Jeff Allison's Prayer Letter

This is my dad's bi-monthy update prayer later. It was such great news I thought all should read it.

First Fruits of Moravia

PRAISE THE LORD! I am surprised that you didn’t hear us shouting when we received the news two weeks ago. Many of you have seen our DVD or have read in previous prayer letters about Alena. She is one of the ladies in Brno with whom we did the salvation Bible basics study with a year ago. We met with her for many hours answering her questions. At that time she was more concerned about what others would think of her than she was about her soul. She was honest enough to consider how her life would change when she accepted Christ as her Savior. Her husband was against it. Her family thought she was becoming a member of a cult. Finally, last month, Alena humbled herself before the Lord Jesus Christ and asked Him to save her from her sins. Less than two weeks later the Lord helped her put away a 32 year smoking habit! Glory to God I think she got the whole package, Amen? Pray for her as she begins her walk with the Lord. It will not be easy, especially until the Lord returns us to the field.

Church Services in Brno

We are very grateful to the Lord for our good friends the Reaves family out of Bible Baptist Church in Brandon Manitoba. They are serving in another city in the Czech Republic. Last week they were able to travel to Brno and hold a service with the people we have been working with. We received a great report about the service. The people were very grateful for Pastor Reaves traveling to preach to them. Several were seen to be under obvious conviction during the message. The only one in this group that is saved at this point is Alena, who was saved a couple of weeks prior to the meeting. The amazing thing about this situation is that here we have lost people coordinating things in order to have someone come and preach to them. John Mazgut called the hotels and made the arrangements for the service. They are hungry to hear from God! We beseech you by our Lord Jesus Christ to plead with Him to provide quickly that which we need in order to return to these needy people. We sowed the seed a year ago, Brother Reaves is able to water during our absence, and we trust that God will give the increase in His time. Who is Jeff Allison and who is John Reaves, but ministers by whom they will believe!
