2024 is already off to a good start! By the end of last year, I had several people asking me about becoming members. We had just finished a new membership class in July and August, but they had missed it and were wanting to join, so I started another class on the first afternoon in January. In these classes we discuss the benefits and responsibilities of being a church member. We also look at our philosophy of ministry, our history, and doctrinal statement. I encourage people, whom I suspect are unbelievers, to join this class just to learn what our church is all about and what it is that we believe as Christians. In the previous cycle of the class, there was one young man who I was quite certain was not saved at the beginning of the class. By the end, however, he had called upon the Lord Jesus Christ. He has since been baptized, become a member of our church, and started sharing the Gospel with his family and co-workers. As in that July/August class, there is at least one in this present class whom I suspect does not yet know the Lord. Please pray that God will open this person’s eyes and heart as we explain the basic teachings of the Bible!
As always, we appreciate your prayers and faithful support. Without Him we can do nothing!
