Tuesday - Amazing Stories
 Amazing story #1: Nancy and Carrie had met a lady in the neighborhood walking that just seemed very down. As it turns out she is due to deliver her first child any day. The father wants nothing to do with the baby, her family has told her she has to leave the house, and a c-section is scheduled for Friday. She speaks great English and even read from an English NT while they talked. That was yesterday. Today, her boyfriend was willing to talk with us, the baby is being delivered in the morning (Wednesday) and they did the second Bible study with her this evening (The Woman at the Well). Better yet, the team was trying a new area and stopped along the way only to look up and realize that they were at here house this morning. So, they went to her apt and she wept when they came by.
 Amazing story #2: David and Mihai went back to the Valley today to meet with Danutz’ father Nicolai. While they are there Danutz and 3 friends came and they all listened to David’s testimony and did the Bible study with one of the friends reading. After they left, Mihai explained to Troy on the phone and David that those guys were people normally wouldn’t want to listen. They were reading the scriptures and interested in the gospel. Amazing! Miraculous!
 Amazing story #3: Yesterday we were heading into zone 9 and met a guy that was at church Sunday. He had been introduced to the whole church as a new believer that was just released from prison. This was his first Sunday in church. As it turns out, he lives in zone 9. When we saw him today I invited him to tag along on our visits. He soaked it up like a sponge. I am amazed at how much this young man has learned from the Bible in such a short time. He is on fire. In God’s infinite wisdom, he orchestrated the lives of all of these people so that we would meet at church on the very same day. (pictured below (l-r): hostess, lady from church, Mihai, myself) The hostess on the left has been having the Church Starts International Bible Studies in her home for 4 weeks. Tonight we shared lesson 5 together. In the People Who Knew Jesus study, lesson 5 is the Nicodemus story and it is the now it is time to get saved lesson. She prayed to receive Christ moments before this picture was taken. The second lady is one of the women in this zone that has been praying for a church to be planted for some time. She has been leading this lady in Bible study for several weeks and they have been friends for 14 years. Amazing!

This was so out of character, I just had to get a picture. I also saw him journaling!
Thank you for your prayers. They work.
