Chris Elston

We have been very blessed to have an old friend with us for the month of September - Chris Elston

He is a missionary from UK serving in Slovakia but has come to us for this time to help out with the work

He has been visiting many of the citizens of Gotesti that have been open to the gospel but that we have not been able to do a follow up visit with.

He has also been preaching and teaching in the church and indeed other churches. The photo above is Chris giving his testimony at an outreach that Emanuel church organised for the opening of the new building.

Another great service he has been doing for the work of God here is teaching pastors and key workers English - all have been students of intermediate level and all have been very helped.

Pray Chris gets the Lord's guidance as to whether to come back in January to carry on with his help for us.

He depends on the money he earns in teaching English in Slovakia to be able to support himself and so cannot afford to be away too long

Thanks to the kind gift of some brothers in the UK we have been able to start work on building an indoor baptistery - a great desire of mine for many years

We expect to be finished by October 1 and have a baptism meeting planned for Oct 26

Please pray that we finish on target as we have a team coming from Bayfarm church in California and a harvest celebration planned with them and needing the whole hall for October 5.

Great news

We have finally got the permission to function from the mayor's office for the coffee shop which means once we get the health and safety certificate we will be able to start the pizzerie business.

Watch this space!!!
