Dear Praying Friends,
August was an august (“supreme”) month! We presented our work in 8 churches in 4
different states. We were privileged to see 9 souls saved through personal soul winning. This month Sarah would like to share one of her soul-winning testimonies. “A few weeks back during a Vacation Bible School in which we were privileged to help, I met a teen girl, Neff, who was a new Christian and concerned for her friends and family to know Christ. When she found out we were coming back to her area for a Wednesday night service, she texted me and asked if I would come and share God’s plan of salvation with her mom Rosa, who was Spanish-speaking only. For the next several days, Rosa was on my mind and heart and in my prayers. When we arrived in Carbondale, I couldn’t wait to meet her. On Thursday evening Mark and I went out to meet her and share the Gospel. After about 35 minutes of sharing God’s plan of salvation through faith in Christ alone, Rosa prayed, asking Christ to save her. It’s hard to say whose smile was biggest, but I think possibly Neff was the most excited to know her Mom will spend eternity in Heaven with her.”
We enjoyed more blessings this month than we have time or space to share. Thank you
to Pastor Reeves for taking us to Adventure Park and spoiling us for a day. What a joy this month also to see many of our friends from college serving the Lord faithfully. Our van had a head-gasket leak to the point of not being road-worthy anymore. My father-in-law switched vans with us. We did not have to miss one meeting. What a God we serve!
The Lord is moving many things in place for us to leave for Peru shortly. We are now at 57% of our monthly support. We hope to leave for Peru sooner than we had planned, due to the difference in airline ticket prices. It is cheaper to fly out the middle of November than the first week in December. Please pray that God will provide the money we need to purchase our tickets, as the longer we wait, the prices jump higher.
Please pray for our other teammates raising support and for our teammates already
there doing a great work. Thank you so much for your love, prayers, and support. We look forward to bringing much fruit to your account. God bless you as you serve on the home front.
Yours for the souls of Peru,
Mark, Sarah, Savannah, and Paul Rader
