NYC Recker Report: Office Dedication, Visits, and Fellowship!

New Office Dedication Service!

April 5, 2011

Dr. Craig Hartman

Dr. Craig Hartman

Director of Shalom Ministries

Dear Ronald,

This Wednesday, April 6 at 7:15 pm will be a special service to dedicate our church office to the glory of the name of Jesus Christ and the furtherance of God's Kingdom through Heritage Baptist Church.  Please pray for God's manifest presence as Dr. Craig Hartman, Director of Shalom Ministries, challenges us from God's Word.  We will also have special music, a prayer of dedication, and other special guests as well.

 

Pray that our church family will invite friends to this service or to an upcoming Sunday service! Pray that we thirst for God as in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is, and "to see thy power and thy glory" (Psalm 63:1 ,2).  Pray for the mighty working of God and the salvation and surrender of souls to our Great Savior, Jesus Christ!

Baptisms are Joyous!

 

We recently had a baptism, and my son Daniel snapped this shot. It's one of my favorites. Hope you enjoy it, too.  That's Kerry Tillett being baptized!

Pastor's Fellowship at Hudson View Baptist Church in Yonkers

 

I was honored to attend a Pastor's Fellowship hosted by Hudson View Baptist Church in Yonkers, NY on Tuesday, April 5th.  Yonkers is the third largest city in New York State and has a tremendous spiritual need.  Evangelist Jim Van Gelderen preached two convicting sermons.  Afterwards we enjoyed a delicious meal together.  Praise God for the faithful pastors and preachers in our New York City region. Pray that God will give them grace to stand and proclaim Christ in the power of God's Spirit! 
Pastor Dierking was the host pastor of the fellowship. Pastor Steve Snavely leads a church right beside West Point. These men are pictured above.

Christine Charles, Debbie and I Visit in the Bronx

 

Christine Charles, a faithful member of Heritage Baptist Church, has some senior citizen friends in the Bronx, so Debbie met me after the pastor's fellowship (Tuesday, April 5) and we visited with Christine, her daughter Tanya, and their precious friends, Tom and Christine.  I was able to briefly share the Gospel with them and we prayed together for the grace of our risen Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ to be our strength.  Christine also cooked a delicious beef rib stew which we all enjoyed!

Lighting the Way Apologetic Table This Sunday!

This Sunday after the service Debbie and I plan on going out with Christine Wisniewski and her ministry team in the Times Square Subway Station to distribute Gospel literature to proclaim the Person and work of Jesus Christ.  Pray for God to give us power as we witness regularly for the Lord Jesus in our streets and subways of our city!
