Well, we apologize for not having updated the blog a bit sooner, but we're glad to report that what has kept us from it is being busy with meetings! We've also been able to design our letterhead and write our first prayer letter.

This past week was as busy as we thought it was going to be, with a few other events thrown in! This week will be pretty busy, as we are still working on moving to Franklin, KY. It's Sunday night, and Jennifer and Joel are still in Franklin, as I make my way back to Powell, TN. Jenn will be looking for employment this week, please pray that she'll find a good job with flexibility. I will be working Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, my last days at Semperian. Wednesday night, when I get off work, I will be headed up to Franklin again. Thursday morning, Jenn, Joel and I will be headed to New Philadelphia, OH, to meet with the folks at All Points Baptist Mission. The next morning, Jenn will be dropping me off in my hometown of Parkersburg, WV, and then she'll take Joel back to Franklin. My brother, Matt, and I will go down to Powell and spend the weekend packing up the rest of our things. Monday, the 15th, is the target date to have the u-haul packed and to leave for Franklin. We have been wonderfully blessed in beginning deputation. So many opportunities to sing, play, and speak have already come our way. I would like to thank everyone that has already had us come to their church, and those who have already scheduled meetings with us. We look forward to the rest of deputation! We pray that we'll be a blessing in every meeting we're in, and that we'll bring God glory. While at Faith's Camp Meeting, I met Bro. Gene Dame, who invited us out to Portland, TN, for Sunday evening. He gave us the opportunity to sing a couple of specials and present the ministry. The blessings keep coming! Sunday morning, we visited Bro. Cleatus Bowman and Bible Baptist in Beaver Dam, KY. Bro. Cleat gave us the opportunity to sing, play, and asked me share our burden for Argentina. The visit was a blessing! Bro. Cleat preached and one young mother accepted Christ as her Savior. We had a good time of fellowship with Bro. Cleat and his wife, Mrs. Donna, after the service. We were able to go to Camp Meeting at our sending church, Faith Baptist in Franklin, Ky, this past weekend. Because of work, we only made it to the meetings on Friday, but we were able to meet several new pastors. Bro. Pierce also gave us the opportunity to sing and play several songs. We just arrived in Franklin, KY after a couple days at Camp Meeting at Camp Victory in Somerset, KY. God has used the people associated with the camp in a great in our lives. I was called to preach there, surrendered to be a missionary, met my wife, married my wife, and countless times, I have received spiritual refreshment. |
