My wife and I are missionaries to England. We will be planting local, New Testament, Bible-believing Baptist churches. We are sent out of Mamre Baptist Church in Kitts Hill, Ohio. We will be serving in Beeches Road Baptist Chapel upon arrival. This is a church plant near Birmingham, England. Please pray for God to be glorified and the hearts of the British to be opened to the Gospel!

Trip to Illinois

This past week has been a great blessing.  God has been so good to us!!  We thoroughly enjoyed the time we were able to spend in each church this week.  Sunday morning we were in Washington, Illinois with Pastor & Mrs. Keith Thibo.  This was another church we had been to in the summer with the Crown Ladies' Ensemble. It was a blessing to see many familiar faces and to spend more time with the Pastor and his family!
Jonathan taught the Sunday school class that meets in the auditorium.

These ladies sang one of my favorite songs, "He Loved Me."

Pastor Thibo preached in the morning service.
 Again this Sunday there were two young men who trusted Christ as their Savior and were baptized at the end of the morning service!  

This young man's sister also received Christ as her Savior this morning!

Sunday evening we were in Rockford, Illinois at Berean Baptist Church.  We were also with this church for a meeting in May last year with the Ensemble.  The Lord has truly blessed us with so many friends all over the country who are praying for us! 

The singing here was a great blessing and encouragement!

Pastor Mark Swanson
At the end of this service, Pastor Swanson made a motion that the church vote to begin supporting us!  This was an added blessing at the end of a wonderful Lord's Day!
