapato. A Bavarian man we have been witnessing to was recently saved. I meet with him often and he is really growing in the Lord. During the World Cup, we were able to pass out hundreds of Gospel tracts to people from all over the world. We had 11 new guests at our German service.

ENGLAND

Joshua Booth Family. Joshua and Melissa Booth have arrived in England to begin their ministry in the Congleton area. Please pray for them.

Reta Burns and Marcia Kittleson. Jerry and his wife, Karen, attend our coffee mornings. We thought we had offended them because we had not seen them for about 6 weeks. We learned Jerry has been diagnosed with cancer that is untreatable. Please pray for Jerry and Karen that they will be open to the Gospel.

Ferrell Kearney Family. Barbara and I have been invited by a missionary to "fill in" for him at his church in Cornwall. We will be there for four months.

James Mansfield Family. New BIMI missionaries to Liverpool, England. On our grand opening Sunday of Amazing Grace Baptist Church, we had twenty-six people in attendance. When I visited in the home of one of the ladies who came, she explained she couldn't get my sermon out of her mind. I was able to take my Bible and lead her to the Lord.

Jack Moorman Family. The highlight of our Easter weekend (we have Good Friday and Easter Monday) was on Easter Monday. We went to the Globe Shakespeare Theatre on London's South Bank where in commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the KJV Bible, they had been reciting the entire Bible during the previous week. Every day for six hours a day they had men and women giving out every single word from Genesis to Revelation. We went on Easter Monday and heard them do Galatians to Revelation. It was amazing and such a blessing. It filled our hearts with gladness to be in a public place where God's Word was so honoured.

Glenn Palmer Family. Our new building has been an encouragement to us, with several visitors attending. We were blessed to have Enie Hubbard, age 85, join our church recently.

Glenn Pizor Family. After reading Scripture regarding the birth of Christ to our soccer lads, Car (26-years-old) said, "Pastor, I have never heard that before!" These are the young people that we are trying to reach.

Mickey Schrimshire Family. We are continuing our systematic "tracting" of every home in Congleton to help establish the church plant here. Recently we had four first-time visitors who received a tract. Two men, a lady, and several children have received Christ at our church.

Bill and Debra Smith. The church is doing well. I baptized a lady recently and a family of five has expressed an interest in joining us.

Harry Stanley Family. For the last year I have been requesting prayer for 36-year-old Harry who has been attending our church and bringing his family from over an hour away. Just a few weeks ago, Harry trusted the Lord as his Savior.

ESTONIA

Rob Willoughby Family. Our first Estonian service was February 6. Each week I am gaining confidence to share the Gospel in Estonian. My language teacher is growing in the Lord and brought her husband, who is not a believer. Since I have begun praying in Estonian in my personal daily devotions, my use of the language has improved.

Ron Winkler Family. How exciting to see Vladimir come each week with his Bible. Please pray that the truth of God's Word will open his eyes to his need for a Savior.

FRANCE

Carey Abbett Family. Thirteen children accepted Christ at our family camp. One of them, Alexy (18-year-old boy), was very hostile to the Gospel but was saved two days before the end of camp. Also, what a joy to recently baptize our daughter Juliana!

Danny Flowers Family. The Flowers family is back in France after leaving the Ivory Coast during political turmoil. God has graciously allowed them to find a place to live in Givet, where they served before going to Ivory Coast. They are already starting home Bible studies and have led two to Christ.

Gail Huffman. (Since her husband, Bob, went to be with the Lord, Gail has been invited to help in the church they founded in Paris.) The church here in Argenteuil has asked me to continue helping with visits, children's work, and counseling the ladies. A young woman in our church has asked me to have a Bible study with her.

GERMANY

Dan Dubbe Family. We have served the Lord in Germany since 1991. At our church business meeting, two new missionaries (one going to Lithuania and the other to Malawi) were taken on for support.

Walter Hornung Family. Andrea, a 40-year old lady who was dying with cancer, accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior five days before the Lord took her home. There were about 120 people at the funeral who heard the news of salvation.

Rodney Kidd Family. We rejoice that two young people were baptized. Their testimonies were very encouraging. Rod had the joy of leading a man to Christ with whom he had been reading in the Gospel of John for over a year.

HUNGARY

Marc Patton Family. A teenage girl gave her testimony and became a member of our church. The same Sunday, a young couple, who had been attending for about a year, expressed their desire to join also. They and another lady gave their testimonies. It has been exciting to have people join the church.

MALTA

A NEW FIELD - Anson Van de Kemp Family. Anson, Allison, and their children have arrived in Malta to begin a church plant in a new field for BIMI. Please pray for the Van de Kemp family.

MOLDOVA

David Gross Family. Reaching our one-year anniversary here in Moldova, we had prayed to see our first person to believe in Christ as Savior. That person is our daughter, Abby. What a joy it was to hear her call on Christ for salvation!

Keith Herndon Family. The Bible school is going well with 20-30 students attending on a regular basis. This is our 5th year. Praise the Lord, we had three saved in gypsy work at Medias (Satu Mare).

