After much time and years of prayer, we opened the doors to the beautiful Mid Cities Pregnancy Center, Irving office, March 26. In addition, we had a successful Open House for pastors, Irving ISD staff, physicians, and other city leaders May 22nd.
Since opening, we have performed 31 pregnancy tests, with 23 of them being positive. Of those 23 positive tests, 17 of those clients represented were abortion-vulnerable. After counseling, 19 of the 23 chose to carry and parent, with 2 undecided as to whether to parent or place for adoption. The remaining 2 are unknown as to their decision. Follow-up is continuing.
The gospel was presented 23 times and 3 clients accepted the gift of eternal life. Two clients rededicated their lives to Christ. Many others made significant decisions regarding the direction of their lives.
Heartfelt appreciation is expressed to all those who gave to the Miracle Offering, helping to birth and equip MCPC, Irving! Your sacrificial gifts, prayers, and partnership mean so much to us! Thank you!

Friendship Evangelism: Canada church plant update
I believe that Jesus is God. Raja Abid believes that Jesus is one of God's prophets. However, Raja Abid and I are friends. He loves to hang out at our house, eat my lamb chops, talk about the ladies, and read the Bible with me. He is far away, in my opinion from making a decision for Christ, but I feel the Lord leading me to be his friend and share Christ with him through that friendship. Please pray that the Holy Spirit would touch my new friend. Please also pray that the many Urdu speaking people in Fort McMurray could see a church planted here for them.
Justin is another new believer in Christ, and he is not out of the woods yet as far as his struggles due to living his life without Jesus for so many years. However, he is growing in his faith. We meet at least three times a week for Bible study and prayer. He is a great guy and has many friends and family that he wants to see come to Christ.
This last week Justin's mom, who has not asked Jesus to rule her life, commented to me that something has changed in Justin. She said with tears in her eyes "This last week, he actually carried on a conversation with me for the first time in a year. He even asked about me. Something is different about him." I was able to share with her the difference that Jesus makes in someone's life and she was open to finding out more about Justin's new Lord and Saviour.Please double your efforts in praying for Justin and his family and friends. My desire is for him to grow in his faith and see many of those in his life yield their life to Christ.Thank you for partnering with us to reach Justin for Christ.

Hays Community Church Update

God continues to do awesome things. We are seeing Him continue to bring unchurched people to us who do not have a relationship with Him. We are thrilled to help these folks on their journey with Jesus. In May God has allowed to baptize three more people. One of those was our son. That was truly a special day. The other two that we were able to baptize were Richard & Kathy. You might recall that Richard & Kathy are Heather’s parents, & Heather is the first gal who came to know the Lord in our church. She professed Christ over a year ago. It was an incredible privilege to watch her parents come to know Jesus & to watch them declare their allegiance to Him through baptism. Praise the Lord!!!
Prayer Requests:
As always, we are so thankful for your prayers. Please continue to pray that our family would abide in Christ & His love & that we would reflect that love to those in our church & to those a part of our community. Pray protection over our family & church. God is enabling us to fight the forces of darkness when they come after our marriage. Praise His name for this! Pray that those in our church who have yet to profess Christ would have their eyes enlightened. We are doing an outreach for kids in June. Pray God would draw unchurched families to bring their kids to this & that it would draw the families to Christ & our church. Finally, we are hoping to start a fourth house church in the fall. Pray that God would raise up the right leader to lead this next house church. To God be the glory for what He has done and will do!!!
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Thank you so much for being partners with us in the advancement of the gospel!!!
