"Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out..." Job 24:12
These are the people we are called to minister to in the city of Hartford. They are wounded, abused and oppressed by the devil. Men and women whose lives have been taken advantage of by vice and other sins. They are hurting, fearful, without hope and without God in this world.
We haven't had an update the last few weeks, but they have been a blessing. Two outings ago was the Hartford marathon. We exhausted our entire supply of tracts that day. The last time the weather was forebodding, but we went anyway to New Britain where there was a covered walk in front of the shops. There was still plenty of people to share the gospel with. Specifically, there were two men who were very close to salvation.
TEN men joined in the effort to spread the gospel today! What a blessing and encouragement. There was much liberty to preach, and one man named Leon who accepted the Lord as his personal Saviour!
I also had the opportunity to speak with a young man who was getting his life back together after being wrapped up in sin as described above. He had a testimony of salvation, but was homeless and struggling to get back on his feet. He had some questions about the Bible that we were able to answer. We were able to pray with him and encourage him to stay in the Book, and keep doing right. His name is Brandon, and I'm sure he would appreciate your prayers for him.
Please keep praying for God to move and work in this ministry. Specifically pray about new outreach methods that God has layed upon our hearts, one of which is using drawings as a ministry tool. Thank you for praying, and may the Lord Jesus Christ recieve all the glory through this ministry. As He is lifted up he will draw all men unto himself.
