We are traveling home from LaSalle, IL, today and are eager to return for preparation for summer camps at BRR. In one sense, it seems that our "spring" travels have gone so quickly, and we are thankful for the God-given opportunities to serve in various churches throughout FL, NC, PA, ME and IL.
To briefly give an update from East Hebron Baptist Church (Turner, ME), we really had a good week with the people of this church. We were especially thrilled to see new faces in the congregation. One particular lady surrendered her life to the Lord after living in much sin and misery. We were thrilled to counsel with her after services and witness her making decisions that will strengthen her Christian walk. As always, we enjoyed sweet fellowship with dear friends from the church.
We travelled on Saturday after the meeting to Wilton, NY, where a college friend, Steve Harness, pastors Wilton Baptist Church. We enjoyed Sunday services with them and stayed until Tuesday morning when we embarked on a 650 mile trip to Shipshewanna, IN, which was along our route for the next meeting. We were glad for a week of rest in one of our favorite places in America where the pace of life slows down drastically. While visiting in the area, Pastor and Mrs. Jeff Farnham of Lagrange Baptist Church were so kind to let us park at the church, and our families quickly became friends. They and their church family treated us very kindly, and we look forward to being with them in revival services in a few years.
We made our way to First Baptist Church of LaSalle, IL, on Saturday (Pastor Wesley Waddle). Services on Sunday and each night thru Friday were well attended and several services were very monumental for the congregation regarding living by faith and reaching out with the gospel. Tim also preached high school chapel daily with several elementary chapels sprinkled into the week. Needless to say, we had a very busy, but very profitable week with the people of First Baptist of LaSalle.
