Lena and I have been very busy the past several weeks. We continue to place ourselves in the paths of those in our community. We go out every week and meet new people. I have learned that getting out and making an effort to meet new people is half the battle in being an obedient witness. It is always tempting to shut yourself away from the rest of the world, but if you do not place yourself in the lives of others then it is impossible to impact their lives. I remind myself every week that I may not build up the courage to share the g0spel even if I go out into the community for ev@ngelism, but if I put myself in the path of others then I am at least positioning myself where the Father can open up doors for me. If we never position ourselves in people's lives then it is certain that we will never share with anyone. I have also found that when I position myself in people's lives that the Father usually gives me the grace and the courage to be able to talk to them about s@lvation. When we make the decision to place ourselves in the community for ev@ngelism then the Father opens up doors and gives us the courage to walk through those doors. The Father opened up several doors for us this past month to have good conversations with others. We were also blessed to have an ev@ngelist from South Asia come and spend some time with us. He assisted us in talking to several M*slims about J.

Lena's pregnancy continues to progress well. She has two doctor check ups coming up this month. Silas also continues to progress well. We all had the opportunity to take a vacation recently. We traveled to several locations and got to see many of the sites that we have wanted to visit since we arrived in Europe.       

Pr@yer Resquests:

1. That Lena's pregnancy would continue to progress well.

2. Pr@y for those who we come into contact with. We need the power of our Father as we reach out to people.

3. That we would come into contact with those who are ready and willing to become leaders for the cause of J.
