Hope you are well, thank you for praying for us. Our hearts are full of praises and thanksgivings to the Lord. Praise Him for what He is doing in here in central Illinois!

In addition to tabling at Sam’s Club and Bradley University, we had two Bible studies this past Wednesday and Thursday. The fellowship on John 19 was very positive and encouraging. Around six students, including one new one came. The majority of the time, it was the students taking the initiative to share their enjoyment, even to shepherd and invite others to the Bible studies. We could foresee a core group of students slowly being formed at Bradley University. Hallelujah!

While at Sam’s Club, we met many people of various backgrounds with different stories; however, many of them were open to receive a new Recovery Version Bible. We hope that they would want to meet with us for further fellowship in the Lord.

Prayer Burdens:

• Please pray for this afternoon’s door-knocking
• The students that we are connected would take the next step in the church life, that there would be a solid home meeting formed and they would come to the church meetings
• There would be more male contacts
• More people in the community (young couples) would be added to the church
• Adequate follow-up and shepherding of these new ones/contacts
