Dear Friends in Christ,
All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee (Psalms 145:10). We praise God for all His mighty works and we praise God for each and every one of you who have partnered with us in the work here in Monument, CO.
I do apologize for the delay in getting this letter out. We have been facing a very trying and difficult family situation that I can’t give any details about right now, but I do ask that you will earnestly pray for my family—for God’s grace and for His wisdom. He knows where we are, and He knows exactly what we need. Thank you so much, it really means a lot to us to know we have folks all over the continent praying for us. Your prayers over the years have been vital to what God is doing here.
In the last letter I mentioned that we were gearing up for the 4th of July parade here in Monument. I am pleased to tell you that with the help of our church folks and a family from our sending church, we were able to pass out over 2400 tracts, John and Romans, and church invitation cards. We have seen some fruit from it as well, with one family regularly attending now because of the invitation they received. We are also confident that God will continue to work through the effort. We were able to present the Gospel fully to one young man that day. Please pray for Dave. He didn’t accept Christ, but he listened very intently. He was travelling through but promised he would visit the church the next time he was in town.
In mid September we were honored to be a part of the Missions Conference at our sending church, Penrose Baptist Church. The theme was Walking by Faith and the challenge was “What is the next step of faith God wants you take in the area of supporting missions?” Pastor Dave Brown from Yakima Bible Baptist Church in Yakima, WA was the main speaker. We were blessed to be a part of it and meet some other missionaries as well.
Probably the greatest news I have since the last letter is that my 16 year old son got saved at camp this summer. He had made a profession of faith years ago, but we just hadn’t seen any fruit. My wife and I have been praying and fasting for him for years. The change we have seen in him has been nothing short of miraculous. We are praising God every day for the work He did! Please join with us now in prayer for Dawson as he grows in his relationship with the Lord. He has begun a discipleship course with his pastor (me). We can’t wait to see what the Lord will do with him now.
Little by little Victory Baptist Church is being found by folks looking for a good, traditional, Bible preaching church and our group is growing. Please pray for our outreach efforts, that we will have an impact for Christ in the community, but mostly that we will see souls saved.
We are so grateful to all of you for your support. We love you and pray for God to bless you greatly.
In His service,
Mark DeBolt
