Friday night English Fellowship and Bible study has finally began....an 11 year dream come true

Just 1 week ago we started a new ministry. For over 11 years we have hoped and prayed for an English ministry for the young people here, family and friends of people who have been attending our church. Many people who attend have relatives and friends who come to visit with them but can not really understand because the services are in Palauan. So after much prayer we decided in September to start meeting with a few willing people who were interested in starting this ministry with us. About 10 of us meet faithfully every Friday night from October until January. We made invitation notes to pass out to nearly 150 people and announced this through out the Christmas and New Year services. Last Friday we began Christ Community Fellowship at 730pm. As we had prayed that the Holy Spirit would speak to the hearts of people and bring them to this service we saw about 49 people show up for the first service. this week we had about 52 people. Several of them had not attended the first weeks service. Last night as Andy preached through Romans 1:1-7 and explaining the Gospel message and our need for the Savior Jesus Christ, 2 ladies accepted the Lord and 1 man rededicated his life. We are so excited about the great mix of people groups that attended. There were 6 different cultures in attendance. Some of these people had not heard a message preached like this. One lady told me (Julie) that she had never read the Bible before. She is Catholic and very interested in know God better. Pray for this young lady and the many others who have not yet received Christ or have not been discipled. May God bless you in your relationship with Him! Thank you for your prayers for this and other ministries we are involved in.
