Greetings in the name of our ruling Lord!
Thank you for your faithfulness in prayer. May we all trust in the Lord that He hears and He answers (according to His perfect eternal will).
You have been praying for the Church in Suriname (FPC), and I wanted to share what I received from Rev. Hamid this past week:
We have had this Cuban family visit twice in the last three weeks. Their (only) daughter is in K4. They have lived in Suriname for 8 years. The wife, a dentist, speaks English quite well but the husband knows very little. Since the first time they visited, she has said that they have gone to different churches for the last 8 years looking but they were so disappointed with the teachings. She said they were on the point of giving up because they were struggling with knowing they should be in church and yet the option was stay at home or go to some church and listen to “corrupted” teaching. She said they took a chance because they have never visited a reformed church, but she has been so appreciative of the teachings. They right away said that they weren’t sure what they will find so they had not planned on staying the first week. They were absent on the LD before last but were here this past LD again. They stayed for study time and even asked about bringing snacks for snack time. She even said to me afterward, “Pastor, very good preaching.” Really nice to see.
PTL and thank you for your prayer. Please also remember to pray for the Church discipline on two members; that the Lord would graciously grant repentance and restoration…in His time.
The construction work is progressing, and PTL for this.
Rev. RP
