Sermon and Sharing in Sunday School

-Lord willing it went well. It was a privilege and an opportunity to share on Mother's Day with my mom and dad being there, that is a praise to God.

-I hope to get a newsletter out soon with future plans, they may be repeats but with a bit more information about what is coming up.
In Christ,

Praise from John Cook

Hi Jonathan,
Good news today. Nick, Damien and Brian attended Church. All the others
in Nicks family, except Grandma and Preya, went to the backdam. Brian
and Damien attended Sunday School as well.
Cindy taught lesson 9 along with Loretta Bepta (one of my BTN students).
Loretta is joining our Sunday School teaching group, she has taught
Sunday School before. I will be giving her Vol 1 of the Firm Foundations Teacher's manual to read.
John Persaud sat quietly and observed the session without interfering.
Later he and Zed came by and agreed to purchase a copy of Firm
Foundations for the Church. He is also going to recommend that all the
ABC Churches purchase copies. So my soul is praising the LORD for
answered prayer.
Also, I began teaching Nick how to read using the Phonics material I
received. I plan to teach any others who wish to do the same.
Your efforts appear to be bearing fruit.
Lacram and Kamla are showing more interest in the things I am teaching,
and Ram said that perhaps we could do a Bible study once the rainy
season begins, as he will have more free time then.
Over half of the rear patio is paved now so I definitely need to get a
hammock for back there.
Bro John

Prayer & Praise

Greetings in Christ,
Please continue to pray for Nick's, Preya's, Ravi's, ShaBana's, Deolall's, and Yadram's salvation.
Pray for John Cook as he continues to minister in Guyana, South America.

Here is an email from John Cook:
Hi Jonathan,
Nick and Preya came by today as I was singing Victory In Jesus. When I finished, I did a stirring reading of Revelation Ch 21:9- 22:21. When I finished they said they wanted to come to church Sunday, and also Sunday School. I told them that I would drop by Sunday Morning to get them. Just as they left, Damien, Brian and Adija came by. I sang a few more Hymns to them. They liked Wonderful Grace Of Jesus in particular. Then we all sang Arky Arky. I then read the same two chapters in Revelation to them. Finally, they asked me to "Follow us home". It is a very dark night. Yadoram dropped by earlier with some food. Said he wanted to do a lesson. Not knowing what exactly to do with him, I asked him to let me know when his Dad got home from work. My plan is to discuss what kind of study to do with him, or rather, with the whole family, I hope. It looks as if he got home quite late as all the downstairs lights are out. So maybe I will see Ram another time. Yadram did mention that he would like to come to church and Sunday School sometimes because sometimes he is in Mara.
It appears as if the doors you opened are allowing me entry.
All for now. Bro John
