A couple of weeks ago we had ten new chairs made, and just last week got the upholstry on them. (we did that ourselves). So now there are 28 chairs for seating in our "auditorium". It was a blessing to see them all filled this morning. We had two new people that just saw our sign and came in. We will do a salvation lesson with them on Teusday. We had a number of children from our Bible Club in Bayankhoshuu, the place I wrote of before. We have a week off now, then will do another five-week series in Bayankhoshuu, and a new one in Ikh Naran, another place from which people come to our church.

We praise the Lord for answering our prayers concerning the daughter of a man named Erdenebayar. I believe I have wrote on him before. His wife is strongly against Christianity. Friday he came to pray together with me, and said that his oldest daughter, Onon, (9) had not come home from school the evening before and was still missing. The school is on the next street over from their house. They had searched everywhere they knew to search. We prayed together and of course were in prayer til the next day Saturday when they got a call from a police station quite a distance from their house. As it turns out, two women grabbed her as she was walking home. All the details were not clear, but she managed to run away when the women went into a store. She met a elderly woman on the street who took Onon to her own home and kept her til her son came and took her to the police station. Kidnapping here is rare, but obviously does happen.

We appreciate your prayers as we continue to pray for God to empower the work here.

In Christ,
