Marriage Group Meeting

One of our new ones' son's got married on the 12th December this year. However, I was not available in town, and I had to excuse myself from attending the wedding meeting. Besides, this being a wedding conducted by the families according to the custom of the nation, the brother also felt that he would not be able to entertain us, as he would be busy with many other relatives and guests. Therefore, it worked out good for us and for them that, as the church, we visited them only after all the family functions were over and they were available for a time of prayer and fellowship, in peace. In fact, the Lord sovereignly worked out everything good for all of us. 

After all the ceremonies were done and after most of the guests had left, the brother invited us as the church for prayer and a time of group meeting at his house. As we fellowshipped with the church saints for our visitation, we also felt good to gift them gifts, including the Holy Bible, the best marriage gift that can ever be given to anyone, along with a set of Crockery and Mixer set chosen by the sisters. Even in this, we had a wonderful coordination.

On the 19th December, Friday night, we, as the church, visited the family and had a time of prayer, fellowship on the importance of marriage in the eyes of God, and enjoyed a dinner feast prepared by the family. This was the perfect time and arrangement.

We have been praying for this family, especially for their salvation. The family has been enjoying home meetings week by week for over a year now. They all believed into the Lord Jesus Christ, called upon the Lord's name every time we met, and also prayed to the Lord Jesus Christ. The father of the family, our brother, has been graciously saved by the Lord from many sinful things. Since his salvation, the Lord has been working on him and also in his business. He has been testifying that it was the Lord Jesus who blessed him in his business. Since he believed into the Lord Jesus, the Lord delivered him from many bad habits, and his family members also could sense the change. 

Acts 16:30 And leading them outside, he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, you and your household.

Acts 16:32 And they spoke the word of God to him together with all those in his house.

Acts 16:33 And he took them with him in that very hour of the night and washed their wounds. And he was baptized immediately, he and all his household.

Acts 16:34 And he brought them up into his house and set a table before them; and he exulted because he had believed in God with all his household.

May the Lord grant them the household salvation as promised in the Bible. 

May the Lord gain this family to be His pillars for His testimony among the local people.
