The Summer Brenton

As I look back I wonder to myself how I am going to sum it all up.  I think the best way is to show you where we started and the where we ended.  The reality that we came into was that our believers were disconnected, they did not know how to share their faith nor did they want to.  The team before us had not seen anyone come to know the Lord. They were discouraged.  We also knew that the Lord wanted us there.  With those things in mind we went to work.  By the end we saw 7 people come to know the Lord.  Our believers were becoming a community. They wanted to share their faith and were actively pursuing it.

In the past two decades we have seen the Lord do awesome works in both Russia and China, places where the gospel seemed at first to hit hard soil.  I believe that the hard soil of the Middle East is the next to become rich fruit bearing soil.
