Gary and Verda Keck: August and September 2007
I appreciate so much your prayers for us. Our return back to PNG has been quite an adjustment since three of our children are in the States.
God has been faithful and has provided grace when needed.
Bro. Gary
Record High in Attendance
Thank you for your prayers. We are still trying to get settled in. I am staying busy teaching in the Bible School. We will graduate 3 married men and their wives and one single man at the end of November. Our services at Bible Baptist, #6, are going very well. These past two months we have seen visitors every Sunday. Last Sunday we had our highest attendance since our return of 140 adults and teens and 60 children. Six have been saved this past month. The past couple of weeks I have been teaching on Baptism and will finish this Sunday, October 7th. So far there are 10 people who have been saved and have a desire to follow the Lord in believer's baptism. God is so good. Please pray for these new Christians because they face great opposition from their families as well as their former religious leaders.
Need Your Prayers
Our Visas will be up for renewal in January. We are making preparations now to apply for permanent residents visas. With these visas, we will not need to reapply every three years. This will eliminate a lot of paper work, extra expenses, and government red tape. I will be flying to Port Moresby next week to renew Kimberly's passport and deliver the paper work for the visas. Please pray for Visas to be approved quickly.
Since our return my copy machine has malfunctioned, my computer hard drive crashed two weeks ago, after taking it in to be repaired, and our water heater quit. Ever have one of those months... We have been able to replace the computer and the water heater. Our copy machine is to be fixed as soon as the part comes in. Parts for our model are rare; therefore, we will be purchasing a new one once funds are available. Thank you for your faithful support and prayers.
Yours for Souls in PNG,
Gary Keck and Family
