GOOD NEWS!
Greetings from Great Britain! After spending a spectacular week at the City Of Angels Church Winter Workshop, our campus ministry, largely through the mighty efforts of Coltin & Mandee Rohn, “forcefully advanced [God’s] Kingdom” here in London, as we witnessed two young women make Jesus their Lord and then be baptized over the past two weeks! Genesis, a beautiful English-Peruvian 17 year old who started studying after Jen Watkins reached out to her mom in Camden, brought seven visitors to her baptism! Her friends were so impacted; one of the young men cried during her sharing, and another one of her best friends has already studied up through Persecution! Please be praying as we also continue studying with her mom, Irene.
Yesterday, another talented student was baptized into the campus ministry, Cassandra! She is an exceptional Chinese Law student finishing her Masters Degree at London's world renown University College of London! It was heart-warming to see her embrace each and every sister as she shared vulnerably how they had all radically impacted her life closing with the words, "I no longer look at how big my problems are, but how big my God is!” After her good confession that Jesus is Lord, contrary to our meeting facilities policy, we were allowed to baptize Cassandra in a pre-heated kiddie-pool in the back of the Arlington House Conference Center! It was encouraging to hear the front desk reception worker say, "Far be it for us to deny the work of God!"
Another highlight was Richard Lewis' (visiting from Los Angeles) witty and eloquent communion and contribution speeches, which had every Englishman tickled by his very British sense of “humour” and everyone else inspired by his love and maturity! Can't wait for Richard & Rotasha Lewis to officially place membership here in London in June! Thank you so much Los Angeles for your sacrifice and faith! To God be all the glory!
