This is it! This is the week we will present the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ! This is the moment we have been building toward for the last 11 weeks. On Wednesday we will present the Gospel to the Patpatar people!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We implore you to pray for victory in the lives of the Patpatar this week as the light of the Gospel is explained. Pray for spiritual clarity and understanding. Pray that many will become the children of God. Pray that Satan and his attempts to thwart the Gospel would be hindered. This last week we have seen some of those attempts by the enemy. There was someone that came into the village as the speaker for a big meeting (he’s from the other side of the island). He told everyone not to listen to the “white men’s talk.” This week we were made aware of a small group (who have not attended the teaching) that are claiming that what we are teaching is lies and is not from God’s Word. Also, this week some visitors came in with promises of gold being discovered, which has drawn some people away. We know that the enemy doesn’t want his children to change their course from being bound for hell to becoming God’s children through saving grace and be bound for heaven.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

There have also been victories this week. Most of the individuals who have been faithful to attend are still coming. Most are seeing through the lies and their eyes are being opened to the truth of God’s Word. A huge and exciting victory came this week when the two Patpatar men who have been helping me check through the lessons before I teach them came to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Both Tamrau and Tokiung gave clear testimonies after the gospel was presented to them in my office. Both men have realized their sinfulness and inability to get to God on their own. Both have clearly understood the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus on their behalf. Both have expressed faith in Christ and His work on their behalf. Both are excited and can’t stop talking about what Jesus did for them.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We are praising God we now have Patpatar brothers in Christ and are praying that this week many more will be added to the family.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Coming This Week:<\/p>\n

*\tThe last supper of Jesus with His disciples. *\tThe arrest, trial, and beating of Jesus. *\tThe crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. *\tThe final instructions to the disciples and the ascension of Jesus.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

For the glory of our Heavenly Father,<\/p>\n
