TOLOSA TIDBITS – February 27, 2008

We are continuing to enjoy our reporting meeting here in North Carolina. We were able to report to two churches on the 17th and two other churches on the 24th. Sunday evening we were having supper at the local Wendy’s and met a pastor and his family. The pastor’s oldest son, 16 years old, was preaching at a local church and came in later and reported the good news that 4 young people had responded to his message and prayed to receive Jesus as their Savior. The son was still in awe at the response and humbled at how the Lord had used him. We had a wonderful time of rejoicing at how our Lord chooses to use such simple vessels of clay to do His work.

NEWS FROM THE FIELD:

INGRIDA visited a Baptist church nearer her village but we aren’t sure if she felt enough at home to return. Regina, who accompanied her, indicated that it was a good visit. Please pray with us that Ingrida will resolve to do right and attend church regularly and obediently follow the Lord.

TADAS had the opportunity to witness to his sister. Although she still wants to live her life on her terms, it seems that the Holy Spirit used some things that Tadas said to cause her to think more seriously. Pray her and others in Tadas’ and Ruta’s families to be saved.

BIRUTE, our oldest and only charter member, continues to minister to several ladies who live in her apartment building. She is gently and lovingly witnessing to them about what Christ has done for her.

What a blessing it is to hear about our church members faithfully ministering to others.

Until next time – KEEP PRAYING and PRAISING THE LORD!!!

With grateful hearts,

Mark & Tacy

Mrs. Judy White's surgery a success!

Dear saints,

Mrs. Judy White's surgery yesterday was a success. Three levels of her spine were operated on from 9:30am to 1:15pm, and she came through very well.

Please pray for her ongoing recovery. She will probably be continuing in the hospital until sometime Wednesday or Thursday. If you'd like to see her, she is at Alexian Brothers Hospital in Elk Grove Village.

We will have a card out tomorrow night for folk to sign.

Let's keep our sister in continued prayer,
Pastor

Don't miss Men's Prayer Breakfast Tomorrow!! (April 21)

Don't miss Men's Prayer Breakfast (7:30am to 9:30am). All men and boys are invited. Bring a friend if you can! There will be plenty of pancakes, coffee, donuts, and maybe even some healthy stuff!Most of all, bring an appetite for prayer and for God's Word. This is probably the most important meeting each month as we as men meet for God's guidance and direction. There will also be a challenge from God's Word.

Following the Men's Prayer Breakfast will be a Leadership Meeting. We hope to be completed before noon.

Pray for Braeden Babineau

Jeff and Cindy have been in the emergency room all weekend with Braeden. Because of flu-like symptoms the doctors think little Braeden had become dehydrated. At this point they are not sure of the diagnosis, but they are at Delnor Community Hospital in Geneva.

Delnor Community Hospital
300 Randall Rd
Geneva, IL

I'm not sure the room number yet as they were just being transferred there about a half hour ago. Please keep Braeden in your prayers.

If you'd like to send a get well card, you can send it to:
Braeden Babineau

Pray for Bro. Bill Russell

Dear saints,

Let's keep Bro. Billy Russell in our prayers. He went in to Central Dupage Hospital after having trouble breathing. He's been laid up all week, hardly able to get out of bed due to what he thought was an upper respiratory infection. The doctors have given him a nebulizer treatment, run a CAT scan, and taken X-Rays. They think Billy may have a blood clot.

It's been a hard last several weeks as you know Bro. Billy went in for a heart procedure during the Super Bowl, and he's never yet come back to full health. Let's pray that the Lord will soon restore our dear brother back to health. I know you believe what the book of James says, "the prayer of faith shall save [heal] the sick". Let's pray with faith for God's will to be done and His glory to be accomplished.

Praising God for His goodness,
Pastor
