Did You Hear Heaven Rejoicing?

At mid-day last Monday, a man who had come to the church a couple times came to our house seeking my approval to get together again with his estranged wife, who got saved in our church last January.  She is my mother in law, which makes him by law my father in law.  Well, they came seeking my approval/church blessing to get back together, and I explained how they needed to first make sure of their salvation.

The lady, my mother in law, is in love with God and has a great testimony now that she's saved.  Him, on the other hand, my father in law that is, was under conviction because he wanted to do right and had made some positive changes, but knew he hadn't been saved for real.  He joyfully received Christ on the spot after I explained the Gospel to him and showed him from the BIBLE how he could be saved!

Afterwards, I then counseled them that whereas they are already legally married, that was 30 years ago and they have been separated for nearly 25 years.  I advised them to continue to abstain from any relations and get married as soon as possible in the church to make their vows to each other before God, both being new Christians.  They happily agreed to wait it out until we could do the wedding.  We agreed on August 28th of this month, and we're going to perform the wedding during a regular church service.

What a blessing!  What a miracle!  30 years of marriage, 25 years of that being separated, multiple boyfriends and girlfriends, wickedness between them both and the world...only God could make something like this possible.

Thank you to those of you who read the prayer request regarding all of this and responded with prayer.  It worked!  Hallelujah!

Attendance!

Just to report a praise in answered prayer, we had great attendance last Sunday morning and Wednesday night.  Last Sunday night was down, but both services before and after were very well attended and most importantly the Spirit of God worked in the hearts of the people, especially Wednesday evening!
