Dear beloved in Christ; MARANATHA!!! The Lord is coming and He is coming soon! As we see the world today we are sure that our beloved God is coming back again for us. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for the King of Peace to establish His throne there. New visitors and contacts. In our July prayer letter I share how we were receiving more visitor than ever before, well we have seen this month more people coming to our meetings, and that is an answer to prayer.

Just a beat of courtesy Just a beat of courtesy does not look like much, or something important in our work of evangelism… may be is not even a thing to share in our prayer letters, but more and more I am realizing than before being able to present the Gospel, I just have to show a beat of courtesy. I came back from a busy day and as I parked my car my neighbor was cleaning up the yard. He has cut a lot of grass and he was quite overwhelmed by the work. I stop and helped him for a while picking up the leaves and grass and put it in a bag… nothing special, just courtesy but that developed into a conversation about our Christian live. Sunday evening we were returning from a walk after the evening service. We stop to chat with a old lady from our neighborhood, she had broken a leg and had a cast in her leg. She was waiting sited in a car a she was waiting for her daughter to call for help as she needed to go to her apartment in the second floor, without an elevator… I offered mys
