November - December 2011

Dear Friends:

 Eva Cecil was a faithful member here at Temple for nearly twenty years before she passed away. During that time she witnessed to her friend, Barbara, Barbara, and often brought her to church and many church functions. Barbara became a friend of Eva’s family and after Eva passed away the family continued to keep contact with Barbara.

When Ian and Marie Hutchings (Eva’s son-in-law and daughter)  opened Hope Baptist in Cannock, Barbara started attending there because of the family connection. Eventually, Barbara accepted Christ as her Savior.

 In November, Hope came to Temple for a baptismal service and Barbara,  at over 80 years of age, was baptized along with five other teenagers. The crowd cheered! I am sure that Eva cheered from Heaven as well!

Stories like this encourage us to keep on witnessing and, like the husbandman, wait patiently wait for the rain!

Thank you for your prayers and support!
