ANSWER TO PRAYERS:

We thank the Lord for the daily open doors, for both of us, to evangelize here in Venezia Mestre, Italy. We have been getting more phone calls now than ever from people receiving our new tracts!!! Praise God. We have also been having regular open doors to evangelize while distributing the tracts and while just living here and doing regular everyday things like trying to get medical coverage for example.

Seeing how much God is using our distributions we have prayerfully decided to postpone setting up free English courses for the near future in order to focus on the daily sowing of the gospel through tracts and evangelism. Thank you nonetheless for praying for the English efforts, but we will now go ahead, believing the Lord would have us do this further down the road, to see what God will do as we engage the people more through personal evangelism efforts! 

PRAYER REQUESTS:

1. Pray for DANIELE - a young man who called as an atheist but was loving challenged by our gospel witness to reconsider all he believes. Pray for his salvation and that we can meet with him personally.

2. Pray for ITALO - a middle-age man who works at the Medical Insurance place and has opened his heart to me numerous times now, having also heard the gospel from my mouth numerous time now. He now asked me how to become an evangelical by saying: "Come funziona? Mi devo iscrivere o cosa?" - "How does it work? Must I register myself or what?" Pray for us to be able to meet him outside the office and for his salvation. Pray also for his work colleague who also is hearing the gospel as he participates in our talks. 

3. Pray for DELMAR - a rough character who says he heard the gospel from me also in Pordenone... Pray the Lord move him to see his greater need of salvation and seek God for fogiveness.

4. Pray for the thousands of others receiving tracts but not yet reaching out to us. Pray the Holy Spirit save. Pray for the others calling in out of curiousity.

5. Continue to pray for COURAGE and BOLDNESS in evangelism and OPEN DOORS to evangelize through our literature distributions and for HEART CONVERSIONS.

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, - Col. 1:24a

May this, like Paul and Jesus whom he followed, be our heart attitude as well, in Jesus name.
