Dear Partners in the Gospel,
Greetings in our Savior’s worthy Name. I am happy to be communicating with you once again concerning the ministry and God’s working in our midst.
By His grace, we have been able to continue teaching and preaching the Word via the electronic media and in-person on a weekly basis. We have found that attendance at the mid-week Bible study and prayer meeting has more than doubled over the last year. In recent months, we have been seeing several new faces as well as at the Sunday services, as well.
In April, we were able to take three weeks off to visit our home country, Jamaica. There we had the opportunity to minister in churches both in Montego Bay and in Kingston.
We were delighted to have our 12-year-old grandson and our daughter-in- law visiting with us for several weeks this summer. He begins high school in September, God willing.
An added blessing we had was to see a 17-year-old young lady express her faith in Christ publicly through believer’s baptism as she prepares to go to college.
Thank you for your prayers for Merle re: her recent eye surgery. She is now scheduled for surgery on the other eye, which will take place on September 30, 2022. We crave your prayers for a successful procedure.
Please pray for God’s guidance and blessing as we seek to get the Gospel out in the city of New York.
Thank you for standing with us with your faithful support in the ministry of the Gospel. May God bless you in service for the King.
Yours in His Glad Service,
Eral/Merle Lewis
