Tom Rains Evangelistic Association

Thanking God for the nearly 900 individuals who came to faith in Jesus in 2025 through the Tom Rains Evangelistic Association. We serve a great God!!!!

Be praying for our upcoming time in El Salvador October 18-25, when our team will be speaking in schools, in prisons, in churches and to pastors. Pray for God to speak to hearts. Pray for individuals to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and for believers to be encouraged.
Please make that your prayer also for our time at Cedar Grove Baptist Church in West Union, Ohio, as we will be there November 9 - 12.
Don't forget the words of D.L. Moody. "Little prayer, little power." "Much prayer, much power". We need your prayers as we share Jesus.

God has been doing some wonderful things here in El Salvador the last few days. WE have seen men and women, boys and girls, come to faith in Jesus Christ. More than 300 have given the hearts to Jesus. Among that number was 20 members of the most dangerous gang in the world - MS-13. We praise God for all He is doing.
One of the things we have heard over and over from pastors is how helpful Samaritans Purse "Operation Christmas Shoe boxes " have been in helping them in their work. In some cases it helped them to begin a new church in a community where there was no gospel work. One pastor told us of how the shoe boxes open the doors to being accepted in the community. Another of how God used the shoe boxes to introduce them to two sisters. One was blind the other extremely shy. They were able to help the blind girl get into a school for the blind. When she received all the education she could at the blind school the church that had handed out the shoe box brought her and her sister to their school in San Salvador. Both girls are thriving. The blind girl is play the key board in their praise team. Her shy sister is singing.
When you are trying to decide if you should pact a shoe box or not, remeber these two girls. A shoe box changed their lives.
If God can use a something as simple as a shoe box to change a life He can use you. Will you say to Him "Lord here am I. I am available to be used."
Pray for us as we will be in churches in the morning sharing the gospel.
