Your brother in Christ, Steve Coon Evangelize–Establish–Equip–Empower THANKING GOD FOR HIS FAITHFULNESS PRAISE REPORT We started the month by holding a mini conference. We invited pastors and church leaders from the nearby local churches. During the 2-day conference, we watched some recorded Calvary Chapel teachings together. We also shared our relevant best practices with each other as to the gospel saturation within our city. We concluded the conference by blessing each attendee with a bag of rice. Indeed, it was such a sweet time of fellowship encouraging one another as co-laborers in the Lord. Glory to God from whom all blessings flow. Our monthly feeding program for the kids at the relocation continues. At the same time, since August marks the class opening in most of the schools nationwide, we took this opportunity to be able to give some school kits to the kids whom we are ministering to at Dreamville through Ronnah, our dedicated children’s teacher. It was not much but merely seeing their smiles was priceless. Our basketball team also continues as the church aims to use this avenue in reaching out to the young men in the community. The group regularly meets on a Saturday morning and late afternoon on a Sunday for their practice. They make sure to study the word of God first before going to their actual practice sessions. Thankfully, some of them have already been joining our mid-week prayer meetings as well as our Sunday corporate worship. What a blessing it is to see these young men grow in faith while pursuing their passion in playing basketball. We bid goodbye to the month of August through a beach fellowship and water baptism. This was our way of celebrating the success of the VBS in July, by God’s grace and mercy. Three young men were baptized from Mathew’s small group at Dreamville. Overall, it was a day full of thanksgiving to the Lord for sustaining us in the ministry which He has entrusted us. PRAYER CONCERNS Evangelism and Radio Ministry– Please pray for God’s protection as we do evangelism every week. Please pray as well for more bible study opportunities especially at Utap where the church is located. Pray also for the Radio program as we continue to share the Word of God on air that many people will listen and watch via Facebook Live. Kindly help us pray also for provision for our airtime fee every month. Water Baptism– Please pray for the 3 new baptized young men that they will grow deeper in Christ as they go through discipleship with Mathew. Mini Conference– Please for pray God’s leading and provision for this event as we desire do this on a yearly basis. Feeding (Children Ministry)– Please pray for the children’s teachers and volunteers that they will continue to take heed of God’s call in their life by using their God-given talent to teach young kids about Jesus. May they have endurance as they passionately do the tasks set before them for God’s honor and glory alone. Basketball Team (Youth Ministry)– Please pray for the young men who are part of this group. May their light continue to shine for Jesus that through this ministry, many young men in the community will come to know the Lord. Women’s Ministry– Please pray for the continuity of the ladies bible study in the respective relocation areas, particularly at Ridgeview and Dreamville. Now that my wife, B-Ann, is pursuing her law degree, necessary adjustments on the women’s bible study schedule have been made especially that she has a Saturday afternoon class. May this new set up work in accordance to God’s will. Men’s Ministry– Please pray for God’s leading and open door in allowing me to reach out more men/fathers in the community especially at Utap.
