Fighting the good fight of faith

Discipleship Class ICW—We’ve had three sessions now and each time has been unique and blessed. Last week, one new convert confessed to the group that he has a gambling addiction. We all promised to pray for this bondage to be broken. This week, he testified that he had had a great week and that he only yielded to temptation once. We cheered him on.

Byron (a car salesman) shared how tithing used to be a chore for him. It was hard to part with “his” money. “But now,” he testified,” Its exciting to think Sunday is coming and I will get to give my tithe.” He shared that from each of the last five cars he has sold he has tithed his commission. Now that’s getting down to real life!

Westview team—A great youth team is here from Manhattan, Kansas. They are working on the construction and holding special youth outreach activities. About 16 of our ICW youth showed up for the first event. Pray that Westview’s presence will revitalize our small youth group.

Guayaquil all-church youth outing—The Westview youth joined our Guayquil youth for an all-day outing to the Pacific coast beach last Saturday. The bus was packed out and youth from all churches but one participated.

BECAUSE OF INTERNATIONAL TRAVELS THE BLOG WILL BE UPDATED THE NEXT TIME ON JULY 12.
