The Nathan Brock Family

We have moved

2010-12-02T08:18:00.002-05:00

Hello to one and all. I have move sites again. We are once again located at www.evengelismwithoutborders.com. Thanks to those that take time to read and keep up with us with the few post that we make. You can also find me on Face Book.

Bible Conference

2010-04-03T23:54:00.002-04:00

In February we were blessed to have Dr. Samuel Gipp come to Saint Lucia. He preached a Bible conference, mostly on the King James Bible. On night one he gave the basic background of the Bibles that we have in the world today. Night two was about the history of the translations from the time of the Apostle Paul up till 16ll. Night three he talked about the originals and the advantages of what we have today verses what was available back when. On the fourth night he showed a comparison of several translations with the KJV. (I really enjoyed that night.) The last night he talked about a couple problem text in the KJV. One of such is the word “Easter” in Acts 12:4.
We had a wonderful time. Most of the teaching I agreed with, some I did not. What did happen? I came away from that meeting with a greater appreciation for my Bible. I have read more in the last month that I did months before. I have come to the conclusion that I have heard SOOOO many preachers say be fore. “We don’t read our Bibles enough.”

2009-12-03T23:48:00.000-05:00

The Brock family is all healthy at this time praise the Lord.
In September, I cracked a rib. That has completely healed, and I am well enough to exercise and have fun with the kids.
I am also proud to announce that Monica is expecting another baby. She is due July 21st. We had our first doctor’s visit yesterday and all looks well. We are trying to decide where to have the baby. Pray that God will give us peace about the right decision.

Youth Camp 2009

2009-07-29T16:11:00.002-04:00

July the 20th through the 24th was youth camp. We had a great time with the teens. There were 44 young people from five different churches represented. The theme of the camp was “Give my Thine Heart”. The camp director, David Lindsey, invited two preachers from the States to preach each day. We also had a professor from Spartan Medical University come each morning and teach on the heart and the similarities on the physical heart and the spiritual heart. The preaching line up could not have been better. I have posted a lot of pictures on my Face Book page, www.facebook.com/Rev.nathanbrock.
Five young people came forward during the services of the week to accept Christ as Saviour. Please pray that God will continue to work in the hearts of all those that attended.

Church Crusade

2009-05-29T01:33:00.000-04:00

Brother Eric Lee preached a wonderful crusade for us. It was the third full week of May. We praise the Lord for the seven that came forward for salvation. Pray that each of these people will grow in faith and they will allow God to make real changes in their lives.

Leadership Conference

2009-05-16T01:22:00.000-04:00

Brother Eric Lee, a preacher from my home church, came to St. Lucia in May. He preached a Leadership conference for us. We had several churches participate. It was such a blessing. The main theme of the conference was, “working together”. We had a wonderful time of fellowship and learning.

Tract Distribution

2009-05-12T01:07:00.000-04:00

In April we received a container of 2,000,000 gospel tracts. Our original plan was to get just enough tracts for our surrounding area. As time and talk went on it grew into a much larger project. Fellowship Tract League sent 200 boxes of tracts and we are setting up a tract distribution center for the southern Caribbean here is Saint Lucia. Faith, Hope, and Ethan are filing orders and boxing tract to send to Trinidad and Jamaica.

