May - June 2009
Dear Pastors, Prayer Partners, Family & Friends,
A little more than two years ago, we had the privilege of
leading a dear lady named Delyth to the Lord. Delyth has been
very faithful and has a real heart for the Lord. She’s been
baptized, gone through our discipleship program, is involved in
one of our weekly Ladies’ Bible studies, and also serves each
Sunday morning by doing our Welsh scripture reading. One of
Delyth’s constant prayer requests has been to see others in her
family come to a saving knowledge of Christ also. On the 30th of
March her prayers were answered – her daughter Lisa asked Christ
into her heart and life!! Please pray for Lisa as she begins her
walk with the Lord. She has a rough past and years of bondage to
drugs, alcohol, etc. that pull at her. Living in a small village
where everyone knows you and the only thing you know is going to
the pub, is going to be a very difficult transition for her.
Lisa has two children, Liam who is 13, and Sasha who is 11. We
are committed to helping this family be restored and healed, and
are hopeful that Lisa will allow God to be glorified in her life
as she walks in obedience. What a testimony her changed life
could be to our village!!
As mentioned in our last prayer letter, we had a ministry team
visit us in April. They were such an encouragement and blessing
to the people of Libanus Baptist and the students at Hillgrove
School! Because of the short notice, we were not able to get
them into the other schools as we had hoped. However, this visit
has opened doors for the future and they will be returning again
for two weeks in May next year. There were several that showed
an interest in being saved throughout the week’s activities, and
we have been able to personally speak with three young men that
confirm that they personally prayed and asked Christ to be their
Saviour! These are young people that regularly attend our Friday
night outreach. We will be following up some others that we know
of that showed an interest so that we can help them either make
a decision or help them grow in their decision. One of the
children that showed great interest is Delyth’s granddaughter,
Naomi. She expressed that she wanted to be saved, but her
parents told her that she didn’t need to be saved because she
had been Christened as a baby. Naomi has had a lot of questions
and we want to be very sensitive in this situation because of
her parents. Please pray for her and her parents as the Holy
Spirit works in this family. Delyth, of course, is thrilled by
Naomi’s interest and is really praying that this will be a
spiritual influence on her son and daughter-in-law (Neil &
Justine). Naomi’s little brother, Marcus, has also started
coming to our Sunday school as well! One by one, Delyth is
praying that her whole family will come to know Christ as she
has!
Kevin, of course, has returned from visiting his dad (Wally) and
is so thankful for the time he was able to spend with him. Wally
is getting weaker every day and has found out that on top of the
liver failure, he also has Parkinson’s Disease. We would
appreciate your continued prayers for his salvation.
(See note below)
Lastly, we want to mention again that we are planning to be back
on furlough from mid-summer 2010 through mid-summer 2011. If you
have not already done so and would like us to come and report to
your church, please let us know as soon as possible so that we
can get you on our calendar.
In His Service,
Kevin & Kim Davis
