KNOWLEDGE WITH ZEAL
Rom 10:2 For I bear
them record that they have a zeal
of God, but not according to knowledge. Bible Institute is
beginning to form into a body. When you take seven men varying in age from 67 to 22,
some saved 14 years, some 4 months; some with families and jobs and some single; some with
workable education and some dropouts from 7th grade, and try to mold them into
a platoon for the Lord; equipped and moving in the same direction, it might take some
time. In Photo # 5206 they are seen taking their first test. For some of them
this is their first test of any kind in many years, and for one
decades. The
test covered survey teaching of the Gospels and I am glad to report they all made an 85 or
above. Praise the Lord
Now, to keep them from puffing up they become zealous to
share that knowledge
in photo #5201 Daniel drives the point of the gospel into two
sinners hearts. In Photo #5202 Dorin is pushing his faith into hand and heart
In
photo #5204 Mihai jumps in to help Daniel convince these unsaved men
In photo #5209
Daniel is found again with a resistant who visited the church
In photo #5208 both
Ishtvan and Dan deal with visiting men after the AM service. These are all Bible
institute students whom the Lord is using
Finally Bro. Logan inducts Peter into the
ministry by requesting him to lead in open air prayer in Racos village in photo #5207.
2Ti 2:2
And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit
thou to faithful
men who shall be able to teach others also. A good percentage of our people participate in our street meetings.
They cant all come every time. In photo #5205 I thought I would throw
in some beauty
Mary Bethany is flanked by two sisters her age in the church. We
treated some of the young people to pizza after they all were zealous tract distributors
in a street meeting just minutes before. The sisters are named Ana Maria, on the
left and Alexandra. Spring is coming but it is
still mixed up with left over winter. Our folks are talking about a church picnic
and we are looking to schedule another baptism in the river. Groups are lining up to
come and minister with us this spring and summer. The first comes from an American
missionarys church in Dublin, Ireland. Bro. Jerome Pittman will bring 14 from
his church on their first missions trip. They are quite excited and we are equally
excited to have them come. RACOS VILLAGE CHURCH
The prospective church
building in Racos is bogged down in left-over communist bureaucratic paper work and the
purchase will be delayed for about another month
if you think you are anxious to hear
about the first service
think how eager we are. In mid-April will be our first
anniversary of the ministry in Racos village. Many of you will remember that
report where MANY dropped to their knees and were saved
photos still on the website.
SOON TO BE ON THE WEB
Back in the late 90s I made
a 15 minute video of an accordion lesson. It became a best seller (really give away
because we dont sell things
but we did support missions through the money
generated) and now we are working to make that available via our website
will keep
you posted. Looking to be transferred
permanently NORTH from the east very soon |
