The Brouwer Family

The Igoma Independent Baptist Church has been struggling for well over a year now. Pastor Gervasi was very discouraged and ready to leave. When we returned from furlough we decided to help this church by going with the pastor and his wife out soul-winning every Wednesday before the service. Pastor Gervasi also asked Bill to preach through the book of Revelation. So for the past five months that is what we have been doing.

I wish I could give you a specific number of people who have have been saved over these months, but I can only tell you that it has been many. This month there have been 13 people baptized, and many first time visitors. These visitors all say they were invited to come through this soul-winning program.

Another blessing has been seeing the faces of Pastor Gervasi and his wife, Anna. Gone are the frowns and discouraged demeanor. Now we see a couple that is excited about what God is doing. Of course this changed attitude also changes the attitudes of the congregation. It truly is a revived church. PRAISE THE LORD!!!
