Praise the Lord for answered prayer!

Thanks for praying for us this past weekend. God answered prayer for the three presentations of the Christmas Cantata/Concert Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Although there were some empty seats on Friday and Saturday, we were in awe as God filled up the tiny little auditorium of our new church plant here in Saint Medard yesterday afternoon. More than 100 people including the choir filled the 538 sq. feet.  

While some of those in attendance were from the other three churches accompanying unsaved guests of theirs, there were many from our town and the neighboring suburbs. Many of those who had assured us they would be coming did not show up, but among those who attended were two of our neighbors: a couple that we have had some good contact with and the retired school teacher that has been helping Adrianna with French on Fridays. We look forward to having more opportunities to witness to these people and pray that God will convict them of their need for His salvation.  

And though we were disappointed that others did not respond, there truly would not have been room for anyone else. We asked the Lord to fill the seats, and He did. Several people took Bibles, Scripture calendars and flyers telling of the evangelistic Bible study we will be starting in January. The choir and the actors did a great job, despite fatigue. Thank you so much for praying -- please praise the Lord with us and continue to pray for fruit!