Two flat tires and one van in the ditch

2009-05-08T22:55:00.001-04:00

Last Saturday a pastor friend, Chester McDonald, came to our house. When he pulled over to the side of the road he hit the curb and busted his tire. When we found the spare it was bald and had a leaking plug in the side wall. We pumped it up real quick and he decided to make a dash for home. I told him if he needed me for any reason to call.
Sunday morning while I was teaching Sunday School my cell phone rang. It was Chester. He said the tire had blown out again while he was picking up people for church. He said he was calling for my help. WOW! Now what was I supposed to do? I told one young man, Randal, to finish teaching Sunday school, and told Brother Blade to get ready to preach. Then I left the church to go help brother Chester. I picked up Chester, his wife, and their baby off the side of the road and then finished his bus route for him. They only arrived thirty minutes late for their Sunday school. I left their church and rushed back to our church to hear most of the morning message. Brother Blade preached a great message on ways the Devil defeats us. As soon as service was over I took our people home. Before I reached my house Chester called again. His service was finished and they all needed a ride home.
Brother Chester ate lunch with us and then I took him to his van to see if we could get it home. After calling around we found another preacher who would let us borrow his spare tire. On the way back from collecting the spare tire we met another van in a narrow spot on the road. As we passed one another the other van slid into the ditch. It looked rough. We waited by the side of the road until enough men and a truck was there to pull him out. We were just thankful that no one was hurt.
During this time me and Brother Chester had good time talking about the ministry and trying to work together. He invited us to a youth meeting that his church has with another church. Tonight our church, Solid Rock, along with another Missionary and church went to the meeting. We had a great time of fellowship and fun. We even had a little food. I think there were a total of five churches represented there tonight. Please continue to pray for us all here that God will work in our midst.
Thanks for your time and prayers.

Brother Miller

2009-04-28T11:55:00.003-04:00

In one of our prayer letters of 2008 we requested for someone to come to St. Lucia for an extended mission trip. Brother Dave Miller is the man that answered the call. Brother Miller flew into St. Lucia on April 14. He has been a great help for us thus far. On April the 15th our container of tracts arrived in St. Lucia. He helped us to unload the container and to organize the 200 boxes of tracts. In the past two weeks. He has been visiting either with us alone five times, ran several errands in town for us, copied lessons for our Bible Institute, and made a couple of repairs around the house. He is staying across the street in a vacant house that is owned by another mission organization. The house does not have hot water, a refrigerator, or a stove. That's almost like being in boot camp. Brother Miller will be staying with us until June the 15th. We praise the Lord for him coming. Keep us all in your prayers.

Another Soul Saved

2009-04-27T23:19:00.003-04:00

This has been a very eventful two weeks. The container arrived. Brother Miller came from Indiana for a mission trip. We had three get saved last week on visitation. Then, last night there a teenage girl got saved at Solid Rock Baptist Church. I was not there for the service because I was preaching at Vision Baptist, the church we are starting. My e-mail is down right now and this is the only way I am getting news out at this time. God Bless and stay in touch.

Church material has arrived.

2009-04-25T02:29:00.003-04:00

I would love to write a longer post, but I am really running short on time. I did want you to see a couple pictures of the container of tracts and church material that came last week. It is a blessing to see all the work that Christians have put forth to put these materials in our hand. I would like to say a HUGE thank you to Brother David Wood with Frontline Global Missions, Allen Johnson with Bearing Precious Seed, my pastor (and dad) Terry Brock and Light of Calvary Baptist, and Monica’s family for their help and financial contributions to make all this possible.

Born again on Easter

2009-04-13T14:23:00.002-04:00

On Easter Sunday we had a visitor from Martinique. The lady is an aunt to Blade, one of our preachers at Solid Rock. During the service Blade had to translate for her. During the invitation Blade took her to the back of the church where she received Christ as her Saviour. Praise the Lord!!!

Happy Easter

2009-04-11T20:03:00.001-04:00

The weeks and months are passing quickly. The family is doing well, the weather is getting warmer again, and the churches are hanging in there. We have been waiting for a container of tract and other materials for several months. We were told this week that the container was now in St. Lucia and ready for delivery. However, we have to wait for the Easter holidays to expire. We have a friend from Indiana coming down for a mission trip. Brother Miller will be staying for several weeks to help us organize the 200 boxes of tract from the container.

