Valley Forge Baptist Church Missions

Dear Friends,

Some very challenging clients came to the center this week.  As we observe more and more apostasy in our churches, we are facing more challenging clients spiritually.  As unemployment rises, more clients come to us for material assistance.  Much immorality has permeated our society, so we are facing issues today we rarely, if ever, experienced several years ago.  Please continue to pray for the staff, board, and clients. 

Also, mark your calendar for Thurs., Oct. 15 as we celebrate 25 years of ministry to the tri-county community.  Many hearts have been changed over the years as seeds were sown, some came to know the Lord as their personal Savior, and  babies lives were saved.  Hundreds of men and women have labored on behalf of the Lord to make certain the Gospel was presented to clients.

Some prayer needs follow:

1. Dell met with a 35 year old that needed supplies.  She was a believer and attends a local Bible believing church.  She commented she was seeking God's will for her life.  She is being fed at this church and Dell just encouraged her.
   

2. Another 25 year old came in for supplies who stated she was a believer.  She has 3 children and a boyfriend who is HIV+.  She was very open to the Gospel and spiritual discussion.  Please pray for her walk with the Lord, that she is abstinent, and that she does not become infected.  Dell encouraged her as well.
   

3. Jane met with a 17 year old for baby supplies.  Recently someone came to her door with a tract and this has made her think about spiritual things.  Jane challenged her with the Gospel and sent her home with a Bible and tracts.  Pray for conviction!
   

4. A 19 year old unbeliever met with Jane.  States she attends church.  She acknowledged her sinful lifestyle but indicated she did not want to change.  Jane took her to MT 8:30-37, 1 Jn 5:13 and Jn. 5:24.  She listened intently.  Pray for her salvation.
   

5. A 39 year old came in for a pregnancy test with Anne.  It was positive.  She is single, but the boyfriend is ok with the pregnancy.  Her divorce is not final and she is depending on good works to get into heaven. Pray for salvation and conviction of sin.
   

6. A saved 16 year old with a small infant came into the center that was extremely open to spiritual discussion.  Anne was able to talk to her about making Jesus Lord of her life and to stay on the straight and narrow path.
   

7. Jane met with a 23 year old that is a good person, headed for heaven.  She had been laid off her job.  Children with her were totally out of control, to the point a discussion was extremely difficult if not impossible.  Jane started The Good Test dvd, left the room to get her baby supplies, and returned to find her cell phone charging in our outlet and she was making a phone call on our phone to someone indicating she'd be in Philly in a short time!  Obviously, the dvd was not watched.  Please pray for conviction for this young woman as she reads the materials given to her.  Also that she would be convicted to discipline her children!
   

8. A 26 year old came to the center for supplies who is due for a baby soon.  Julia had her watch The Good Test and took her to Rom. 3:26, 1 Peter 1:7, and Jn. 3:16.    She does not have custody of three other children.  Current boyfriend is in prison, and both her parents are dead.  With a previous pregnancy, she was told she was "losing fluid" and that the Dr. needed to inject fluid into the baby's heart to stop it.  Thus, she was aborted in her 5th month but was not given a full explanation.  We believe this client was searching for truth because she is hurting so deeply from life experiences.  She seemed open to spiritual discussion, even eager to learn.  She was sent home with scriptures and some spiritual booklets.  Please pray she reads them and the Holy Spirit convicts her of the truthfulness of the Scriptures.
   

9. A 23 year old client came on her lunch break for supplies and obviously did not want to stay to talk.  Julia gave her formula, but she was unresponsive to any discussion..
   

10. A 29 year old returned to our center for supplies.  She had read materials sent home with her previously and commented it was "just review."  She states she is a believer.  Client is currently in job training.  Stated to Julia she is believer, but seemed confused on some issues.  Please pray she will read the additional material sent home and next time be able to spend more time in spiritual discussion.
    

While you're in prayer, please add my son, Kevin, to your list.  He is undergoing a second cardiac catherization this Thurs. for stent placement in a fourth vessel.  He continues to have chest pain with minimal exertion.  We are very concerned about him.

Good news from Dell Lapps, one of our client advisors of ,many years.  Her second surgery for cancer in the muscle of her arm went well, she is experiencing very little pain, and the prognosis is very good!  Praise God for His goodness!

Thank you for your many prayers on our behalf.  We are in a real spiritual battle here and fully understand the value of your partnering with us in prayer.
