USA Church Plants In Progress

Coy & Nancy Shaw — Astoria, NY — (Portuguese) — One of our men, Egnaldo, had been witnessing to one of his employees and inviting him to church. Silvestre was interested in what Egnaldo told him and began coming to church where he listened to the Bible lessons and messages with great interest. In order to have a better opportunity to talk with Silvestre we invited him along with Egnaldo and family to our home for dinner. After dinner I was able to lead Silvestre to accept Jesus as his Lord and Saviour. AMEN! Pray for Silvestre to grow in the Lord.

Bill & Lisa Behrends — Rapid City, SD — Summer brought numerous visitors to our church and most folks from our local area. James, a young freshman at School of Mines & Technology and from Oklahoma is attending faithfully every Sunday. He knows the Lord and is anxious to get actively involved in our church. A lady, Karen is visiting us also and been faithful & also knows the Lord. Two families have had an interest in joining our church. Pray for all of the above to become faithful and serve the Lord with us.

Rick & Shannon Dove (Hispanic) — Monroe, NC — We are encouraged with our teens in the church. Angel & Rebekah continue to work with us in our teen ministry. They are doing a good job as they continue to train for the ministry. Two of our teens, Eliel & Liz have both been baptized and continuing to grow in the Lord. Marcos is another young man in our youth group from Guatemala & was saved in our church. He is facing many temptations but is trying to stay right – please pray for him. We have seen growth in the church over the last couple of months. We had an Argentinean couple visiting for quite sometime – they came from California to NC and were told about our church from some friends of theirs.