A Little Catch Up

2009-01-24T10:04:00.001-05:00

Monica and the kids left Saint Lucia for a month in the States on November 22nd It is the longest we have ever been apart. They all really enjoyed the time they had with family. They each spent time staying my parents, Monica’s aunt, and her grandmother. They also stayed a few days with best friends. The last week and a half, Monica and I were both wishing that we had booked the trip for only three weeks rather than four. They were all supposed to return on December the 22nd. Monica, Charity, Grace, and Benjamin were on buddy passes. After all seven finally boarded the plane, the four of them were asked to get back off due to lack of seats. It was good to see the three that did come in, but I sure did miss my wife! Monica and the other children finally flew in on Christmas day. Picking her up at the airport was the best Christmas present I have received in many years! I am glad we are all together again, and I am very thankful to have a wife and children that are more at home here on the field than in the States

Home Alone

2008-11-22T21:09:00.001-05:00

WOW! What a week.
Monica and I have been talking about her going to the States for a couple weeks. She could really use the break after putting up with me, the kids, school, the ministry, and the burglary. When our home church heard that we were considering this they decided to receive an offering to help with flying expenses. Then one of the ladies of the church said we could have some buddy passes of hers. Then the grandparents said they wanted to help a little too. So… short of the long is… Monica and all six kids left today to enjoy the next little while with the extended family. Keep us in your prayers. This is the longest we have been separated since… … ever. During visitation this week one lady, Cheryl, accepted Christ as Saviour. Praise the Lord!

Ministry Update

2008-11-14T23:47:00.000-05:00

I have been visiting people in the hospital for two weeks now. It is amazing how much more open people are to the gospel when they are lying on their back with nowhere to look but up. The Lord has directed me to the right patients at the right time each day. This week we had the privilege to see five come to know Christ as Saviour. We had several who said that they were not ready, and a couple have said that they have never done anything wrong or worthy of Hell. We praise the Lord for those who have listened, believed, and willingly repented of their sins!

Pop Quiz on Bible Characters ??? :-)

2008-11-12T21:33:00.001-05:00

The past two services we have had some visitors at church. Two brothers and a sister have come together. They are all between ten and thirteen years old. Before I started the message, I decided to have a pop quiz on Bible knowledge. I asked them to tell me the name of a person from the Bible and something that they did. The first one answered, “God”, and “He made fish”. The second one said, “Moses”, but he didn’t know anything that Moses had done. The third one answered, “Mary”. When I asked her what she knew about Mary, she very innocently replied, “She took her lamb to school”. We then had a short conversation about a different Mary that birthed the Lord Jesus, and how he was the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world. Please pray for Jane and her brothers that they will soon understand enough about Christ to accept Him as Saviour.

Hospital Visitation Part 2

2008-11-06T22:30:00.002-05:00

Monica and I have been volunteering at the local hospital for the last few months. Last Tuesday, I went in early and did some visiting with a Christian doctor. Two people we visited already had a Bible in the room and said they had been considering giving their life to Christ for some time. They just needed that extra encouragement. Within just a few minutes they both prayed and ask the Lord to save them. Thank God for His guiding hand!

Hospital Visitation

2008-11-05T18:12:00.001-05:00

Monica and I have been volunteering at the local hospital for the past couple of months. I go every Tuesday and help with the orthopedic clinic. It has been a real change of pace from everyday life. The orthopedic surgeon, Niddi Dagbue, is a Christian. A couple of weeks ago, we were talking about evangelizing and spreading the gospel. He suggested that I start going to the medical wards to pray with the patients. I think this will be a great opportunity to meet new people and to spread the gospel.

Thief in the night, Part 2

2008-11-05T00:15:00.000-05:00

On October the twentieth, a man came into our house and stole some money and jewelry. The past couple of weeks have been a roller coaster on the emotions of fear and thankfulness. I have been talking to several neighbors and friends, as well as the police, about the robbery. It is interesting to see some extend a hand or give advice to help. Some have come with accusations of this one or that one.
Last Thursday night before church, a friend called me to say that a man had been apprehended in a nearby village while robbing a house. I drove to the police station to get more information. The officer I talked with said that a home owner caught him climbing out of a window. They used a stick to beat him and called to the neighbors for help. When the neighbors arrived, they helped to beat him as well. According to the officer that I spoke with, an off-duty officer saw what was happening and stopped the brawl before they beat him to death. He also said that the homeowner saw a second man, but they did not catch him. The police are investigating the possibility that this could be the same man that robbed us.

