We are so inexperienced with newsletters updates that forgot to mention the most important thing in our September 2010 Newsletter. Please, forgive us and be patient while we are still learning to remember how and what we suppose to do and what not and must mention in our updates. We would not know our mistakes if you did not read out newsletter! Thanks to our friend who pointed out.
Here we go again!
On the 19th of September (10:30 am), Kendal Road Baptist Church will have our Commissioning Service.
This is a historical event!!! We like to mention our country's history a lot, because it is still fresh in our minds. Only 20 years ago we were under the communist regime. The purpose of Soviets was to purge religion from peoples lives. The biggest enemy of the communist regime was religion and nationalism that were closely related to one another. The Lithuanian Catholic church was the best example of this.
Today, we witness that God has been hard at work through Lithuanian believers (Catholics and Protestants working together) that never gave up their faith in times of persecution. Also western churches encouraged persecuted churches by praying for them.
We invite all our friends to pray for us, but most importantly to pray for the persecuted church that one day all those Christians would be able freely to stand up in their communities and witness the love of Christ as Psalm 30:1 says, 'I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me [us]. You refused to let my [our] enemies triumph over me [us].' Indeed, we praise God for His faithfulness!
We think that it is quite interesting for Eastern Europeans to be send by the western church, but at the same time this is a powerful witness of Christians working together for the Kingdom of God.
Peace and love,
Rimkai
