Dear Saints,
Atlanta House Church Our church has been seeking to know the Lord and deepen our relationship with Him through
reading His word and acting on it. We are asking God to help us grow in our
love for Him and people. We celebrate each person’s unique part in our seeking God. Barrie turned 71 this month! Recently, members
have chosen verses about seeking God for us to
read during the week. Then they lead our discussion on Sunday. We also seek the Lord through singing, the Lord’s supper, and praying for
one another and unbelievers.
I also had an amazing
conversation with Carter one day. He is a 17-year-old young man who is working
for a lumber company. I told him how that I was proud of how hard he was
working. Then I mentioned, What Is Better Than Free? Restoring the Lost Work
Ethic. He said, “You wrote a book?” I went to my truck to give him a copy,
but only had, Granddad’s Animal Adventures. I showed it to him and said,
“This book is about how God is seeking to us. He wants a
relationship with us.” Carter replied excitedly, “That gives me goosebumps! I
have been seeking God! I left my friends who were a
bad influence, and now I have four or five good friends who are helping me find
God.” After glancing over the book he said, “My nine-year-old sister would love
this book!” I said, “Here, please give it to her.” Pray for them to come to
Jesus!
Prayer
& Praise
Fernando, Saul, Little Fernando, and Carter Ask God to speak to these young people as they read my
book. Ask God to help them understand that salvation by grace and not by works.
Illinois & Virginia Churches David and Stephanie asked that we pray for Jeff, a member of the church in Portsmouth, who has
some heart problems. They also asked that members of both churches consistently
walk with God during the inconsistent summer schedules - consistently read the
Word & be in fellowship.
Merry & Nathan’s
Baby Praise God for a healthy baby girl! Thank you for praying for Merry and her baby, Emilia Alice
Evans, who was born May 17th. Emilia shares a birthday
with her 12-year-old cousin, Emilia Dewey Newton! Please pray for the Evans to seek God for grace to adjust to having
a new-born along with their two young boys. Thank you for praying for all these needs!
Seeking
Jesus with you,
Steve & Danelle
