GBC9 Sound Room Window 02

Oklahoma Update, March 2023 - My Presentation video may be viewed on my website at www.ferventheat.com on the home page. - Work on the building continues with the work on the remaining pluming nearing completion. The doors for the two rooms on the platform, and both restrooms have been installed. The sound room is also making progress with the flooring, and cutting the opening for the window. The actual sound system will come later. The nursery is in the works. - We still have some needs to obtain a number of items to complete the work on the building. If you would like to help either financially, or physically, please contact Pastor Ellis at my home church at (918) 647-3744. - While working to ready the church building for use, we are presently continuing to have our Sunday Service at the VFW. Bro Weber has been doing much of the preaching in anticipation of his future roll as Pastor of Genesis Baptist Church. I’m leading the congregational singing to be a help. Weekly door knocking continues around the Wilburton area. We are anticipating, that once in our own building with a more traditional schedule, other visitors may attend the service as one individual has already indicated (she still has one of our tracts from about a year ago). - A couple of weeks ago, the nephew of one of our members, came in early with her from out of town. He is a young man of 16 years, and has been brought up strongly in a Church of Christ. Before the service Pastor Ellis tried to ask him about his soul, only to hear the classic, "I've been baptized." A short time later, he was handed a Bible (from the BEAMS ministry), and went to ask our Preacher if he could take it home. This was an opportunity to share some Scriptures with him about how salvation is purely by grace, with no works (not even baptism) included. After Bro. Weber preached, AJ immediately walked the aisle straight to Bro. Ellis, and was very ready to quit trusting his works, and trust Jesus alone for the forgiveness of sin! Please pray for him, as he lives too far away for us to minister to him, and has many obstacles to deal with in his home if he takes a stand for Jesus.
