The Angels Rejoiced Today

About three weeks ago, an undesirable situation occured with a Mongolian man whose wife attends the church here. Without going into details, we were worried that his wife and children wouldn't be able to attend church anymore, or even be allowed to have any contact with Pastor Dean and his family. It was somewhat tense for a while, and we had a hard time even getting a hold of him. After talking with Pastor Jaquith, Pastor Dean and Pastor Jaquith decided that maybe we could offer for the Jaquiths to bring something from America for this man. We thought that that might open a door. One day, Pastor Dean had some errands to run that would bring him right by this man's house. Pastor Dean prayed that sometime that day, he would run into him and be able to ask him what Pastor Jaquith could bring. Well, he didn't see him at all that morning. Later, that day, John, Pastor Dean, and I went to the store to pick up some groceries. Lo and behold, there he is, standing in the grocery store with his wife. Pastor Dean talked to him, and he asked for two pairs of jeans. Pastor Jaquith brought him the jeans. According to this culture, because Pastor is older than he, he ows him much more respect than Pastor Dean (the same age). Well, to make a long story short, after Pastor Dean and Pastor Jaquith witnessing to him many times, he finally got saved this Sunday. Tonight he came back to church and said he already felt a peace that he had never had before. Praise the Lord! We all are elated at this gigantic breakthrough! The Lord is continually blessing this ministry.
