Dear Praying Friends,
We are so thankful for
God’s continued protection during this hurricane season. We daily monitor
the Weather Channel to stay informed of any approaching storms. We are
also grateful for your prayers and financial support.
We continue to pray for
God’s leading in regard to our home construction. The banks were not real
excited to make a construction loan because of our support level. We are
confident God will provide for the construction materials in His time as He
has provided the building lot, a licensed contractor to oversee the
project, as well as all the labor commitments needed to get the job done at
no cost to us. We cleared the building lot this month and we will soon
place photos of it on our website at: www.blombergministries.com.
The church office project
is nearing completion and we anticipate beginning the church newsletter,
“A-pone-kee Shay-ah” (Word Carrier) soon. This newsletter ministry will
enable Seminole Bible Baptist Church to reach into the homes that have no
Gospel influence. Through these newsletters, filled with Bible studies and
evangelistic messages, Seminoles will see God’s alternative to a life of
despair, misery and hopelessness. Please pray for the
“A-pone-kee Shay-ah” ministry.
I had the opportunity of
leading a 39 year old Seminole man to the Lord in early September. Please
pray for Ramsey that God will bring him into the fellowship of Seminole
Bible Baptist Church where he can be nurtured and discipled. There are so
many just like Ramsey in whom I see so much potential, yet Satan, the god of
this world continues to bind them and blind them with spiritual darkness,
drugs and alcohol.
We have had several
visitors of late to our services as we have been encouraging the members to
invite others to church and to witness. Much teaching remains to be done
but progress is being made. The Seminole elder of the church expressed how
much he appreciates the fact that I ask for questions at the end of each
service. Answering the questions that have been on their hearts for so many
years is a vital part of our teaching ministry here.
Joel is doing fine at
Clearwater Christian College. He would love to hear from any who wish to
e-mail him. His address is: joelblomberg@clearwater.edu.
Two weeks ago we had the
first Communion service that the church has had in nearly 20 years. I
preached a brief message on being right with God before we partook of the
elements and three folks came forward. I sense in the church people a real
desire to please the Lord and a thirst to understand the Scriptures.
I will close this letter with a brief list of our prayer requests. Again,
thank you for your faithful prayers on our behalf and for your support as
well.
