Praise report:

• It is so amazing to see how the Word of God is changing the ladies in the Women’s ministry. Phyllis, Pastor Nicholas’ wife started a small Bible study with the ladies who are living in the same area with her.  They just started on Saturday and one of the ladies shared that she had never heard the Word of God being explained that well.  She asked for more time and now they are meeting three times a week and go through the book of 1 John, the same book the church is studying on Sunday.  It is an amazing testimony of God’s faithfulness and work.
