Sunday Night Service

October 02
Sunday
2 weeks ago we took, on appearance, a huge loss to our church family. The 3 main people wanted to walk away. We pray that the Lord captures their hearts once again & brings them to repentance quickly! The first week we had a very humble congregation during our weekly services. Many people in the community were confused & then the 3 that left were telling them not to come. Well, Sunday we had a great showing, to the Lords delight. People are getting over the intimidation, and coming to church despite the resistance they are getting within the community.
Recently we are hearing from the believers that they are being threatened by beatings, even at knife for coming to church. Their friends are making them choose between them or the Lord. Most of the threats are by scared neighbors and family. They are being told that the spirits will come and kill them, bring them bad luck, and torment them if their is a Bible in their home or that these people worship Jesus. Fear had a short victory, but just this week the women started coming back!!! Praise the Lord!
Tonight the Lord had a full audience. Just as the word says, the devils came too. We had hecklers in the crowd, we were mocked, there were major distractions by a man totally out of control of his emotions(manifesting), and a man grabbed a child and ran out DURING CHURCH! The mother quickly was told by another woman & the child was recovered within seconds, praise God again! We pray that as the Word was spoken that it will shatter these hard hearts and set the captives free! Despite all these distractions there were hearts surrendered to the Lord! Take that devil!
We are so excited to report that we are finally getting a greater child showing at church. Next week will begin getting started with a fun atmosphere upstairs at the church for the children to be loved while the mothers get fed spiritually. We are praying for another translator so that their can be a ministry to the children. We are starting with showing love & leave the rest up to the Lord! I am personally very excited about this as I have had it in my heart for quite some time. Please join with us in prayer over this flock!
Also be in prayer for Mynamar!!! Our church here is to the Burmese/Mynamar people and their hearts are greatly being pulled over their loved ones back home.
