The First Week…

Well, the first week has not gone too bad. I spent the first two days witnessing door to door around the church, and then spent the next witnessing in a slightly more affluent area. I must say, contrary to popular opinion I’m sure, the worse looking area had by far the nicer people. The “richer” area produced only two positive responses, one a teenage man who listened attentively to the gospel, and the other, sister in Christ who gave me a cold bottle of water, and some homemade brownies. YUM!

The rest of the houses in that area, were “doors slammed in face” and “Get out of my Yard” encounters.

The “rougher” area, that directly around the church, has gone great! I have been welcomed into homes and had warm greetings: all but one home.

Unfortunately, none of those I have witnessed to showed up to church today. HOWEVER> there was one plus: The young man, Bo, who my friend Stephen and I befriended, attended service and Sunday school for the first time today! While this is great news, I am afraid it was tempered by some bad news as well:Bo’s house burned down! Now, fortunately it was a rental, from what I understand, but this still leaves Him on the street. I am doing what I can, and I was pleased to see some church members here slip him some money, but PLEASE keep him in your prayers!

Anyway, until next week!
