Dear Brethren,

There were a couple of blessings in Las Vegas I would like to share with you.  The first was the grandparents of Holly, a young lady in Bro. McKenzie’s church.  They came over from Russia when they were young and belonged to the Russian Orthodox Church.  I went to visit her grandfather, John Karpuk, Sr., in the hospital and he received Jesus Christ as his saviour.  Three days later I went to visit his wife Anna and I will never forget when she got saved.  She was crying and when she prayed she said she had been in the Russian Orthodox church for 81 years and no one had ever told her all she had to do was receive Jesus as her saviour and now she had wasted her life and she was sorry she didn’t have much time left for the Lord.  John was saved on Dec. 20th and Anna on Dec. 23rd and they were the best Christmas presents I have ever received.

The second blessing was when I talked to Brother Tony Gonzales who is filling in as Pastor until May.  He said he received a phone call to come to a home when a man had overdosed on drugs.  When he arrived he could see the man’s heart beating through his chest.  Tony witnessed to the man and he got saved and then Tony called 911.  After the man was taken to the hospital, Tony went back and witnessed to the man’s family and they were all saved.  The Lord is really blessing the work in Las Vegas but that also means Satan is close by and waiting to mess it up so pleasekeep them in your prayers.

I am setting up meetings for another trip and if I get enough this will be our last one, Lord willing.  So please pray the Lord leads me to the right churches.

Thanks again for your prayers.  They keep us going when the devil knocks us down.
