Brothers and sisters from HeartCry, may the abundant grace of God be upon you everyday of your lives. We are very happy because of everything that God is doing all over the world and especially in our country. We are continually receiving many e-mails from brothers and sisters who have grasped the gospel of Jesus Christ, and it’s been a real blessing to help them in many ways. We have helped by sending videos and audios to their countries, or just encouraging them to fight the good fight of the faith, or instructing them in biblical evangelism.
Among many e-mails, this month we received two very special requests, one from a sister in Switzserland, who wanted counseling with evangelism to lost people in her country, another one from Argentina, a young brother who is now 19 years old, who wanted counseling in open air preaching because he is being moved by God to do this with one of his friends and his father. We give glory to God for these fine men and women of God who are really following the footsteps of the Master. We are beginning to respond to some e-mails from Brazil too, and have told our brothers there about our next visit to their country during the third week of August. The gospel is coming to this huge country very fast and some of the brothers are writing for help. Some of these e-mails have been written in portuguese and they’ve been sent to us by brother Brad White. We are thankful to God too, for He has given us the opportunity to go to pastor Ernesto Z’s church to speak to the youth and to encourage them to preach the gospel. We’ve been going there for the last four weeks and some of the days we have gone out to witness, and the other days we have given some encouraging words from Scriptures to motivate them to witness to the lost. Pastor Ernesto is organizing a campaign for the youth of the church area and soon we’ll be preparing everything for that day. Please pray to God that he can bring these precious souls to His kingdom. We are very encouraged too because an invitation from a church in Piura who is celebrating its aniversary and many churches from the area are participating too, so please pray that the gospel will find its glory, that is Christ’s, in these brothers’ hearts and that many souls shall be saved. With a conversation that we had with brother Brad White, we have began a visiting program recommended by him, and all the evangelism team is very encouraged with this. We have one brother who is already visiting people in an organized way. We all agree that this way of visiting is going to be a blessing because with a month that the program takes to be done, people who are willing to learn the Scriptures will be able to ask questions, receive biblical answers, see our real intentions (that they could be saved), and also receive intercession for their souls. We are very encouraged about this and we know that it’s been sent by God through our brother Brad. The visiting program is already being shared in our evangelism web page because we find it to be a better way to obey the command to go and make disciples. Also, this month we had our third class of the School of Evangelism with the attendance of some brothers from other churches. The teaching was on open air preaching, and we have made some contacts to go and preach near their churches, and begin and train them with this kind of evangelism. These classes are being video recorded and are available to watch and download through our evangelism web site. Our intention is that many brothers and sisters could learn through the internet too. Well, it’s been a very blessed month too because we are having more time to study the bible and pray for all the things that God is doing throughout the world. My family is very well and we continue to grow in the grace of God. To end this report, I want to thank you very much for all your help, prayers and support, and we pray that God continue to bless you and use you for His glory and honor. In Christ, Alfonso N.
