April 10. A very cold morning - 29º when we got up. The sun soon warmed things up however, and it did get into the 50’s. Daddy and I left at 8:30 this morning for church. Pastor had asked us to be there at 9:00 for prayer time together before our revival meetings started. After prayer, there was choir practice for those who are in the choir. At 10:00, our visiting evangelist, Bro. Morris Gleiser, spoke to the Sunday school. His text was Isaiah chapter 1, showing the spiritual decline in the health of God’s people and the remedy for healing. One visitor and her children were already there at the prayer time and stayed through most of the morning. She had to leave early, but said she really enjoyed the meetings and wants to come back. It was good to see our missionary Bro. Starin there today. He hadn’t planned to be there, but unexpected circumstances allowed him to be with us. Sunday school was shorter today, as visitors had been invited for donut fellowship at 10:35. Regular meeting started at 11:00 as usual. We praise the Lord for those visitors who came and trust they will be back. The Gospel message was presented clearly and simply from Luke 12, the parable of the rich fool. One person raised a hand during the invitation, but no one came forward. We have been praying earnestly for one man in particular who has heard the Gospel many times, and we trust he will respond before the week is over. Of course, we have been praying for many others too. It was about 12:30 when we headed home. Had our lunch and then a welcome nap. I had a bad headache and must have been pretty tired as I slept over an hour and a half. This evening, they said there were about 45 visitors this morning. Praise the Lord for each one who came. Not many visitors this evening, and the message was preached mainly for God’s people. From Psalm 139, he talked about God’s omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence; but most of his time was spent in verses 23 and 24, David’s asking the Lord to reveal his heart and thoughts and show him any areas where he might be defiled, distraught, or distracted. At the end, Bro. Gleiser gave us time in our seats to pray and ask the Lord to search our hearts. Then as each individual finished talking with the Lord, he was to stand up. After that Bro. Starin shared a few words and closed in prayer. “He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.“ John 1:27
