 * Promise for the Pilgrim

"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.  1 John 3:1

Sometimes we wonder what in the world is wrong with people.  Their problem is that they do not know the Lord!  God is patient and we should be, too.  Pray for God's mercy for these unknowing people.

 * Victories in the Vineyard

Fayette County Fair
This was our 3rd year to be with Bible Baptist Church in La Grange, TX.  While we were there, they called their new pastor, Bro. Costella.  He and others helped in the booth.  Especially Frank and Brenda Nutt, who worked all day every day to make this event a success.  Very kind and loving friends.  41 professions of faith, 18 received assurance, 18 received a witness without making a decision and 1260 tracts were distributed from the booth.  Another 1520 tracts were given away at the parade.  The Nutts also helping there.  Thank the Lord for their concern for their community.

These small county fairs can be a huge benefit to training soul winners.  Churches can work their local event, which is usually 3-5 days in length, then work area festivals, which are usually 1-3 days. Using 4-6 events like this per year will keep your members soul conscious, teach them tract distribution and sharpen their witness skills.  What church can thrive without these?  Call us and compare schedules.  If you're the only one (Pastor or member) in your church who cares, get started yourself.  God wants to use your witness.  There is no need of a call to be a Soul Winner.

Eisenhower Flea Market
Pastor James Linneweber of Heritage Baptist Church, Bulverde, TX, helped at the San Antonio Flea Market.  We had 14 professions of faith and some excellent contacts.  We saw some lives really changed while working just those few hours and we were very encouraged.  This is a new church with a heart to win the lost, wherever they may be found.  Bro. Linneweber also helped another Missionary (Dick Sonnier) at the Comal County Fair in New Braunfels.  Pray this church can get a good start.  Do you have relatives or friends in the area who are not saved or looking for a church?

Texas State Fair
We are just getting underway in Dallas and off to a very good start.  More in October's Prayer Letter.  Pray for stamina.

 * Words for Soul Winners and Warners

We try to make much of the fact that we, as human beings, cannot get anyone saved.  We may be separated, read our Bibles and pray, but if the Lord does not do the saving, it is not going to get done.  Our work is sowing and watering, God gives the increase.  Public Events present many, many chances for winning and warning. GO!  WIN!  REJOICE!

We call ourselves Soul Winners, and we do see many come to the Lord, but we do a lot more Warning than Winning.  Any of us can Warn the lost with tracts, a witness and testimony.  If you get involved, you will see many Warned and a lot more Won, than doing nothing at all.  Public Events offer some much opportunity for perfecting your Witness.

 * Terrific Testimonies

Jaylin                    17

I asked God for forgiveness and asked Him to allow me into Heaven and I meant it.

Jaylin wanted forgiveness and got it. The burden of sin is real.  It weighs heavily, guiltily and eternally.

Brenda                  30

I asked to be born again.

Brenda took her petition to the Lord to receive the born-again change.

Sandra                   14

I talked to God and it made me feel good.  I believe in God and that He is with us anywhere.

As Sandra prayed, she talked to God as if He was right there.  She believed He was.

Maricela               15

We believed in Jesus and found out that He died for us on the cross.

Maricela, at the very least, received a good witness.  She may have been saved right there or even later.

Jason                     24

I came in, listened to parts of the Bible and prayed for my Saviour.

Jason came into the booth, sat down, listened and knew he needed a savior.  He got the Saviour.

Adam                     18

I, Adam, was saved and cleansed of my sins tonight.

Adam was evidently concerned about the corruption of sin and wanted the cleansing of Jesus Christ.

Krystal                  20

God has assured me that tonight I will be admitted into the gates of heaven, forgiven me for everything I have done in my life.

Krystal was forgiven of every sin and received assurance of it.  You know when sin is gone.

Seth                        13

I asked God to forgive me in prayer

Seth brought 2 of his friends, one at a time.  He told them to step up closer to the "3 Doors" so we would ask them if they had seen the 3 Things God Cannot Do. He was a very effective evangelist.

Tom                       19

I was just saved.  No one can take that away from me.

Since salvation is for all sin, past and future, once obtained, no sin can be the cause of losing it.  The Spirit of God impressed Tom with this all at once.

 * Points for Prayer and Praise

More and more there is urgent need for our witness to move out further to the lost in multiplied communities.

Pray for our health, support, preaching meetings, training meetings, safety, booth fees, tract costs, open hearts and spirit guidance.

Thanks for your prayers.  Our support has risen the last month.  Thank the Lord and churches with vision.
