Dear Landmark family,
We have just wrapped up our first revival, at Bucyrus (pronounced "Busirus"), OH, seeing a total of 51 people saved. Two of those I had the privelege of leading to the Lord while out soulwinning!
I made one friend on the way up here on the bus: Carrie Anne. She is the youngest of one of the families travelling with us. I have also made one other good friend along the week - Stephen Lance, the hosting pastor's oldest son. Please pray for Stephen; he hit his ankle with a sledgehammer during the tent setup, and finally went into the hospital last night.
The work is hard, but fun. I've learned a lot about setting up a tent and the soulwinning classes are also excellent. We seldomly get much sleep, though. Please continue to pray for safety - I did get injured yesterday. By falling out of bed. With all the danger possible from the tent work, I of course scrape up my forehead and twist my arm falling out of bed in the middle of the night!
The pastor's second oldest son, Philip, enjoyed this week so much that he is coming with us for the rest of the month. Thank you so much for your prayers! We need prayer for safety (especially Sundays through Tuesdays) and of course that we would see revival.
I must get going, but will try to write again later. We leave at 5am for Pennsylvania. Everything so far has been really enjoyable; the folks I stayed with were very hospitable and have practically adopted me.
You are in my prayers every day,
-Stephen Cleary
P.S. Pastor Biggs - I have met several people here who went to school with you, and they have some very interesting stories! :)
