“Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” (Matthew 9:38)

To God be the glory; great things He hath done. We are glad to report that several visitors have been coming to church, some of whom have trusted Christ as their Saviour. Fluke, a 12-year-old boy, came and got saved and now rides his bicycle to church nearly every week. Another family, on a day I preached a salvation message, said they wanted to be saved, and they called upon the Lord Jesus. It sure has been exciting to see people coming to church and coming to Christ. The new church plant has been steadily progressing. Praise the Lord!

A Korean man, who has been attending with his family, asked if I could meet him at a coffee shop one day. I went and spent some time visiting with him and his wife. He and his family have lived in Thailand for 20 years, and they try to help meet the needs of poorer people. He told me that he was going to a camp where a lot of poor people lived later that evening and asked if I had time to come. He said he wanted them to be helped more than just physically and asked if I would be willing to share the Gospel with them. Can you guess my answer? He was very happy when I said that we (Silas and I) would love to go.

That evening, about 60 people gathered around, and he and his wife gave them the things they had brought for them. Then he told them that he wanted them to listen very carefully to a very special message I had for them. Silas and I began to tell them of the God Who created Heaven and earth and of the love He had for them. As we progressed, I told them that I had some bad news and some very good news. As we shared with them from the Word of God the bad news that we all have sinned and that the penalty for sin is an eternal separation from God in a lake of fire, tears began to flow. “Now,” I said, “let me tell you the good news. God loves you, and He made one way for you to have your sins forgiven.” We continued to preach to them Jesus, and a little while later, many teary-eyed people bowed their heads and called on the Lord Jesus for salvation. Glory to God!! Many hugs were passing back and forth from the man and his wife and the people. Everyone was so happy!

We rejoice to report also that several have been coming to Christ in India. Please keep Bro. Isaac and the men there in your prayers as they go about sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. The area in which they live and work is very hostile against Christianity.

We love you all and thank you for all of your faithful prayers and support! May God bless you and your work for Him there, as we work for Him here!

Yours for His harvest,

Andrew & Denise Long
