Keeping Busy

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. 

During the month of June, we were in 10 different churches, though only Bible Baptist in Beaver Dam, KY, and Faith Promise Baptist in Portland, TN, were scheduled meetings. In all the others, we were able to meet the pastors and get prayer cards in their hands. In several churches, we were invited to play and sing, and in others, even set up our table and give a short presentation. I wish we could thank them all here, but we would like to give special thanks to Pastor Eddie Calloway and Sugar Grove Baptist Church for not only allowing us to set up our table at their Missions Conference that we unknowingly dropped in on, but also for inviting us back each night for meals and meetings, and being a great source of encouragement!

Also during the month of June, God led us to go full-time with deputation. Jenn was looking diligently for a job, and several opportunities were beginning to open up, but the more we prayed about it and asked counsel of other missionaries and pastors, the more we felt that God was leading us to step out by faith. So, with much prayer, we launched out into the deep, and God has blessed! Our needs have been provided, and we are confident in God's faithfulness concerning our future.

Thus far, in the month of July, we have been in seven churches, besides our home church, and at Camp Victory for a couple days of Teen Week II. Five of these meetings were scheduled, and my home church of Calvary Community Church in Belpre, OH, took us on for support. Many thanks to Pastor Fullerton and Calvary Community for their generosity! During the same trip to that area, an individual in Pleasant View Baptist in Parkersburg, WV, committed to take us on as well. Praise the Lord for progress!

We will do our best to continuously keep you updated. We really appreciate the emails and notes of encouragement. Please keep us in your prayers!
