ITALY MISSION: ERICH AND JEAN GRIESHABER JULY 2010 NEWSLETTER, 2 Corinthians 5:17, 18 “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold all things have become new. Now all things are of God who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.” We are filled with praise and joy in the Lord as we relate to you all the wonderful things the Lord is doing here in Italy. Since the middle of June, 10 new believers have asked Jesus Christ to forgive their sins and come into their heart as their Lord and Savior. God is harvesting His field and with great joy and humility we thank Him for allowing us to be a small part of it. Without the Lord drawing the people to himself there would be nothing here, but because He is doing all the work, our joy overflows we see hearts moved, broken and thankfully praising the Lord for His great salvation. When we talk to people we find they know about Jesus, but they don’t know Him as their Lord and Savior. • Christian, from England, and her father David both asked Jesus into their lives after viewing the Left Behind Series. • Alex, a Christian Romanian, we talked to at the beach, and his cousin, Adrian, rode their bikes in the scorching sun to church. Adrian,14 years old asked Jesus into his heart. • Enzio, a good friend of Chris’s who works three job came to the church and accepted the Lord, he is witnessing to his girlfriend now. • We met Nathaniel (24) and his mother at Maria’s restaurant, she had been talking to him and his mother about the Lord. Maria called us to come to dinner and speak to them. They came to our table and as Maria translated Nathaniel accepted Jesus as his savior, They both have come to the church. • Mico, who owns a construction company and his girlfriend have been coming to church for many weeks, he recently asked the Lord into his heart, now his favorite words are, “ Praise the Lord”. • On Monday evening, Jo took Erich to a friend of his cousins who owns a gas station and was having troubles. Erich spoke to him for quite some time, then invited him to the movie Fireproof. After the movie, he gave his heart to the Lord. • John Luca, (24) came to the Bible Study in Rome on Sunday Morning, he asked Jesus to come into his heart as his Lord and Savior. • Lilly Anna (86) and her friend Valentina (96) both asked Jesus into their hearts in the lobby of a hotel they were vacationing at. Maria translated as Erich shared the scriptures with them. Both said they knew about Jesus but didn’t know how to get saved. • The video of the latest baptism is on our website praizegod.com, • Please join us in prayer for the new converts in Italy as they reach out to their family and friends telling them all about their relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. • We thank the Lord for family and friends like you who pray for us and share in the blessings of what the Lord is doing here in Italy. The following scripture keeps us focused on the Lord and what He is doing. • Psalms 90:12 Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom” • A little laughter for the month. We bought some sunscreen, we could only find it in the children’s department. After spreading it on our face and arms we noticed how white it made us. So we got the dictionary out and read what it was for: We had a great laugh as we found out it was not sunscreen, it was diaper rash ointment!! — Erich and Jean Grieshaber
