MISSION: Uganda Blog Update 11-18-2005
Greetings! We had a great week last week. To begin with, we were in Blessed Hope Baptist Church in Farmington, MO, with Pastor Jeff Brady. Their missions conference went great. We had some great fellowship with them, and with the missionaries who were with us in the conference. R.J. Saladin, to Mexico, and Lanelle Smith, to Cote D'Ivoire, Africa we've met, and also Angel Parrish with Rock of Ages to the Women's Prisons in Missouri. We went out to Lafayette Bible Baptist Church on Friday for their Revival Fires meetings. Great preaching, particularly from Pastor Bob Smith. Praise the LORD, Blessed Hope Baptist Church voted to take us on for support! On Sunday morning, we had a meeting in Larry Croy's church, New Testament Baptist Church in Waterloo, IL. For some reason, in the course of the meeting, I opted to preach a different message than I normally preach. The short of it is, six people prayed to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior! Now I know what the LORD had in mind. They had been witnessing to, and praying for, these people for some time, and I got to play a small part, and be present for the harvest. What a blessing!
