Isaiah 40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, [that] the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? [there is] no searching of his understanding.
July was a busy month in preparation for our first major outreach event in Brownwood. We spent many hours preparing for Vacation Bible School to be held at the Brownwood Housing Authority’s Wendell Dodds Community Center. We were blessed with several people from churches all over the state of Texas volunteering to help us with VBS, and several churches sending us VBS supplies. God blessed our efforts the first weekend of VBS (Aug. 2) with 20 kids present, one adult from the apartment complex and nine volunteers for a total of 30 people. One teenage girl repented of her sins and trusted Jesus Christ as her Savior. She has since decided to follow her Lord in Baptism and will join our mission in Brownwood. We are also seeing doors opening to minister to other families in the Brownwood Housing Authority.
We have a couple attending services in our home with us, as well as the girl who was saved at VBS. Our plans are to continue VBS at the apartment complex every Saturday in August, hopefully seeing more souls saved and the Lord adding more to His church. Most of the people we come into contact with at the apartment complex have no basic understanding of the Gospel. There are religiously lost people in Brownwood, but not at the apartments. I feel that this will be a good fishing hole for us.
