On Lord’s Day, we came to Newport News, and have been enjoying a house-to-house church life. We’re in the homes for dinners in various groups, and the fellowship has been so sweet and wonderful.

We heard many of the testimonies of the saints in this area, and we’re witnessing the Lord’s fine and detailed operation in each one’s life. In one home, after a local sister shared her testimony, she said, “I’ve never quite opened up my testimony so much quite like this before.” We prayed for the Lord to gain her husband to work out the way for her to go to FTT-MA. Before we left, she also told us, “When I see young saints, I think I need to shepherd them. But tonight, you all shepherded me.” The shepherding and encouragement in the Body through the blending truly is mutual.

Prayer burdens:

• Our Bible distribution at College of William and Mary on Tuesday (2/3).
• A lunch appointment with two students who have been very busy the past semester, but the local sisters told them that there were sisters who were a similar age as them coming to visit, and they were available to meet. Pray for the Lord to reach them through the saints through such normal, gentle shepherding.