NORTHERN IRELAND

Ed Bissett Family. Continue to pray for David, an 82-year-old man who has been attending our church and is open to the Gospel. The Lord has allowed me to have a good time of witnessing with him.

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND

Dan Canavan Family. Young Hee, who was saved two years ago, was recently diagnosed with cancer. She and her daughters prayed every night for her unsaved husband David who never came to church. After her diagnosis, David has started coming. Please pray for his salvation.

Stephen Finley Family. We are very excited to report that Peter, whose parents are members of our church, has now professed his faith in Christ. During our revival, Samuel and his wife Georgietta and their 8 children visited. Georgietta and some of her children have been coming almost every Sunday since then.

Don Thatcher Family. For two years now we have had two teen Indian girls who are sisters come out for our youth services but only attended regular services twice. We were so surprised when the girls along with their parents came to our morning service.

Bob Zemeski Family. With the help of our people, we were able to pass out a total of 6,000 Gospel leaflets. We received two favorable phone calls from two people saying they will visit our services because they received literature. Eamonn is a man who came because of the leaflets. He gave his testimony of salvation and will be baptized.

ROMANIA

Tom Gentry Family. BIMI missionary Tom Gentry went to be with the Lord March 10, 2011. Please pray for his wife Marguerite and family. Tom's work, Hope for the Future, will carry on under capable leadership there in Romania.

Ed Hembree Family (Assistant European Director). We believe we have a man to head up the Independent Baptist College of Romania. Plans are being made to begin the European classes in 2012.

Tim Tyler Family. Cristi, a man who has been enslaved to alcohol, started visiting our church with his parents. Recently he admitted he needed help and set up an appointment with me. He got saved! He is already showing a real change and has been attending church with his parents.

RUSSIA

Duane Hearron Family. The work in our city church is going well. Irena and her husband continue to come. Also, Irina's mother from a neighboring village takes the bus to our services.

Don Ossewaarde Family. We have two new visitors, Katya and Sveta, coming regularly to our English Bible Study. Ruth and I were invited to meet with high school students at a private English School. We helped them to prepare for exams and were able to give them New Testaments and Gospel tracts.

David Sterling Family. Since Sveta has begun faithfully attending services, she has been burdened about her family and friends' need for salvation. Her faithfulness is such a blessing since Sveta has a crippled leg and walks to the services or rides her daughter's bicycle (when we can't convince her to ride with us). She came all through the winter months faithfully and insisted on walking even when the temperatures were -30 degrees outside. Please pray for her family.

Adam Young Family. Nina and Lydmilla had been discipling with us for about 8 months before they called and said they would not be coming any more. We were shocked, but we did keep in touch with them. Recently, Nina called to say that her 28-year-old son, who had earlier made a profession of faith, had passed away. I preached Sasha's funeral and two of his unsaved co-workers heard the Gospel.

SCOTLAND

Arvin Devers Family. Two of the teenagers from our Sunday School were saved recently. They have been very faithful and ask good questions each week.

Lea Devers. We are teaching the children who come to Sunday School the books of the Bible and some of them almost have them memorized. Two teenagers were saved recently in our Sunday School.

Graham Forbes Family. New people have been coming along and we have been spending time with them, teaching and supporting them. Graham and Linda, with their family, drive up from Inverness for our services. Steven and Eve are another couple that we are seeking to help to understand the Bible.

Dennis Snelson Family. Dennis was ministering in the square in Johnstone where he met Robert who had recently lost his job. If Robert had not lost his job, he would not have been in the square and nor have heard the pointed explanation about going to heaven. After a ten minute discussion, Robert realized that he cannot get to heaven by being good. Pray for Robert's salvation.

SPAIN

Julio Velasquez family. We have finished distributing the Gospel DVDs to every home in Parla (38,883). Two couples who came to the church because of the DVDs have been saved!

UKRAINE

Robert Fuller. The deaf church in Yevpatoria is doing well. It was started almost two years ago by Pastor Slava Kratko and Robert. Mary is working on learning the Russian sign language. Pray for the Fullers - deaf missionaries serving the Lord with the deaf in Ukraine.

Tony Hess Family. We are thrilled to see what God has done in our new church plant. On Sunday morning, we are having a steady crowd of 20 in attendance, with 13 on Wednesday evenings. In our nursing home ministry, Sofia and Marfa both trusted Christ as Savior. Two weeks later, Marfa went Home to be with the Lord.

Matthew Hudson Family. We passed out a list of 14 new ministries and areas of service for our people to get involved in. It is very encouraging to see the enthusiasm and willing spirit amongst our people.

Polly Irvin. Recently we honored our elderly ladies and I made gifts for them. I have the opportunity to teach for another ladies meeting. Praise the Lord for the privilege of serving Him.

John Spillman Family. Our Bible Institute is back in session. We praise the Lord for the four students that have been faithful from the beginning. Pray for God's leading and victory in the lives of these men.

Bob Van Sant Family. Our International Ladies Day brought 88 ladies to our banquet. Also, two young teen girls from Azerbaijan came to our church last week. They both came forward at the invitation and accepted Christ as their Savior.
