For a Friend
Hello folks. Here is a prayer request from one of my IMB colleagues, doing an evangelism project in a large city in Russia. His name and location will remain undisclosed for now, but God knows.
“We are getting ready to distribute over 20,000 flyers through mailboxes, inviting people to join us for a "Short Bible Course." The course will be 16 lessons from the books of Romans, and will be a good overview of the Gospel message. This all seems very straightforward. But, although religious freedoms are certainly better in many ways than they were in Soviet times, there is still the possibility for hang-ups.
Please pray about the following...
· Pray that there would be no resistence from the government or others to our offering this service to the community.
· Pray that God would draw people to this Bible-study, and that no hinderances would keep them from coming.
· Pray for "smooth logistics" as we attempt to group those who want to enroll in the course.
· Pray that people would come, be saved, and become a church that will reach out and start other churches.
TIMELINE:
I should get the invitations from the print-shop today (July 21st)
They will be distributed next Friday and Saturday (July 28th and 29th)
We'll be accepting "enrollment" by telephone for a week or two thereafter
We hope to begin meeting with those interested in early/mid August”
Thank you for praying for my friend and the Russians in his city.
Blessings, Brad.