New Friends

2008-11-05T00:01:00.000-05:00

Saturday we spent time with some new friends. Simon Sanganoo and his family were our guests for a fun day in Castries. We met Simon and his family about four months ago. We have become close friends after spending more and more time together. Simon has been a real blessing to get to know. He is always interested in talking about issues in the Bible. He and his wife have been saved just over a year.
As a missionary in a foreign country, it takes a while to meet and make friends. It is easy to have casual friends and those that you talk to every so often. It is harder to have a close friend that you can really talk with honestly. We have spent a lot of time with Simon and his family lately. I consider him a true friend and a brother in Christ. Thank the Lord for friends!

Thanks for your time and comments

2008-10-25T01:23:00.002-04:00

I would like to take a moment to thank all those who spend their time reading our blog, and especially those who put forth the extra effort to send a comment. I know from time to time I write things that some may disagree with or find odd. From time to time I return to make changes to a post because of errors or maybe some detail that my wife said I should not have made public. I do not intend to be hypocritical with values or actions, but neither do I intend to hide fact that I am 100% human and completely capable of making mistakes and bad judgments. I hope you all can bear through all this with me. Thanks again for your time. Please feel free to contact me personally by name through the e-mail link on my profile page.

A Thief in the Night

2008-10-23T01:02:00.000-04:00

Last Monday night, we kissed the kids goodnight and went to sleep trusting that all would be well in the morning. At about 1:30 Tuesday morning, I was awakened to find that a man had been in the house going through our belongings. We immediately called the police and began to search for the intruder only to find that he had already left. We found an array of things that the burglar had taken from each room and then inspected them and discarded what he didn’t want. I ran to the van and drove through the neighborhood looking for anyone that looked suspicious. Within forty-nine minutes the police arrived, and I returned to meet them at the house. The police took a few minutes to look around and said they would return in the morning for a second look.

I would like to say that I am very thankful to have all of my family still with me and in good health with no injuries. I am convinced that nothing can touch us but what passes through the hand of God first. Praise God for His protection! A Christian brother here told me just yesterday that even though the devil attacks, God has still drawn a line that he cannot cross.
Please keep us in your prayers.

Is that in the Bible?

2008-10-06T11:35:00.001-04:00

This morning for part of our Bible time the children had a contest to see who could say the books of the Old Testament the fastest. Faith our second daughter won with a time of 13 seconds. Sometimes when trying to say things really fast you get misunderstood or accidentally say the wrong word. Later this morning Grace, our two year old, was trying to say the books. “Genesis, Exodus, Labidicus… Dothelaundry…(do the laundry). Oh well, at least she is trying, and maybe some more chores will get done.

New Ministry Opportunities

2008-10-02T15:48:00.001-04:00

Several weeks ago, we took our youngest son, Benjamin, to the emergency room to see the doctor. It was a Monday and the ER was very busy. After talking to four different people they finally decided that they did not have time to see us that day. On Tuesday, we did get to see the pediatrician. During the office visit I jokingly told the doctor that I was going to volunteer at the hospital. "That is a great idea." Replied the doctor. Within just a few short days, Monica and I were scheduled to volunteer once a week. We have been helping at the hospital one day a week for the past six weeks and loving it. The Lord has opened the doors for us to pray with several patients. We have also had several ask us about the church that we are starting in Choiseul. Being at the hospital has also given us more exposure to the people in the area. Pray for us as we endeavor to build a relationship with the people for caring for them and loving their soul.

To past two Monday's have given me the unique experience of speaking in a public school. A local pastor has been speaking in the school every Monday for quite some time. The last two Monday's the pastor was out of town and I was able to take his place. It was a real joy to speak with the elementary kids. Both weeks we read from the story of Naaman and the little maid. The first week, we spoke about the little maid, and how she showed attentiveness. The second week we spoke about Naaman and his unwillingness to obey. Pray for us that the Lord will continue to open doors for us to tell others about the Lord.

