Answered Prayer

Answered Prayer
We love the thought of our God being One who ever hearkens to and answers the prayers of His own people. (The answers are not always what we desire or expect, but He EVER answers!)
A little town in the Ewenny Valley in South Wales U.K. is the "home" of a small company of believers gathered to the Name of our Lord Jesus alone. A little faithful testimony has been borne there for many decades.
A number of years ago their hall had to be demolished, leaving them to find other accommodation so as the witness for the Lord could continue there, should it please Him.
The Assembly has been forced to remove to different premises over the years, mainly renting "denominational" buildings. Now they have been informed that the building they presently use is to be sold and they must vacate it by "Christmas."
Cast upon the Lord for yet another premises they also sought the prayers of a number of believers who happily responded.
The Lord graciously overruled and undertook for them! A building has been made ready for their use without any of the restrictions placed upon them as experienced previously. (e.g. only being available for the Lords' Day,) indeed they have exclusive use of it! It is a much better site in every way and the rent is less too, and includes lighting, heating and water!
There is no "evangelical" witness there in the town whose population exceeds 9,200!
How gracious is our God and in providing a place of gathering for His own especially to remember His lovely Son; and to grant in His long suffering a longer period of gospel testimony to the precious, but perishing, souls of that town.
I am sure you will join with me in giving thanks to our "great God and Saviour" for this another token of His unceasing care for us, and for the encouragement of our hearts too.
