For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds. 2 Corinthians 10:4

June,2018Dear praying friends! Nita and I celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary May 24th with some get-away time in

the west of Ireland. The weather was the absolute best it has been probably in 20 years here. It reminds us that Ireland is the most beautiful place in the world… when the weather is right! Anyways, I am grateful for a priceless wife, and a friend who has been with me through all these years, first in New Jersey, and now here in Ireland, serving our Lord!

Saturday Soul-Winning started up in March and has been fantastic! Already this year, we average 20 soul-winners, young and old who go out with the Gospel every week, and have reached over 4,000 Irish homes, and have seen 60 visitors so far! Our theme is “We’re Going Fishing” and we are loving it!

Men’s Camp in April. What can I say except that it was exceptional! Learning from the life of king Hezekiah was amazing! We had 85 men and their sons from 11 churches come for great preaching and teaching, as well as times of humbling prayer! One person got saved at camp as well!

Ireland Voted to Repeal its 8th Amendment in its Constitution that had protected both the life of the Mother AND the Unborn for the past 35 years. On Friday, May 25th, the majority of the Irish voters voted to remove the human right to life of both a mother and her unborn child in favour of only protecting the selfish whims and lifestyles of our modern age. Of all the choices that any nation can make, the choice to eradicate Downe Syndrom children, and “terminate” unwanted pregancies, is probably the worst. The battle is not over. The Gospel can still save a nation, just as it saved a wretch like me! But every nation needs preachers! And THAT’S why we are here!

24th Church Anniversary Sunday! On Sunday, June 10th we had 164 in church, with 3 visitors! The Lord truly has helped us reach many people here in the south of Ireland, and every one of them are a treasure unto God! We had dinner on the grounds at a nearby park, with a Balloon send-off, and great remembrances of God’s goodness to us all! The gift of a Bible believing, Gospel preaching church in Europe is rare! And we aim to nurish and protect it

WOULD YOU PRAY FOR THESE NEEDS? 1) Pray for our upcoming Victory Youth Camp July 2-6. 2) For our Children’s Summer Bible Club and Teen Target the Heart events in August 14-17. 3) For our continuing Gospel of Luke Project. 4) Pray for our daughter Sarah at College. 5) Pray for these souls to get saved: Shannon, Joe P, David S, Kerri M, Timothy C, Liam O, Rachel B, and Peter D. And 6) Please keep praying for these new Christians to grow: Allen S, William L, Mikey C, Chris M, James M., and Darlene E.

May God bless and keep you all! We certainly love you in Christ! Craig&NitaLedbetterinIreland
