It's a Turkish boy

Point and Rebekah of Turnkey had a baby boy, Samuel L. on Saturday, April 12 '09. He is such a good baby, calm and cool according to Maria.

May God grow him after God's own heart. (1 Samuel 13:14)

Dear brothers and sisters. Dear co-workers.

I am very happy to let you know two amazing things that happened at
the same day.

First of all, God granted us a son as he has promised through his servants. This was a difficult pregnancy for sh. Rebekah. She was about to lose the child a couple of times. During one of those times a prayer group from Korea came to our house and prayed for her. The
leader of the group said it would be a son and his name would be Samuel because he would grow a prophet of God. We believed and God granted us a son. We had thought to name him Paul, because Paul Toh helped us a lot during the pregnancy time sending several packages
from Urbana with medications and stuff but we decided to obey God and named him Samuel even though it is a strange name in the place we live in.

Second, at the same day (Apr. 11) God granted us a new place for raising disciples of Jesus. It was used before as a congregation place but later, two years ago was abandoned. The owner is a Christian. He gave us that place basically for free because he wants it to be used
as a holy place. May God Almighty help us to be good shepherds and raise 12 disciples of Jesus using that place.
I thank you very much for all your prayers and all your help. Most importantly I thank God for his great mercy and unconditional love towards this sinner whose sins were so heavy. Again and again I can hear his voice: Do you love me? Feed my sheep.

With respect and love, your debtor Point
