Dearest Friends,
Thank you for participating in our test!!
We now know that you are earnest readers of our prayer letter!
When we sent out our last prayer update with white lettering on white background, we discovered quickly that you pay attention.  Praise God!

We apologize that we were not able to respond sooner.  We just got back from the Bible Conference yesterday. That was the main request of the letter.

Here is the content in black lettering:

Dear Praying Friends,
Praise God!!
 
1. Cristiano has made a decision to follow Christ!
   Pray for his growth as he starts disciepleship with me saturday and prepares for baptism.  I also am discipling Pietro, a teenager, since summer.
 
2. Today 25 people from our church leave for a Bible conference!!
   Pray for protection spiritually and physically and that the teaching will help each to grow in their relationship with Christ.
Giovanni and Andrea ask prayer  for their customers of their software company to not need support this week so they can get the full benefit of the conference.
 
3. We are now averaging 100 people each Sunday!
  Pray for wisdom in evangelizing those who have not yet made decisions and equipping leaders.  Melodee is also starting a new discipleship relationship with Joy, who has asked for Baptism!!
Thank you for your invaluable partnership,
Jon & Melodee Whitman

 
Now you have double reasons to praise God!!

Last night we set a new record attendance in youth ministry with 25 people.  That, after a whole week of many of them being at the conference with the theme SOLA GRATIA, SOLA FIDE.

Giovanni and Andrea did not have nay major emergencies in their software company to tend to.

We are simply thrilled in what God is doing here.

We do have one request for our friends Lucio and Cristina Stanisci.  (Lucio was the one filling in for my Dad during his illness and my time in America.)

While they were at the conference, Cristina's mother, who was keeping their kids, fell down the stairs and broke four vertebrae.  Please pray for them as they are already sensing many spiritual attacks in their life.

thank you for participating with us in the Gospel.
