From Howard, PA to heading HOME

We are so excited to report that the last two weeks have been filled with significant preaching services and fantastic fellowship!  We began a week of meetings at Romola Bible Church in Howard, PA (Pastor Bob Maurer), on Resurrection Sunday, with services at 8:30 AM, 10:45 AM and 7 PM.  It was an extra special day filled with beautiful music, Scripture readings, powerful preaching and rejoicing in the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (I Cor. 15:1-6).  The following day, Pastor Maurer hosted a regional Bible Conference, a monthly gathering of area pastors and their congregations, in which Tim preached two of the three services of the conference.  The congregational singing and fellowship during the conference were a particular blessing, especially since we had participated with many of the churches in an area wide crusade on two separate occasions.  Folks seemed encouraged and edified by the preaching of Pastor Mahlon Nevel and Tim.  We continued the week of meetings thru Thursday night at Romola Bible Church then shifted gears and location to a Bill Rice Ranch Regional Family Conference at Faith Baptist Church (Pastor Troy Kerstetter) in the neighboring town of Blanchard.  Four of the area churches participated in this Friday-Saturday conference preached by Dr. Bill Rice III and Tim with a good attendance of all ages.   Praise The Lord for working in many hearts during this packed week of preaching services.  What a thrill it was to see The Lord meet needs in these dear families!

 We left immediately following the conference for West Carrollton, OH, where we began a Sunday thru Wednesday meeting at Bethel Baptist Church (Pastor Joseph Shihady).  Although we were at this church for two separate family conferences recently and assisting Bro. Wil Rice in a meeting nearly 12 years ago, this was our first time to be at Bethel for preaching revival meetings.  What a blessed time we had getting to know the Shihadys and their church family!  We saw excellent attendance each service, and it seemed that The Lord worked in hearts, especially on Sunday night regarding seeing The Lord do special things in and thru their church (Nehemiah 8).  We look forward to being back with them in April of 2016, Lord-willing.

We just enjoyed a fun-filled family day at the Creation Museum with Tim's parents who were on their way back to MI from FL.  We are grateful for the ministry and stand of Answers in Genesis and enjoyed showing the family around.  Now stopped for fuel in KY, we are driving towards our home at the Bill Rice Ranch and are eager to settle back in and begin preparing more intently for summer camp.
