Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Yesterday June 12, 2005 was the best Sunday we have had in 14 years in the ministry in Jerusalem. We had an attendance approaching 60 with 5 people saved in one day, namely yesterday! We, and the church members too, went home to sleep but were so excited and the adrenaline rush was so high, that we couldn't sleep. Today, Monday June 13, 2005 everybody called everybody else praising God what a wonderful spiritual day yesterday was.

We are planning a baptismal service for Sunday July 3rd. We are excited and are looking forward to see who is going to obey the Lord Jesus in believer's baptism. The Israeli government renewed our visa and this is always a miracle.

The Israeli government granted us recognition as a legal church body here in Jerusalem which is even a greater miracle.

The visa that we were given was a privileged clergy visa given by the Israeli authorities; and it allowed us to buy a new vehicle duty free. Taxes on cars in Israel are 100%. So we sold our old car and bought a brand new Chrysler Voyager van for U.S.$ 30,115 that saved us U.S. $ 23,000.- in taxes. Although finances are very difficult now still we could not pass the opportunity.

Thank you again for condo funds. Like we told you in our previous Progress Report, the total contributions including those of the Piggy Banks left us a balance of U.S. $ 59,000.- to tackle. Please pray with us towards this need.

Last year we had a family immigrate to Australia and after a year of search, they last week they landed in Brother Richard Hester's church. Both they, Brother Hester, and us are very happy. The lady of the family mentioned was the best go getter in our congregation. They are still faithful seeking to live for the Lord Jesus. We are excited and happy for them and we say with John the Apostle: I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. (3 John. 1:4).

Finally brethren pray for us, we are being visited by a divine visitation. We witnessing a season of refreshing from the presence of the Lord Jesus and we are praying that it will last long.
