The Lord blessed tremendously tonight as we had 43 people show up for the ESL and 12 for the Bible Study. This was the 6th week, and we continue to become more organized each week. We offered refreshments for the first time today, which went great. Hopefully, that helped to give them something to eat, so they could be more focused on the class rather than being consumed with hunger and thirst. The same people are consistently coming, and we continue to add new folks as well, yet I am still praying about when to start the intermediate ESL class. The mock market continues to go well each week, and we introduced clothing this week, of which Sally brought in a whole slew of items for that. We always break the large group into seven or eight smaller groups for more focused study, so that went well also. Lutfi was back, so we decided to give him a pass for being out :) Chris came out tonight as well, and we are always appreciative of any help we can get.
We had both a strong Latino and Nepali turnout, and we were thrilled that a good number of folks stayed for the Bible Study, which I decided to teach in English. They want to know English, and doing the Bible Study in English seems to help attendance. I am still working on my ability to communicate the gospel to them in a clear yet simple manner as we go through the book of Romans, so I appreciate prayers for that especially; it was evident tonight that I have a long way to go on that. We did pass out several more New Testaments in English & Spanish, and we even passed out several copies of Romans in Nepali (hats of to Roberto for that).

That's so exciting to watch the ministry grow and to continue to have the same group of people come week after week. Praise the Lord! I pray He continues to bless your efforts and faithfulness and may the elect come to know Him! Let's pray for more workers for the harvest!
