Saturday Blitz: We have prepared 800 “Friend Day” packets, included in each packet is, an invitation flyer, a John and Romans and our church card in it. We have passed them out on visitation and those in our church to their co-workers etc. On September 16, a group of about 18 folks from Calvary Chapel Baptist Church in Minister OH, came to help us pass out the 800 flyers. We still have about 100 left to be passed out, but we will get those passed out this week. We had pizza and fellowship afterwards. Some of our ladies brought dessert and drinks. It was an encouragement and blessing to our church. We are thankful to them for helping. Please pray for this special Day, “Friend Day” this Sunday, September 24th. After passing out our flyer packets and right before having pizza we all gathered together and had some testimonies about our visits. One of the testimonies that was given was of a lady at one of the houses that said, “It was something pleasant to see church people going down the streets visiting door to door”; Another testimony was of a widow lady that was saved in a Baptist Church in her early married years, moved to Bucyrus when her husband died and is looking for a good church to go to; Another testimony was from Pastor Dan’s wife. She got to meet a young lady that she and Pastor Dan led to the Lord years ago. Since that time the young lady got into sin and trouble, but now is trying to get out of that. My testimony of our Saturday Blitz is that seeing and hearing those people from our church, and 3 of them not members yet, being very excited to come out and do a work for God and see, and fellowship with another like-minded church that is excited and cares was a good dose of what our young church needed.

The lady Jackie discipled earlier this year, she and her teen daughter have finished up the baptismal/ membership classes that I had with them. They have been saved for several years but never got baptized since attending Old Paths for over 2 years. We are now working on a date for them getting baptized. We are excited to see them grow in the Lord.
Travels and Encouragement:
We are so thankful to our churches that have continued with us, being burdened and in support of us as church planters in the USA trying to make a difference in OUR COUNTRY taking on Old Paths Baptist Church Strengthening it, and Growing it! Old Paths Baptist Church is a small church that’s not that old, but can play a vital part in OUR COUNTRY’S spiritual need. We have traveled to Pennsylvania where we had 2 churches that we were in on Sunday September 3rd. Going to our churches who have supported us for 20+ years and the memories and people in our churches we love them and are our extended church family who have had a part in our ministry. GOD BLESS YOU!!! Pray for us as we seek support and continued support!
Bits Of Bread: “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.” – Jude 1:20-23
Matthew J Siekbert