What's bugging you?

2008-09-19T14:07:00.003-04:00

Here is a rhinoceros beetle that we found a while back. Charity loves catching bugs and such. She decided to bring it home for the holidays. After torturing it for a day or so we filled its jar with alcohol and it has been preserved ever since. Grace dicided she wanted to hold him for a picture.

Youth Camp

2008-08-30T23:31:00.003-04:00

Youth camp was August 20th - 23rd. Brother David Lindsey, another missionary here, headed up the camp and I was ask to help with the games and preach a couple of messages. About four or five churches sent youth to the camp. Several gave testimony that Lord touched their hearts during the meeting and the gospel seed was planted in several others. We are looking forward to another camp within the next year.

Long winded preacher

2008-04-21T23:33:00.000-04:00

This last Sunday was a tough one to get through. We announced that we would be having a morning Sunday School and AM service two or three days ahead. On Sunday morning two young people came. One was the young girl, Tracy, who got saved on week #2. The other might have been her little sister. I really can’t remember. The service was short and sweet. I mostly preached to my family about preparing for future service.
I had intentions on starting the PM service at 6:00, but no one was there. We started right at 7:00 with a few songs and the kids sang a couple of specials. I started preaching about 7:30. I was originally going to preach on the second coming. Before I started I asked if anyone had a question I could answer from the Bible. Thelma asked if I could speak a few minutes about having a Christian family. So, I preached on the duties of fathers, mothers, and children. Then I preached on the second coming, and then I preached a little bit on the purpose of the law. Then I spoke a few minutes about moral living. After a while I noticed my two younger children, 9 months, and 2 years, were really restless and my dear wife was starting to look tired. When I finally looked at the time it was about 10:15. WOW!!! Talk about long winded preacher. I closed the service as quick as possible, and we left for home about 10:30. When we left there were 15 – 18 people still standing outside talking.

Two more saved!!!!

2008-04-16T23:32:00.001-04:00

Last night was another wonderful crusade service. Pastor Minnville from Tabernacle Baptist church preached. He has preached each of the past three Tuesday night services. This service was especially great because we had two ladies come forward for salvation. The first was a 24 year old lady, Thelma, who has come to the crusade since day one. She is the same one I dealt with after the first service for close to an hour. She came forward during the second week and talked with another lady about salvation. This week she came forward and said she was ready to give her whole life to God. Praise the Lord!!!
The second lady is a mother of four. We stopped one day and gave her and her husband a ride home. When we mentioned the crusade she said they would like to come for a visit. She previously attended an Evangelical Church in her area. I saw that she was under conviction for a couple of nights. It was such a blessing to see her accept Christ.

I've Never Saw it on Quite This Fassion.

2008-04-09T11:49:00.002-04:00

Last night, April 8^th, we had another interesting service. Pastor Minnville, pictured in the April 5^th post, preached on the rich man and Lazarus. He preaches mostly in Patios which means my family and I don’t understand much if anything said. Each night of the crusade we have had up to twenty standing outside the building listening, talking and otherwise. About five minutes into the sermon one of the fellows outside made a negative comment. Without missing a stride Pastor Minnville walked around the corner and preached for the next thirty minutes out the window to the crowd outside. The church people “Amen-ed” him on even though most could no longer see him. Pastor Minnville is sixty-nine years old and has slowed quite a bit, but last night we saw that he still had a good firing desire to preach. It was great!

After the service Sister Minnville led a fifteen year old girl, Tracy, to the Lord. Sister Minnville called me and Tracy’s mother into the room and she told us both that she had accepted Christ.

