Welcome Visitors
Yesterday, Lords' Day afternoon, I was privileged to be responsible for the preaching of the Gospel at an Assembly gathering in Weston -s- Mare in Somerset, S.W. England.
A good number attended, (numerically "good" in this part of the Country,) including a few unsaved ones which was encouraging.
At the close of the meeting I was able to shake hands with many there and hold little conversations, but mainly with the saints. I approached a young man who smiled as I drew near making me feel comfortable in speaking to him. His English was poor, but we were able to converse. He informed me that he was Kurdish! Seeing the open door to the Gospel Hall he just decided to come in. Standing next to him was another young man whom I had met a few times before when ministering the Word on a Thursday morning there at Waterloo Gospel Hall. He is saved, but is afflicted in his mind and spends periods in some sort of care facility. Rob, this young believer had a further talk with the Kurdish youth and informed me to my amazement that he was a Muslim! I imagined that when the Word of God was opened and publicly read, that he would have exited the Hall more quickly than he had entered! But he stayed to the end and lingered afterwards too.
Please pray for him, he told me his name, but being partially deaf and the name being "strange" I feel unhappy at hazarding an effort at spelling it; but the Lord knows him in infinite fullness. Please pray for Rob too, as these gravely difficult seasons take a hold upon his mind.
Neither young man were there last night by coincidence, nor indeed any who came along; so please with us "roll" this burden upon the Lord, the faithful, unchanging God of the impossible.
