A New Name Written Down in Glory!

For the last few weeks Alexander has been reading his Bible at home each morning along with the Halley's Bible Handbook we gave him for Christmas. In the services, as we continue through the Firm Foundations lessons, Alexander has recently began understanding much about the finished work of Christ on the cross. It is always exciting to share the Gospel with someone who has never heard before. As many of you know from experience, often it doesn't "sink in" the first time they hear of God's free gift of salvation. But how exciting it is to watch when all the pieces do come together for them and they understand that God loved them that much to send His only begotten Son to die in their place!

We are so thankful to share with you that just this last Sunday Alexander prayed and accepted Christ as his Savior! Our whole family has been praying diligently for Alexander to be saved and therefore greatly rejoiced with him as soon as they heard the news. What a blessing for us to now have two saved families attending faithfully. Now, we have a problem...we need to go out and reach some more souls for Christ!! Pray for us and our little church family to be a bright light here in Elita.