When it rains it pours

2008-04-06T23:31:00.000-04:00

You’ve heard the phrase “It’s either rain or shine”. This Sunday we had both the same day. We had our first Sunday morning service this Sunday. (The Crusade started last Sunday night) The AM service was quite and calm with only my family attending. Ethan led the singing, the girls sang a special, and I preached on assurance of salvation. The pm service started around seven with four children. Within just a few minutes several more joined the service. There were several that came and went during the service. We had three different groups for the service; one for the singing, a second for the first half of the preaching, and a third for the second half of the preaching. In all we had about twenty that came through the service at one time or another. There were about six or seven that lasted the entire service. The biggest disturbance of the meeting was an opossum that walked through the church with a mango in his mouth. The fifteen or so people that were there scattered. Several tried running away while a few others took folding chairs to swat at it. (They like to eat them.) We never did catch it. We have two that are asking lots of questions about salvation and one couple that is interested in getting married. Please keep us in your prayers.

One down, and one to go

2008-04-05T23:28:00.000-04:00

Tonight’s meeting concluded the first week of Crusade in Mourne Sion. Last Sunday was very eventful with three children sick at home, two getting sick at church, and a flat tire with no jack. We had three other churches that brought people during the week as far as an hour and fifteen minutes away. Apart from the other churches our attendance was from four one night to eighteen on Sunday night. One received Christ as Saviour, Praise the Lord!!! There are a couple more that we are praying will come forward for salvation. The picture above is the Tuesday night service. Pastor Minnville from Tabernacle Baptist is preaching.

Another trial and error in language

2008-04-03T23:33:00.000-04:00

One night this week during the crusade I was trying to tell a young lady in Patios, “Thank you for coming tonight”. However, I confused the word “oswe-a” with “anbetan”. So what the lady heard was, “Thank you for coming tonight, troublesome”. After a good laugh at my expense they were kind enough to correct me. I have really enjoyed learning the Patios. Most are willing and able to teach you a word or two occasionally.

Our first Meeting

2008-03-31T23:00:00.003-04:00

Our first meeting in the building was Sunday night March 30th. Sunday morning three of the children were sick with the stomach virus and we all stayed home. We were hoping to get rested for the evening’s events. The Devil really fought hard to distract from the Lord’s work. Here is a basic time line of the afternoon.
· 2:00 PM. Charity, Hope, Ethan, and I left home to finish cleaning the church building, assist Pastor Minnville with an open air service, and get ready for church at 6:30 pm.
· 2:35 pm: We arrive at the building and start cleaning.
· 2:50 pm: Me and Ethan start working on the bathroom toilet. We replaced the float, the cut off, the seat, and the flapper for the night service.
· 3:55 pm: We finish the toilet and are told by the neighbor that the water is turned off daily between 5:00 and 6:00. (What good is a toilet without water?????)
· 4:01 pm: We discover we are late for the open air service. We drive to two locations and still can’t find our friends.
· 5:00: We find the group and the open air service is over. We return to the church building for final preparations.
· 6:30: Church is supposed to be starting and not one person has arrived.
· 7:00: We start church with seven people.
· 7:30: During my message Ethan and Charity leave the building. Ethan now has the stomach virus and is vomiting outside the back door. Charity went to help.
· 8:00: I begin dealing with a lady about salvation during the invitation. Oliver is also dealing with a young man.
· 8:05: No one is leading the service; no one is leading the singing. The 18 people that were there decide the service is over and decide to leave.
· 9:00: I finish talking to the lady to find an empty building. Oliver informed me that the young man he spoke with did pray to receive Christ as his Saviour. PRAISE THE LORD!!!!

· 9:30: We get all the lights off and decide to go home.
· 9:31: I discover I have a flat tire and return to the building for a quick tire change.
· 9:37: I don’t have a jack and now must borrow one from a neighbor.
· 9:45-11:00: I can’t get to the spare because the door hinge is broke. I remove the door panel and kick the door open to retrieve the spare tire. The van falls off the jack twice. We pick up the van by hand and put the jack under the van. We finally get the spare on the van and the flat one in the van. Ethan now has a fever and is complaining about being cold in 73 degree weather.
· 11:05: We start home.
· 11:09: I stop in the middle of the road so Hope doesn’t vomit in the van.
· 11:45: We arrive safely at home and thank God for the soul that was saved as I fall asleep in the bed.

