Dec. 7 rain fell almost all night, and in the morning there was drizzle on and off. Despite the thought that people might be put off by the rain, I reminded myself God is in charge. The morning of Dec. 8 I sat at the appointed place, feeling a bit apprehensive. Eventually 10 people showed up, including a mother with a baby on her back.

It was a very cordial meeting. We discussed how each one had come into contact with UCG. One or two had connections with WCG, but most had come in contact with The Good News magazine and UCG booklets.

We also discussed briefly such topics as the coming Kingdom of God and that God the Father is the one who does the calling (John 6:44).

Some of them mentioned they were expecting other people who did not turn up, which meant the group could have been bigger.

I asked if they would like more regular meetings. They all agreed and even gave me names and addresses of other people they felt would be interested in attending. So a regular Bible study is being planned for the area.
