Pray for Andrew/Northampton Update

Thanks for those of you who prayed for Northampton  It’s working!

My friend Seth and I (Matt) have gone a few times in recent weeks to a park in downtown Northampton to pray and witness to people. Last week we met a guy named Andrew who was receptive to the gospel but living on the streets in his broken down car in the photo. I asked him if he truly wanted to get off the streets and offered to take him to a Christian recovery mission I trust a few towns over. He said yes.

Long story short, I took him there, and he’s been there for a week now. We were able to get his car started and moved to where he’s now staying. And this week I started discipling him and training him to make disciples. He’s very excited to be growing spiritually and sharing his faith with others, including his family.

Please pray for Andrew. He believes in Jesus but is just now learning to follow him. Pray that being in the recovery mission will help him not only get off the streets but to get right with God. Pray that his family, among whom there is much dysfunction, will begin to receive the gospel when he starts sharing. Pray also for my friend Seth who is witnessing with me in Northampton. Pray for our attempt to start a regular Bible study in the park on Friday mornings.
