This past month has been another great month in the Lord. We have gotten over the flood and continue to rejoice in the Lord. We continue to see new people come to meetings. They have come to a meeting because either they saw our sign on the window or someone told them about the new church that just opened up on Mill St. Most haven’t come back after their first meeting but we do have a few stayers. A couple who was spoken to back in May are still coming to meetings. They haven’t received the Holy Spirit yet but we keep praying that the Lord will have the opportunity to work in their lives. Another lady that I met outside of the hall awhile back has started to come to meetings. She has a few issues and for weeks she would show up before the Wednesday or Sunday meeting and we would have some interesting conversations about God but she wouldn’t stay for a meeting. She actually came to a Sunday meeting a couple of weeks ago and brought another lady with her. During lunch after the meeting, we had a chance to talk to the second lady and she was horrified to find out that because she didn’t have the Holy Spirit she wasn’t saved. Her exact words were: “I don’t want to walk around my living room thinking that I’m going to hell”. She told us to show her in the Bible what it said about the Holy Spirit and salvation and of course we were happy to oblige her. After showing her scriptures, we told her she could be filled with the Holy Spirit then and there and not have to worry about going to hell. We prayed with her and in a very short time she received the Holy Spirit. The amazing thing was that when she spoke in tongues, it was not stammering but very fluent. After we stopped praying, her words were: “I’ve got it”. We are now trying to make arrangements to baptize her as we don’t have a baptism tank yet. Please keep her and the lady who brought her along in your prayers, as they both have some issues they need to work through and we are looking for great victories. Also Pastor John Joske and his wife, Amanda, from the Gold Coast Assembly were with us July 29th and July 30th. They were here in America vacationing and while they were on the east coast, dropped in to pay us a visit. We had a fellowship BBQ that Saturday evening and Pastor John brought the talk on Sunday. It was a great way to end a great month!

Yours in Christ,

Pastor Carlton
