Pennsylvania Report-January 2007

Greetings from all the PA saints. Happy New year to all! We’ve made it through another year and what a year it was. We saw many blessings this year along with many challenges. We were blessed with a new place to hold our meetings and the Lord really used it. We saw a few people get filled with the Holy Spirit and one person also got baptised and is still walking in the Lord. We’ve had a number of people walk in off the streets to come to a meeting and hopefully some of them will come back. To end the year on a very exciting note, a young Chinese family just started attending our meetings last month. They haver a little girl and another child due sometime this month.They have just moved from the Atlanta, GA area (sorry John that you didn’t get then before we did-smile) as the husband is doing an Internship at the major hospital hear where I also work. They had been attending a Pentacostsal church in Atlanta and when they arrived in the area, they went on the Internet to find a similar church in the Danville area, which led then to us. They live just down the street from the hall and are within walking distance. The wife started coming to meetings first as her husband’s schedule did not allow him to attend the meetings. He did come to the Sunday meeting on New Years eve. I had a chance to talk to them and they had both been baptized by full immersion. Even though they had been in an organization where people were obviously Spirit filled, people spoke out in tongues during meetings, and they said they even saw people receiving the Holy Spirit coming up out of the waters of baptism, speaking in tongues, they were told it was a side issue and that they didn’t really need to seek for it. How tragic! After I explained to them the proper use of the Spirit Gifts and that the Holy Ghost experience was available to whoever asked, they were surprised and happy that they could start praying to receive the Spirit. We are excitedly awaitng the possible addition of a new brother and sister in the Lord. What a way to start the New Year!
