Ipa (or Darryl) with whom I am currently having evangelistic

Bible studies. He has attended our church on/off for MANY

years, and did make a profession of faith five-six years

ago. However, when he recently asked me about

getting baptized, I talked with him once again to be sure he

was “clear” on salvation. He does NOT feel that he really

understood what he was doing when he made his previous profession, so please pray that he will

have a clear understanding of salvation now.

3. Kim has been pleased that a few of her “Friday only” teen girls have recently begun attending Sunday

hope and that many would turn to Christ. Pray for our authorities,

for our President and the government, for the police and military, for

all the medical personnel in Paris. Pray for the safety of french believers as worship places are

possible targets for other jihadists.”

Those of us ministering on the ground in Zambia are

constantly amazed at what God is doing at Central Africa

Baptist College & Seminary! The ministry of Central

Africa Baptist College & Seminary is a ministry that is

made possible by the prayerful support of mission-minded

churches. We need your continued support in 2016. We also

ask God to raise up many additional partners to help us train the next generation of Servant-

Leaders in Africa for Great Commission living.

Hutchins, Jon & Patty-Brazil [email protected]

We are thankful for God’s continued work at Igreja

Batista Esperança over the past few months. God is

raising up elders and deacons from within the flock that

have great potential to lead the church onward and

upward. We are especially excited about Maicon’s

growth as a pastor. Over the past 5 years he has proven

his calling to pastoral ministry, especially the ministry

of the Word.

proportions and have alerted the Ministry of Health of this need. We praise the Lord for this open

door and ask for wisdom as we go forward in this work.

Connect with Chiesa Biblica Battista di Grosseto on FB

https://www.facebook.com/Italy4Christ

Gaetana (Stompanato) Maietta – On September 3, 2015, the

day of her 78th birthday, Gaetana finally met her loving Savior

face-to-face. Easter Sunday morning, 1968, was the first time

Gaetana had ever been to a Bible-preaching church. On that

morning, with her three small children (Daniel, Susie and

Lisa), as she sat inchurch in Melrose Park, Illinois, Pastor John

Marchese preached and Gaetana received Jesus Christ The

history of Chiesa Biblica Battista di Grosseto can undoubtedly

be traced back to 1986, when Gaetana moved back to Italy after

having lived in Chicago for many years. A deep desire to see a

Bible-preaching church planted in Grosseto, led her to witness to lost folks around her and pray that God

would send a pastor/missionary. Several folks were saved over the years, and many missionaries labored to

help get the church started there. In 2006, the Lord led us to Grosseto, and He used these verses to confirm

in our hearts His leading: “Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by

constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God's heritage,

but being ensamples to the flock" (1Peter 5:2-3).

Jeremiah-13 (6/20/02)

Juliana-10 (6/27/05)

Joshua-6 (1/27/10)

We are currently holding 5-6 personal Bible studies/counseling sessions,

teaching at the college (Youth Ministry),and teaching/preaching 4

services each week. We are very thankful for the fruit God is producing,

but we are praying for wisdom and laborers for the work while the fruit is

ripe and before it is lost. Thankfully, Ray, a young man needing

counseling, accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior and is hungry to

grow. Christian is facing some personal struggles and needs

prayer. Maggie has been meeting with Laura and me, and has been doing

well, but just got a full-time job which could distract her. Maritza has

asked for church membership, but while meeting with her we have found that she has never been taught God's Word

and has many good questions. Mandy has also gotten a job and he also needs continued prayer to stay faithful in his

dedication to the Lord and testimony to his family. In spite of our busy weekly schedule, church attendance has been

very low lately, so please pray that our people see the need to be faithful to services. The island is facing extreme

economic problems and they are affecting our people and other ministries on the island. As a family we are doing

well. With our busy schedule, Laura and I are both tired and having some back trouble. We also have some

construction projects that must be continued on the building which can affect our energy and back pain.

Melton, Pat & Wanda-Japan [email protected]

1). Jennie and Beverly two young ladies from the Philippines came to Japan

several months ago. They started working at the cleaners I sometimes take

my cleaning. The Lady at the counter asked if I were the “priest” in the Oga

area of our city, I responded, “No, but I’m presently the missionary pastor

there”. She replied, “good” the two young ladies mentioned above wanted me

to pray with them, then hurried to the press room and brought forward. I

introduced myself then we moved away from the busy cash register. We

bowed our heads and I prayed for them. I invited them to attend our church

services. The next Wednesday, their day off work the proprietor brought

them to prayer meeting. We invited them to have the evening meal every

Wednesdays with us. One evening my wife engaged them in a Bible conversation. When they became

more interested I showed them salvation passages, their interested continued until I asked them if

they would like to trust Jesus Christ as personal Savior. Jennie immediately responded in the

affirmative, but Beverly hesitated. Jennie prayed to receive Jesus Christ as her personal Savior.

She started reading a chapter from the Bible daily and growing steadily. We talked to Beverly

several times and finally their last Wednesday at church I Beverly said she had trusted Jesus

Christ as her Savior. Those two young ladies are back in Cebu in the Philippines. Please pray for

them that they will grow, read the Bible and follow the Lord, be a witness to their Catholic family

and friends.

2). I am presently writing an evangelist tract, in Japanese for Japanese in Japan for mass

distribution. I need to finalize it, get it proof read by Japanese pastors, get it to a printing

company and order several thousand. Please pray each step the Holy Spirit will guide and direct.

Our church presently has funds enough to print several thousand.

3). I received a thousand tracts I ordered last week to start daily tract distribution, but it

has been very cold recently for me to get out on my motor bike, please pray I’ll be able to get back

to house to house tract distribution putting a gospel tract in individual Japanese mail boxes and

inviting people to our church services.

4). Please pray for Mrs. Hara’s family members that “seem” to be saved but inactive in

church attendance.

5). Please pray for Mr. Takasugi who attends our church at least once a month, although not

saved still shows interest.

6). Mrs. Murayama a faithful member of our church had a stroke last year and has been

unable to attend our church services because of her half paralyzed condition.

Please give our warm regards to the Saints at Community Baptist Church with a huge thank

you for their participation in our ministry here in Japan by way of prayer and monthly support

without which we could not continue our full time ministry work in Japan.

Melton, Phil and Debbie- Japan [email protected] Please pray for our ministries as we plan to begin

construction of our new church building in April.

Academy kindergarten next spring.

Pray for plans to start a Japanese church as soon as

1. Our eldest son Robby who will be heading to the States in

March to prepare for Bible College. Loosing him will hurt

as he is a real asset in the ministry!

2. I have been having some trouble with high blood

pressure. The drs feel it is probably due to pain from creaky

knees (one of which was replaced in 2014 and the other

needs to be).

Peterson, Lee & Janelle- South Africa [email protected]

We are praying for our own church property. More young people/

families to come to church. Salvation of Michel’s family (Mormon)

Rooney, Tom & Addie- United Kingdom [email protected]

We praise the Lord that we were able to send our permanent residence visa application to the UK

immigration officials today. Through the generous gifts of several supporting churches, the Lord

provided the amount needed for the application fees. We have also been able to send it in before

Olivia turns 18. That should allow her to obtain permanent residency status as well. Please

continue to pray for the processing of the application. The whole visa process can take up to six
