  • Dan and Deb Rothwell Prayer Letter: Reaching "The Gateway to Micronesia"Hafa Adai from the island of Guam, “The Gateway to Micronesia.”

    Micronesia includes 5 main island groups with approximately 2,000 individual islands, with about 1,000 of them being inhabited. Since Guam is the main island, Micronesians from the outer islands come to Guam seeking a better life, and I believe the Lord has me here on Guam so that I can reach them with the Gospel.
    Most Micronesians know the Gospel message—the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, but they do not know that that is what they must solely believe for their salvation. The Lord has helped me to learn how to talk with them so that they understand the simplicity of the Gospel and salvation, and it is amazing to see the difference in their demeanors when they understand it, especially after they pray to receive Christ as their Saviour.

    “The Lord is . . . not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

    I am thankful the Lord uses me to help rescue the perishing through personal soul winning. Since the last update, the Lord has used me to personally lead 33 people to Christ.

    A man, who appeared homeless, was sitting on the edge of a large concrete planter’s box next to a building. I walked over to him, hoping to talk with him about the Lord. Seeing me coming, he pretended he was asleep. I spoke to him to get his attention, after which he sat up and looked at me with an angry face, like he wanted to attack me. Quickly I said, “My name is Pastor Dan.” Upon hearing that, his face relaxed, and he extended his hand to shake mine. After shaking hands, he allowed me to lead him to Christ. I’m so glad he did not attack me, and I was surprised at how receptive he was to the Gospel. What a nice turn of events that was.

    In another soul-winning event, while checking out at a grocery store, it was just the cashier and me, with no one else waiting in line, so I took the opportunity to ask her if she knew for sure she would go to Heaven. She did not know and allowed me to explain the Gospel to her, which she understood and believed, and wanted to receive Christ as her Saviour. As we were about to pray, customers lined up at her register, but undeterred, she prayed with me to be saved. After we finished, she patted her heart with her hand, like she felt something had happened there. She thanked me, and with a smile on her face, she turned to help the next customer.

    Lastly, three teenagers were crossing my path when I said to them, “Hey guys, have I talked to you yet?” One of them said, “Yeah, you’ve talked to me but not to them.” So, the other two came closer and allowed me to talk with them about the Gospel, and the Lord used me to lead both of them to Christ as well—three friends in this life and in the next.

    The Lord continues to bless Island Baptist Church. Our folks continue to be faithful. The Lord takes up for them, answers their prayers, and works in their lives. They have a desire to live for the Lord and to reach their family and friends for Christ, witnessing to them at family functions and bringing them to church in hopes they will be saved. This even resulted in my being able to lead one of the visitors to the Lord after church, which the family was happy and grateful for.

    Thank you for being a blessing to us with your faithful prayers and financial support. Please continue to pray for our health and safety, Island Baptist Church, Guam, and Micronesia.

    In His harvest field,

    Dan Rothwell and Family
