New Year, New Births!


Christmas was special for our family, but the New Year brought the greatest joy when Kent had the privilege of leading TWO young men to the Lord. The third was counseled for assurance of salvation. Pictured here (L to R) are Jim, Samuela, Josese and Tomasi. Tomasi serves the Lord with CEF Fiji and "sowed the seeds" of the Gospel in the lives of his fellow rugby teammates. "Sam" and Josese, both age 22, were "ripe unto harvest" and eagerly prayed to receive the Lord on Saturday, January 3rd. In fact, Sam came to know the Lord first on Saturday morning and later that evening, he returned with his friend, Josese, saying that he, too, wanted to receive Christ. All three young men were given new Bibles of their very own.

Jim came to Kent on Wednesday afternoon stating that he had begun to read his Bible and that it was the first Bible that he had ever owned. How thrilling to see these young men excited about their new-found faith in Jesus Christ. Do pray for them as we disciple them and encourage them to grow in the Lord.
