Hi Brothers and Sisters,
God Bless!!
We are doing Great in the lord at this time just keeping up with all that took place in the pass few weeks, with us having some brothers holding a Gospel meeting at the Church that went well, well attended and we had four Baptism as a result.
Our children and myself was not well after trying hard to prepare for their coming and I came down with my Blood pressure going up and having a bad cold from being up and down in the rain and some times late going back home from the Building.
We had $17 200,collection in April and this is good and growing some and we also start to have the members see the need to give to special efforts the church is in involved in we collected $8,000 towards buying some blinds the church needs, I had the Ladies use mine for the Gospel meeting time for the while.
The attendance has improved some with the bus now running each week to pick up Christians we are having 30 to 40 coming out now. We had some really good studies in the past few weeks because we were able to get to some with the help of the Bus and Back and it is working, we were able to visit Juliet and Marvis Gomes Talk to them about worship and about them getting married there were from Mattews Ridge where the church is and the girl parents is also members. We visited with Rosey and Chelsie discuss marriage Rosey is a believer, but is living home and husband is working in the Interior so we were only able to meet with them when he comes out, we also studied with Alana a girl with similar problems.
we came in contact with a Family over the death of their daughter and I Did a thanks giving service for them and also got some time to study with the husband Standley and Virgina who is Catholic and was very surprise to know the world out here is so confused with all these church they are from Kituma Village, but his wife is a better Soil to work on she is coming out to learn more, her husband was in a Boat accident and badly hurt to the Head and Face. There is also a Sister Dian having us study with her husband who is J, witness and that is just us planting the seed but her Son Sanyo and daughter-in -law and grand child we had good study and they are coming out to see how we worship and then to make their decision and it’s going to be all at once.
We also had another study with a girl and her Father Nesha and God is working things out she is now living closer to the church and this is because the place where she was living next to a Drugs yard and she has three daughters who came to services last Sunday and was so happy to be apart of the worship,
The visit from our two brothers was great, they also brought some Nice lessons from the word of God and some Medicines and tooth brushes and a tube of Colgate for all the families in the Church this we did give out on Sunday for the christian and During the week for people in the community in all with the help of the members Chad was able to help 180+ persons that week checking Blood pressure as well.
They spoke on the one Church, The Rich young Ruler, The four ships in Philippians, Sin and what it does and was well attended.
We were able to have half of the Church Benches in time for the Meeting and then the other half came the next week ,we now have some fifteen and the building is full. and nice looking and now we need to fill them with People. We had four young people that gave their lives to Christ and a few others want to learn more so that was Good. Christopher Joseph, Winella Cameron , and Nicholas Webster and Amandie Singh.
The Ladies of the Church mostly the older and Faithful ones was taken to Enmore Church of Christ for a Day with the Church Bus and was great and happy to see so much other Christian Sister and had a wonderful Fellowship and a great meal together and we baked cakes in our kitchen and took it with us for snack time before they leave and the men served the sisters and one sister that is qualified with Teens problems spoke to the younger Girls; some fifty was in attendance and all together some two hundred and fifty and more studied and was Praising God together. This was done on Good Friday each year.
I must say a big thanks for all the support for we are seeing the increase that the lords work and all our prayers is doing in Tuschen and how the good Lord is working on using us as tools in his work and Blessing us with much more Growth and we send our Love to all.
In Christian Love Bro Hari -om Persaud.
