NEW YORK, NEW YORK!

There is more to New York than New York City, but I'll get back to that in a moment.
My wife, Rachel, and I had the thrill to be with Steve and Melanie Galegor last weekend in "the big apple." Saturday evening we joined them in Brooklyn with one of their several works with Albanians. Steve's ministry involved both evangelism and discipleship as he taught from Isaiah, challenging them to believe God for a great ministry impact in their borough.
As the center of the "Megalopolis" of the northeast, I praise God that we have a great work going on here. But there is much more to be done in New York City!
Once again, there is more to New York than New York City. I think the rest of the state of New York is often refered to as "upstate." Well, the city of Syracuse is defintely upstate. Josh Shearer, with Paul and Abigail Roark,are in the initial stage of beginning a work in the Finger Lakes region of New York.
This is a mission team sent out by New Beginnings GBC in Myerstown, PA. God is beginning to supply them with both employment and good contacts. One is a young family, also from our Fellowship of churches, who is proving to be an encouragement to the new team in town.
As one of the most populous and influential states in the United States, I praise God that we have a work beginning in the very center of the state. But there is much more to be done throughout the state of New York!
Pray for the Syracuse Grace Brethren Church, led by Josh Shearer.
Pray as well for the evangelism and discipleship leading to churches, going on among Albanians and others in New York City, led by Steve Galegor, Jr.
