Year Prayer The20

After some time, they, along with their three small children, moved to our area in hopes of connecting with Tina’s relatives and possible employment for Henry. Pastor Frank then requested that I take over the Bible studies.

When we finally began, I quickly realized their joy as they eagerly embraced every theme of scripture. In fact, they were already sharing what they had learned with their co-workers and family. As a church, we soon realized that there were a handful of Mennonite families meeting in the area on Saturday.

News began to spread quickly, and plans were made to invite this small Mennonite group to fellowship with us. One of our elders invited a young Mennonite man to share his discovery of the Sabbath teaching for our local church service. It was incredible to hear how God strengthened him and his family even when they faced challenges for taking a stand for God’s Sabbath.

We had a record attendance for Henry and Tina’s baptism. This was due to their Mennonite friends and family coming to support their decision. Following the service, another elder told me that they had been praying for 20 years to see this day. What a humble privilege it was for me to experience first-hand the fruit of faithful prayer warriors. It was a high day filled with hope that what God has started He will faithfully complete. With God all things are possible!