A Building for Church

We finally found a building for church. A friend from Brother Nye’s church told us about this place that was once a dance hall and rum shop. The owner died several years ago. The building has been vacant since. The owner agreed to rent us the building for a couple weeks to have a crusade. The crusade will start March 30th and will continue until April 11th.

In search of a church building

2008-03-10T21:24:00.000-04:00

We have been working in the village of Mongouge for the past several weeks, trying to visit, start a couple Bible studies, find a building for a church, and become more familiar with some of the people. I and at least one of the children have gone to Mongouge six of the last seven days. We have made a few friends and have had opportunity to sing and witness to several homes. We have also been looking for a building to start a church in the past couple weeks with no success. On March the 7th a friend told us about a building in the area where we have been working. On the 8th we looked at the building and ask the owner about renting the building short term. We plan to rent the building the first two weeks of April for a crusade (revival). Pray that all will go well, that attendance from the community will be good, and that people will be saved.

First Open Air Service

2008-02-18T13:41:00.004-05:00

Our first open-air service was yesterday, February, 17, 2008. It was a joint effort with Pastor Minnville of Tabernacle Baptist Church. He brought a crow of people with him. My family went and sang a couple songs and then I preached on John chapter three. We had a few from the surrounding area come to listen. After the service my family and I spent a little time talking with folks from the community.

Sesame seeds to burgers

2008-02-16T10:52:00.005-05:00

We do not normally have sesame seed buns in St. Lucia unless you order a sandwich at KFC. This last week we found sesame seed buns at the grocery store. During supper Ethan (age 7) asked if you could plant the seeds and grow more buns. ??????????????

The kids on visitation

2008-02-15T22:40:00.004-05:00

The children have made a new friend, Macala. I'm not sure the spelling of her name is right. Macala lives across the street. They have had several days playing together. Our children have been witnessing to her regularly. They have tried inviting her to church but that never seems to work because they are faithful to the Catholic Church. They did however get her to come to a Friday night youth meeting. Pray for Macala and her family to be saved.

Our First Home Church Service

2008-02-11T10:30:00.002-05:00

On On February 10th we had our first Brock family church service. We hosted it outside our house in the gazebo. We invited several from the neighborhood, but only one came. Ethan led the singing, the girls sang a special, Faith played a special on her new harmonica, I preached a sermon, and Ethan led a song for invitation. I had two come to the altar to pray.

Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam

Last Friday we heard some rustling behind the house to find that one of the neighborhood cows was loose in the street. The kids thought it was a little strange to see a cow walking through the residential area we live. The cows here are normally kept on a leash. This one got loose. If you look close you can see the tether wrapped around its horns.

Happy Birthday Faith

2008-02-05T12:00:00.001-05:00

Our second daughter Faith, had her eleventh birthday on January 31st. The family and a few friends drove to a pizza place for a get together. There is also a small playground there. The kids had a lot of fun.

Old Friend, New Friend

2008-02-04T18:38:00.001-05:00

What a blessing it is to see old friends and have the opportunity to meet a few new ones. The young lady with Miss Monica is Verline. She was a member of Victory Baptist when we were here several years ago. Verline has since gotten married and has a beautiful little girl. They now live about an hour away. We were very happy to see her again.

Just getting started

2008-02-01T20:54:00.001-05:00

We have been working some with a young man named Oliver. Oliver was saved through our ministry here four years ago. He has since confessed a call to preach and wants to start a church in his home town, Choiseul. We have gone witnessing the past two weeks together. We are currently trying to get a couple of in-home Bible studies going. No one has agreed yet, but we are still looking and praying.

A new name in Glory

2007-11-23T15:56:00.001-05:00

Our first week in St. Lucia proved to be very fruitful. We were to privileged to lead Tevin to the Lord at a tent meeting in Dennery. We have been attending Solid Rock Baptist Church the last few weeks, where Brother Jerry Nye is starting a church. My family and I hope to be starting a church in Choisel with the help of a national pastor. Please keep these and the many opportunities for us in your prayers. I hope to have more detailed information on our website soon.
