Praise and Prayer Points

• Praise God for answering prayer: providing increased support last month and healing Caleb's fever yesterday.
Please continue to pray for us in October:
• For Brenten's teaching through the book of Isaiah this month, that it would draw our fellowships closer to Jesus.
• For Martin, the new believer who was baptized that he would hide God's word in his heart as we meet together regularly.
• For the teen age orphans that we'll meet with monthly, that they would acknowledge the truth and commit to Christ.
• For God's provision if we should visit Monterey in January 2010 or for patience if it's His will that we wait until next winter.

Got a minute for missions?

This is Brenten from Calvary Latvia saying hello to Calvary Santa Cruz,
I heard you are doing a spaghetti dinner to support our ministry, so I wanted to say thank you! And I hope you enjoy all the spaghetti you are going to eat. (:
This is a one minute update about what we’ve been doing this summer

• We’ve been enjoying the freedom and the warm weather to preach the gospel on the streets, and I began preaching open air in the center of Riga, and there’s been a great response from the crowds that have gathered.
• One young man named Martin got saved and was baptized in the Baltic sea. That was a little bit cold but it was such a thrill.
• Also we went into an orphanage, we are sharing food and the gospel with about 70 kids who had never heard the gospel before.
• Everyone in the church is growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus as I’m teaching through the Old Testament. You can listen to those Bible studies online at CalvaryLatvia.com
  

Be encouraged! God is working! But please continue to pray for us. Thank you.

Prayer update

We'd appreciate your prayers as we head into the Fall of 2009. Please pray for...
1. Finances. Pray for more individuals and churches to support us monthly.
2. Church. Pray for both the home fellowship in Ogre and church in Riga to abide in the Word.
3. For Martin, a new believer who wants to be baptized, needs boldness to tell his family.
4. Orphans. We have been sharing the gospel with them this summer, pray for changed lives.
5. Health. As Caleb goes back to kindergarden, pray that we don't get sick before winter.

Instant Focus Latvian Translation

If you have trouble seeing (up close or at a distance), put the hole up very close to your eye, and it should sharpen your focus. Keep this card in your wallet or purse and please make sure you read the back.

Someone gave you this card because they want you to focus on the most important issue of your life – where you will spend eternity. How do you find out? Simply pinpoint the Ten Commandments. Have you lied? Stolen (anything)? Blasphemed? Jesus said, "Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart." On Judgment Day, will you be found to be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell?

The Bible warns that all liars, thieves, fornicators, and adulterers will end up in Hell. But God Himself made a way for you to be forgiven. Jesus suffered and died on the cross to satisfy the demands of God's Law -"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Then He rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent and trust Him. Then read the Bible daily and obey what you read. Muziba.blogspot.com
