Update from Sister Laura McGehee
Our team of four arrived safely on Tuesday, April 9. All our flights were pretty much on schedule, with only a few short delays. When we arrived, we were met at the airport by Bro. Brent and Bro. Angelo. We bought groceries, got settled into the mission apartment, and had a Greek meal that the Logans prepared. After a good night’s sleep, we rose early for a time of quiet Bible study, prayer, and a light breakfast, then headed out to stuff letter boxes.
We divided into two teams and covered two different sections of town. Everybody lives in apartments, so there were many stairs to climb! Some buildings had cluster boxes, which made some buildings a lot faster to complete. After a couple of hours we placed 1,800 to 2,000 books of John with a gospel tract in letter boxes. Please pray they will be read and lives will be changed.
We returned home and had lunch and a quiet afternoon of rest. Church was exciting. There were 14 in attendance. Bro. Brent preached a very powerful message on the will of God in our lives. We were at church until 9 enjoying sweet fellowship.
On Thursday we will be going to the square and holding two street meetings, one in the morning and then again in the afternoon. Please pray for the hearts of these precious people to be tender and willing to receive the word of God.
