April, 2012

Dear TTEM friends, It amazes us how quickly 2012 is flying by!  We trust that the Lord is blessing you in your daily "grind", and we gladly report to you His goodness to us in safety on the roads and effective services in churches.  He truly "daily loadeth us with benefits." (Ps. 68:19) Just to give you a brief summary of the year's travel thus far, we were in FL for January and February, promoting the Bill Rice Ranch deaf ministry needs with Dr. and Mrs. Bill Rice.  Beginning in March,  we joined both Dr. Bill and his son, Bro. Wil Rice, for BRR Conferences on Marriage and the Home in TX and GA.  We praise the Lord for those who attended the conferences and for the important decisions that were made.  Also in March, we joined Pastor Aaron Carpenter and the people of Central Baptist Church (Dixons Mills, AL) for a week of revival meetings.  We had a super week of good attendance, one lady trusting Christ and many other important decisions. The month of April has proven busy but profitable with a week of revival meetings with Pastor Ray McCormick and the people of Eastside Baptist Church (Asheboro, NC).  We enjoyed good fellowship and good attendance in that meeting.  The pastor and his folks had obviously prayed and prepared for the week, for we saw several folks saved and baptized during the week.  It was a wonderful time! Just this past weekend, we joined the Rices once again for a BRR Conference on Marriage and the Home in West Carrolton, OH, then immediately after, we left for revival meetings at Bible Baptist Church (Madison, OH).  We are thrilled at the obvious preparation put into this week of services and are thankful that one man trusted Christ on Sunday morning, one teenager received assurance of her salvation and many other good decisions have been made thus far.  This meeting will close on Friday, and we will travel to Louisville, KY, immediately on Saturday to begin meetings at Landmark Independent Baptist Church (Pastor Matt Anders). We appreciate your concern and prayers for the ministry God has entrusted to us and look forward to reporting more "great things He hath done" in the near future. For His Glory, Tim Thompson Ps. 18:1
