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

First of all, we thank you for the many nice and kind remarks that we heard from you regarding the June 13th, 2005 Progress Report. Indeed it was miracle letter. We praise God and we thank you again.

We are Baptists with a big "B" because we are the only denomination that has stood the test of time. Our Baptist Distinctives and our Doctrine have withstood all winds of teachings for 2,000 years and our faithfulness has been even unto death: "be thou faithful unto death (Rev. 2:10)". We are rooted in the past, aware of what is going on around us in the present and will come out victorious in Christ Jesus. There is going to come a time when the torch of persecution will flare up again and we are going to turn out conquerors in Christ Jesus:"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Rev. 12:11)". So since we are Baptists with a big "B", and as always, it is the highlight of our ministry to report to you that Sunday July 6th we had a baptismal service in Beth Abra at the Jordan River. Four people got baptized; two of which were our own younger son Peter who is 10 years old and our own daughter who is 8 years old. So all of our 3 children are now baptized. When Ruth and I got married 12 years ago, we asked the Lord Jesus to give us children that will grow up to be His. All three of then have gotten saved and the three of them have gotten baptized and the three of them are soul winners! Blessed Be God.

The other two to get baptized were a husband and wife, a younger couple. The husband Hanna who is 27 and his wife Tamara who is 26 are jewels. They god saved recently and are on fire for the Lord. They have a 6 month old daughter. Their Catholic relatives tried to enforce infant baptism on the child but Hanna and Tamara took a stand for the Lord and refused to baptize the child anti scripturally in spite all the persecution from their Catholic parents.

At present everybody sees that Hanna and Tamara have a definite call to the ministry and all indications show that Hanna will be the future pastor of this the church that we are planting here in Jerusalem, Israel. Hanna and Tamara are a miracle of the Lord Jesus. You do not make such couples. Heaven makes then and sends them! We had a very active soul winning visitation summer with only 4 people saved. A young man age 18, another man age 48, a young girl age 16, and a younger girl age 13. We were kicked out rudely from only two houses! I was harassed by a Jew once and was chased by a Moslem another time.

We thank all of you who helped us this quarter with the condo fund. Our debt shrank from U.S.$ 59,000.00 to U.S.$ 54,200.00 as at August 31st, 2005. In Hebrew that means we still owe U.S.$ 54,200.00, in Jewish that means we need your help, and in Christian that means pray with us!

Thank you for allowing us to be your missionaries on the field of Israel and we thank God for each and every one of you and we pray for you all by name on a list that we read so that we do not miss out anyone. Again thank you and God Bless You!!!
