To say the least, the last two months since our last report have been eventful. Having been kept close to our home base due to daily appointments for radiation therapy has not kept us from keeping busy in following God's leadership in our ministry to the Balkan States.
Things are going well in Macedonia as preparations continue for building a new church building int he village of Konjuh. This building will provide a home for a mission work now meeting in a home in Konjuh as well as another mission work in the close-by village of Beljakovce. A water well will be part of the project which will serve the entire community. This will add value to the church's being there from the community's perspective and will hopefully be another tool of God used in reaching the unsaved who need the Living Water Jesus talked about in John 4. The merging of these two works will better use existing resources and allow us to have a stronger presence for the Lord in this entire region. Pastor Marjan reports that two ladies attended a service in Konjuh this past month and accepted Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. Praise the Lord!
The other church in Kumanovo, Pesirivo, Amzibegivo, Erdzillia, and Rankovce are all doing well. The Good News Church in Kumanovo reports one new person in attendance since our last report as does the Good News Gypsy Church in Kumanovo. As soon as funds are available, we have hopes to merge the missions of Pesirivo, Amzibegivo, and Erdzilla into one church. These three villages are very close and, again, resources will be better used if they could all three meet together.
On a personal note, please accept our sincere gratitude for the offerings, phone calls, emails, cards, letters, and outpourings of your love in this difficult time for Pam and I. I am currently about half way through my radiation and chemotherapy treatments. I have sensed the presence of the Lord with me through this whole ordeal and I know it is in a great part because of your faithful prayers on my behalf. What more can I say but, "Thank you!" A special thanks to those who said they have plans to take us on for monthly support. Your financial support is needed now more than ever.
We have hopes of being back on the road by late July or early August. Plans are made to go to the field in October, the Lord willing. Please pray that we will be able to meet these goals as planned.
Please pray for the precious people of Macedonia, especially the new believers in Konjuh. Please pray for Marjan and Zoya Angelovski and the other pastors there as they faithfully serve our Lord. Thank you, again, for partnering with us in this great work.
In Christ for Macedonia,
Lou Hill
