Family
Firstly and most importantly, the greatest thing the Lord has done in our lives lately is the birth of our son: Nathaniel Nicholas.
Rosemary's labor wasn't short, but there were no complications, and Nick got to be there with her for the whole thing.
Obviously his birth has brought about a lot of changes in our lives - especially in that we are both very tired - but we are happy about this new stage in our lives, in our marriage, and ministry-especially for Rosemary.
Nick's parents will be coming to visit and see the baby for two weeks in October and November, which we are looking forward to.
Prayer Requests:
- Praise the Lord for the gift of our son Nathaniel
- Pray that God would watch over Nathaniel and take care of him
- Pray for us as we get used to being parents, that we would have much patience and energy and much wisdom from God
Calvary Chapel Eger
On September 23rd our church had a baptism at a lake near Eger. 5 people from the church were baptized, showing their commitment to following Jesus even in spite of the cold water. This was the first baptism service we've done in Eger, and it was a blessing to see many family members and friends come to the service - which was exactly what we had prayed for. This was actually our church's second baptism this summer - the first one being at the Summer Conference in Vajta, where 4 others were baptized. It has been a real blessing to see the fruit that God is bringing out of the ministry here in such as visible way, especially as 2 of those who were baptized had come into the church through this summer's English Camp outreach.
On September 30th our church had its founding meeting, in which we went through the necessary formalities to become an official church in the eyes of the government. This was a very big milestone in our ministry here, having come here a few years ago with a vision from the Lord to start a church in this city, and now arriving at the point where God has built a church and we are now officially registered. Praise the Lord for what He has done and continues to do! As you can imagine, there were a lot of preparations for this to happen, as we had to write by-laws and get official documents, and actually this process isn't quite complete yet as we are still waiting for approvals.
One other thing that is new in the church is that Shane Daniels - the church worship leader - has now been appointed an elder in the church. He is a blessing here and has been faithfully doing the work of an elder for some time now, even without the title. Shane will be leaving to America for 6 weeks in October and November, which will be a difficult time for us, not having his help, and having to cover his responsibilities and ministries.This next Saturday - October 13th - we will be doing a music outreach in the city park. We have done these outreaches before, and they've been very effective. There will be a team coming from the Bible School in Vajta to serve with us, and with them we will also organize a follow up meeting for kids who came to the English Camp this summer.
Prayer Requests:
- Praise God for the growth in the church and the commitment to Him of those who were baptized. Pray for their continued spiritual growth as they follow Jesus.
- Praise God for the church He has begun here and for bringing us to the milestone of becoming officially registered. Please continue to pray for this, as there are still a few steps to make before we are finished.
- Pray for those in the church who God is raising up as new leaders in the different ministries - worship ministry, children's ministry, church leadership, etc...
- Pray that more men and families would join the church
- Pray that our outreaches to the city would be fruitful
- For the time that Shane is in America, that others would step up to fill the gap
- For the young believers to be founded in their faith and led by the Holy Spirit
- For the church to have a heart of worship
- For a great harvest of souls in Eger!
Thank you for your prayers and support! Please feel free to contact us; we would love to hear from you.
