At not quite 9 a.m. on Thursday 23 July, a light rain was falling when two women knocked at our door. They had walked at least 4 kilometers to come to our home. Tony and Jason's coffee and sandwich basket was beside the front door, because it was time for Tony to leave to make visits with Jason. I dried my hands and left the sinkful of dishes. After I'd made coffee for my unexpected visitors, I sat down at the kitchen table and asked the younger woman what had brought her to our door this morning.
The older woman,Willa (shown below with her husband, Jan), 
is a faithful member of Immanuel Baptiste Kerk (IBK) where Pastor Kevin and Sister Lydia Simpson are ably leading that flock. For years, Willa's youngest daughter, Margaux, has been on the prayer list at IBK. Margaux answered my question and told me that she'd come to a crisis and a crossroad. While we were still at IBK, we had witnessed to Margaux and plead with her to leave the life she was leading, but this particular morning God was drawing her to Himself. 
It was a rare privilege to share Christ with someone who knocked on OUR door. It was a joy to hear her pray and confess her sins and place her faith in Christ. We are thankful she is attending IBK and we are praying for God to grow her there.

One Sunday last month he brought Faiza and her young children. 
Faiza has returned to visit the services several times. When Tony and I stopped by to visit her two weeks ago, we met her husband, Allistair. While I talked to Faiza in the kitchen area of their one room home, Tony sat on the bed with Allistair and shared the gospel with him. Faiza shared with me about her difficult childhood. They lived on the streets and her mother died while she was young. Allistair's eyes filled with tears while Tony witnessed to him. The following Sunday, Allistair was in church 
and heard the gospel again when Tony preached from John 4 on the woman at the well. Jason, Tony and Jeremy have all made follow-up visits. Recently, Jason offered to teach Allistair to read. We are praying for him to be converted and learn to read the Word of God.
