June prepared chicken and dumplings. Wow, can she cook! Max and Glen made it back safe. Praise the Lord. It was nice hearing Max share his testimony about Africa and how nice we have it here in the United States. I’m so thankful for what our Friday nights have become at Enabled Ministry. Every Friday night is something special to me because God always gives us a great testimony or story to listen to that is very powerful. Please continue to pray for our well being, and growth spiritually, so we can give more glory to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Thanks, Roland Stone

                          

This week went good at Enabled Ministry. Tommy was in charge and did a great job. We did get to Skype Max, Josiah and Glen this Friday night, which was cool. Most of our students downtown loved the Skype interview. Max and the guys were in New York, at the airport.

Our fellowship went good and the message was clear. Please continue in prayer  for us, that we might be able to see many people come to know the Lord through the counseling  of our staff at Enabled Ministry. The hope of winning back Middletown is possible. I pray for revival in our downtown area. We would love to win Middletown to Christ. Anything is possible with the power of God.

Thanks, Roland Stone

                          

Friday night is really becoming routine for many of our students. To me, watching all of our students grow in the Lord is a blessing. Many of the students, including myself, have never been accountable to much at all except knowing how to quit. I definitely feel the same challenge that the new students tell me about. It is a challenge to give up the old things in life that use to be our only way out. Drugs and alcohol have put me in prison more than once. Through the love of Jesus Christ, I finally feel I am a part of something. God has not brought me this far to let me go.

Through the Enabled Ministry, I have now seen many hopeless people give their life to Jesus Christ at our altar.   I have also seen many surrender at the altar of Grace Baptist Church. The work of our staff, at both Church and Enabled Ministry, have done a wonderful job thus far. I don’t think there is a week that goes by, in this new ministry, that someone doesn’t accept our LORD as their Savior. Please continue to pray for Enabled Ministry, and the streets of Middletown, Ohio.

Thanks,  Roland  Stone    

                          

Another was soul saved this Friday night!  We have labored to the point of one student finally being delivered, and rescued from the Devil’s many tricky ways.  After working with some people day in and day out , it is so rewarding to see them accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.   The fruit of Enabled Ministry is truly bringing God much glory. Just to be a witness of the true power of God in our ministry is awesome.

Max preached on Hebrews 12:15   Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 

The message hit home with many. In fact we have one new salvation to report.  The Lord is working in the hearts and souls of all who will open up to receive God’s forgiveness.  

More and more Grace family members are joining the activities on Friday night.  Thank you for giving up Friday night to fight the battle for the hearts and souls of our Middletown residences. 

God bless you all for your faithfulness!

                          

Glen gave three main points:

1.Col 3:9-put off the old man, through repentance

2.Col 1:18-giving Christ preeminence, by making Christ first

3.Col 3:10-put on the new man, by walking with Christ . Very touchy subject to those whom refuse to ask Christ into there life as Savior and Lord.

The attendance was pretty good, we had around twenty enrollees and twelve children. Our staff is fine tuning the program so well that everything is running real smooth. Once again, we give lots of thanks to our church Grace Baptist of Middletown. And we, of course, give all the glory to Jesus Christ. I would like to also thank anyone else who has had any part at all in aiding us with any help they have given.

Your friend,

Roland Stone

                          

Please continue to pray for this precious couple as Bro. Mike continues to recover.  Both have a strong desire to get back involved at Enabled, but Bro. Mike needs more time to heal.  Pray for the Lord to completely heal his body.  Here is a brief photo taken at their home.

                          

It was another full house at Enable Ministries. The mission is growing more and more every day.We have been building relationships with many men and women who live in our local temporory housing units.  Most of these folks are wanting a change of life.There are many reasons why these people have hit rock bottom.The main reason being,the lack of work in the city of Middletown.  I’m sure there are some cases in which drugs and alchol play a part.  It is not our job to fix their past; that is God’s job.  We can become good stewards of the grace of God by expressing how we too have overcome tough situations with Jesus Christ’s help.

Enabled Ministries went smoothly.  ”For none of us liveth to himself, and no man diet to himself.”  The chapter is talking about not judging our brother in Christ.  We may have brothers in Christ who are weaker in faith, but we are not the judge of them.

I feel that we had a real impact on the downtown Middletown area tonight.  Three people accepted Jesus as their Savior tonight!  Our building was full.  If someone left hungry, I cannot see how.  The Gospel was clearly presented; plus, I took home twenty left over hot dogs…Yum!

Our team of rescue soldiers for Enabled Ministries worked well with one another.  Ultimately, God gets all of the glory.  Please pray for all the lost souls within our reach.

Thanks, church!
