Thank you, Partners, for helping us bring the light of the full gospel to Europe. Look at what God is doing!

Evangelism highlight:

“Does [he] not leave the ninety-nine… and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?” – Jesus Christ in Luke 15:4

Michel (name changed) is a businessman that we have worked with for a long time. He was raised Muslim, but lives a nonreligious life. His mother has been institutionalized with schizophrenia. Our team members (including you through your prayers and giving) and I have ministered to him for years, encouraging him during his divorce and praying for healing after a motorcycle accident. This year when I had an opportunity to meet with him, I wondered if it was even worth it. At times in the past he has been passionately opposed to the gospel.
This time was different! He asked many questions and received the Bible’s answers. He told me, “Rich, you have changed. The things you are saying make sense now!” (Perhaps it is he that has changed…) He even told me that we should plant a church together in his hometown.
How the Lord loves these! We will follow Him and patiently endure to see gospel fruit!

Evangelism: Go ye and share the gospel!

Evangelism highlight:

“Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in…”
 – Our Lord Jesus in a parable in Luke 14:23

Ernie (name changed) is an unsaved businessman. He was raised Mormon, but has not practiced any religion for decades. He has a hunger for truth and community. Over the years, we have had long discussions with him about many things, including the gospel and a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus. Again, I wondered if I should bother connecting with him, since he never seemed truly interested.
I decided to go see him. My heart broke as he shared the following (to my best recollection): “The last time you were here, you left me your card and some literature. I knew that I had to be in agreement with my wife, so I took it to her and asked her what she thought. She said, ‘Oh you used to be a Mormon and you are still a Mormon. You need to stop all of this ridiculous stuff.’ So I just let it go.” He is more open than he seems! He hungers for eternal truth! We will let the Lord continue to use us to love him no matter the cost.
