A leader of one of the neighborhoods in the village, wrote a letter to the members of Faith Bible Church.\u00a0 She said, \u201cBig thanks for including us in the blessing you have received.\u201d\u00a0 In the eyes of this unbeliever, the believers are blessing others as they have been blessed.\u00a0 This is a wonderful testimony of the believers, to help others first ahead of themselves and their own needs. \u00a0And we want to say a \u201cBig thanks\u201d to you who have given to help meet these needs.\u00a0 You are blessing these believers as you have been blessed.\u00a0 Thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an effort to help the villagers move forward, vegetable seeds have also been provided.\u00a0 Every family received seeds for petchay (similar to spinach) and 100 families received seeds for a variety of vegetables.\u00a0 These seeds will enable them to plant small gardens on their properties.\u00a0 Lord willing, these gardens will provide both food for their families and a means of income in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We rejoice to hear that there were several visitors in attendance yesterday in church.\u00a0 Hopefully, their presence is a symbol of a sincere desire to know the Truth.\u00a0 As they hear the Word shared, please pray that the seed of God\u2019s Word will be planted in their hearts unto salvation. \u00a0Thank you for your prayer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
