Dear Pastor Chang and
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
I want to thank God for you again for your faithfulness in supporting the work of the Lord in Unaza e Re month after month. “Praise God!,” for that. In this letter I would like to let you know about the recent developments in the ministry.
Professing Christians
The boys that professed the Lord in the camp do not seem faithful and interested in growing. They profess to love and to have put their trust in the Lord Jesus. However their lives are not showing that their decision was true. I am going to meet them again and explain them more the gospel and challenge them to grow if they are true Christians or to expose the gospel again and encourage them for a true decision.
The girls are meeting on Saturdays in the afternoon and the sister that worked this summer instead of Sheri said in the last meeting that we met, that two of the girls seem really open, and the other girls are thinking about the Word of God and its reliability. It is good news that they are meeting. We trust the Lord for their salvation and their growth. My sense now is that we really need an Albanian girl that would work along side with Sheri. Two are much better than one. (Eccl 4: 9)I am praying that the Lord will provide us with another sister.
Evangelism

We are sowing the seed, as I understand from how the ministry goes and that seems difficult because we would like to see fruits. However God as it seems has its own program and time for the salvation of these people. The Lord in the midst of this circumstances (which do not seem to be favorable at all looking from a human perspective) is teaching us to walk by faith (Romans 1: 17 and Heb 11: 1) and to keep our eyes on the Lord Jesus and not on the people, or circumstances. Also we understand that we need to surrender more and more our lives to Him and be more committed in prayer and evangelism. We have found out that a great effective tool to share the gospel with non believers is through friendships. And I am praying that God will bless us in this way and give us more wisdom.
