Merry Christmas

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas.  In anticipation of the New Year keep checking in as we look forward to announcing our mission kick-off in January.  May the Lord bless you all with joy and peace.

OUR YEAR IN REVIEW OF SERVING THE LORD:

July - Our annual mission trip to Rhodell West Virginia
              - One person accepted Jesus as their Savior
              - Made several repairs to the playground (including a new swing set)
              - Painted the bathroom in The Open Door
Oct - An "impromptu"  medical mission trip to Rhodell
              - Provided medical guidance to several people in the community
              - Gave educational lectures
              - Installed a water fountain in The Open Door
Nov - "Turkey Drive" in which we were blessed with the ability to provide the Rhodell community with 45
                turkeys.

We pray the Lord will continue to bless us with the means to continue serving Him.

Life Speeds By-Then Slams Shut

For the past couple weeks I kept telling myself I needed to make an entry.  I worked this past weekend; before that we were out of town for the weekend.  Work was physically demanding this week; then today's news!

Let us do more than just say, "Our prayers are with the families."  Let's pray and petition the Lord that our country would come to a point of repentance as a people.  From taking prayer out of school, legalizing abortion, to the level of idolatry occurring in this country (people spend more time managing fantasy football, basketball, and whatever than they do learning about Jesus).
