August & September 2009
Dear Friends in Christ,
“…The harvest truly is great,
but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the
harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.”
Luke 10:2
Furlough: Our furlough is under way, and we have seen
repeated blessings of the Lord in our travels with safety and
provision. We have also seen God’s presence in the meetings we have
been in. It has been a blessing to report to churches that support
us, as well as to be in some new churches.
We had the opportunity to preach and present our ministry in Spanish
in a couple of churches that have ministries to Hispanics. What a
blessing!
In another church I preached to the Jr. Church, and at the
invitation, I asked for the children to raise their hand if they
wanted to be saved. A dad, who had come in with his little girl,
raised his hand. One of the workers asked if his daughter wanted to
be saved, to which he responded, “No, I need to be saved!” Praise
the Lord!
We left a gospel tract for our waitress in a restaurant, who upon
finding it, ran out of the restaurant, into the store in front, to
thank us for being concerned for her.
I was witnessing to a man from India, in a motel, and he was so
concerned for America because they have so much, but appreciate it
so little. He did not get saved but he listened.
Mission Conference: It was a blessing to attend the
Mission Conference at our sending church. The emphasis was on Asia,
and the tremendous need for new missionaries to surrender and go to
countries that have very little gospel witness. Please pray for
laborers!
Direction: We have been praying about the exact
location where we should go to begin another work. We believe that
God is leading us to the state of Sinaloa, Mexico. Please pray
for the Lord’s direction in our lives and ministry.
Prayer: Furlough and traveling safety; Lord’s
direction in our lives
Praise: Souls saved; God’s provision
In His Service,
Ron & Connie Winter
