"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17
Dear Friends and Prayer Partners,
Do you believe Noah and the Ark is just a fairy tale or that Moses never made a mistake? Please pray for a gentleman by the name of Koorosh. He is of the Baha�i faith and does not believe the Bible has literal accounts. He is misled in regards to Faith in Jesus Christ and the finished work of Calvary. He is a very gracious and kind man. Fellow missionary, Brother Keith and I met Koorosh on visitation, he asked many questions then asked us to return on Sunday. Pray for Faith and Conviction. God will work as we are faithful to give forth the word of life. Pray he will read the Scriptures.
Greetings in the precious and holy name of our Saviour- Jesus Christ. Thank you all so much for your prayers, love and concern. God has been supplying our needs. We have been counting our blessings one by one. Allow us to enumerate upon a few. God supplied for complete payment of our airline tickets ($2,351.54). (Lord willing we are leaving from Philadelphia, PA on August 7.) PRAISE GOD we saw the Lord answer prayers for the children�s school material. (Yes, we know they are not ready to read, however we need to be ready). Literature was given for the first grade. All Angela needed was a few charts and workbooks. The Lord saved us over $300.oo in books. Thank you for your willingness to give instead of selling!! (you know who you are!) God gave us $400.oo for transformers and etc. for our house in India! He also allowed us to give the car to a needy brother. Praise God for the finances for a piano( 750.oo). Just today for instance we were given $255.00 worth of needed medical shots for the country. God is gracious and gives more than we can ever imagine. We have seen 900.oo come in for the moving expense. God Can! Thank you all who have given. May God richly bless you.
We are currently at 87.5% of our support. PRAISE GOD We serve the God who is able even when we cannot see if the money will be there or not!! Is that not Faith? God is faithful. His great blessings continue. I could write many pages, but I believe this will suffice. We would like to thank the families who have taken us as their missionaries out of our home church. Praise God. Cornerstone Baptist Church has taken the Pratt family as their first missionaries. This again is Faith! Thank God for faithful people.
