Pastor Kevin Medcalf shares that two families are about to join Providence Presbyterian Church, and two others are very interested. The church has seen more visitors lately as well. Some recent visitors came due to dire circumstances in their lives; they realized they “needed to get back in church”. Another family visited because they are neighbors to a family in the congregation who has been reaching out to them for some time. “We are so thankful for the Lord sending people our way. Pray that we can minister to them!” Plans are being made to incorporate into the church some of the things Kevin learned from the Reformed Evangelism class (MTIOPC).

The focus of the study is evangelism, and it is hosted in the Lopez home with a shared meal afterwards. So far, it’s going well, and participation is good.

Pray, too, that the churches of Virginia Beach would have a renewed sense of the urgency of the Gospel and that they would be faithful witnesses of Christ in our community.” Reformation continues to grow well, and they hope to have a congregational meeting in late July or early August to elect officers, approve bylaws, call a pastor,

Pastor Bob Holda shares that Resurrection Presbyterian Church (RPC) continues to grow, with two people about to join and seven moving toward membership. Bob also shares the praise that their lessor has been very gracious and is interested in keeping their group there for the long haul. RPC has begun their neighborhood walks again and it has been a good opportunity to offer prayer for the various needs in the community. On one recent walk it was just Bob and his young daughter. She saw a house with a decorative star, thought it was pretty, and asked to stop. Since they had already stopped at that house on a previous walk, Bob was tempted to dismiss this request, but he decided that it wouldn’t hurt to pay a visit. It turned out that the
