Dear Prayer Partners,

Colossians 1:18 “… that in all things he might have the preeminence.”

We would like to say we have seen many come to faith in Christ this past month but we cannot. However, we do praise the Lord for the many opportunities He gives us to witness for Him. To just name a couple a few weeks ago, we were out passing out tracts and Pam had the privilege of giving the gospel to a young mother on her way shopping. Her name was Mariam and she said she had attended the Baptist Union church when she was growing up. However, during the conversation it became apparent she did not understand the gospel.  She listened intently to a presentation of the gospel and accepted a tract before she had to go on her way. David also had opportunity to talk briefly with a young man by the name of John. John graciously accepted the Amazing Grace tract. We trust that the Lord will direct the message of the gospel to the hearts of John and Mariam to bring them to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. 1Corinthians 3:7 “So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.”  

Jim and Margaret have returned home from Sydney. Their son, Malchom, is on a new drug, which presently is performing better than methadone did for him. We would appreciate you praying for Malchom, Jim and Margaret as the Lord brings them to your mind.  

The 29^th of May we drove to Tamworth for David to attend a mandatory celebrant’s course in order to keep his religious celebrant’s license valid. We have some unsaved friends who moved to Tamworth a few years ago and they have been asking us to come and pay them a visit so this was an opportunity even if for a only a few hours after the course. They are such gracious people, religious but lost. She is high Church of England and he Roman Catholic. We have mentioned them before in letters. They have listened to us verbally give the gospel and have accepted it in tract form as well. We continue to pray God will break through their religiosity and that Adrian and Ann will be saved.  

Time continues to move, faster it seems the older we get, toward that final Day when we will all stand before our Creator and Judge. May we not be satisfied with only being saved, but to be among those who are called “the faithful in Christ Jesus” as Paul states in Ephesians 1: 1. Thank you for your continued prayers for the ministry and us, God’s richest blessings!

His and Your servants,
