July 2010

Hello Everyone!

Summer has been super busy as we are traveling all over the central region of the U.S.  We are greatful that the Lord has allowed us so many opportunities to serve Him and meet many wonderful Christian people. We only have a few weeks left, we will be in Ohio, Canada, and Tennessee for our final meetings.  Please pray that the Lord will continue to bless our group and use us to be a blessing to churches.  Also, pray for Jonathan as he is scheduling meetings for deputation.

On the Road!

We have now been on the road for 2 1/2 weeks and are so thankful for all that the Lord has been doing.  We have been in many churches in Ohio and are now in Indiana, making our way to Illinois.  We have had the opportunity to present our mission to England and make contact with many churches to visit in the fall of this year.  Please pray that the Lord will continue to bless our group with safety and health as we travel!

Our first stop was at Indian Springs Baptist Church in Hamilton, Ohio on May 9!  Mother's Day and our one year anniversary!!

We stopped at the Air Force Museum at Wright Patterson AFB on our way to a service in Dayton, Ohio.

 

We had a Wednesday evening service with Bro. Jerry Siler at Cornerstone Baptist Temple in Dayton.  

 

Outside the Creation Museum in northern Kentucky.

We were able to be in two meetings with Fellowship Baptist Church in Lebanon, Ohio.   On Monday morning, we went to the Fellowship Tract League and Broke up about 400,000 tracts to be sent to Czechoslovakia.  It was amazing to see how the Lord is using their printing ministry to take the Gospel around the world! 

 

Finished!!

 

We were in Reynoldsburg, Ohio in Revival Baptist Church on May 18.  This church was planted by Jim Larger, who is a Crown College graduate. 

Georgia

     On Saturday April 24, we took our first trip as a travelling group! We went to Cleveland, Georgia to surprise Bethany Sparks' mom for her birthday.  On the way, we stopped at a place called Fields of Woods, where the Ten Commandments are displayed on the hillside.

  

   Finally, to the top!! There must have been 1,000 steps!!

   We had a service at Gateway Baptist Church on Saturday afternoon, followed by food and fellowship.  We sang, gave testimonies, and then Bethany's dad preached.

    Bethany Sparks, Lindsay McClure, Sarah Corcoran, Rachel Panas, Audra Huffine, and Rebekah Platt (left to right).

      Saturday evening, despite the torrential downpours, we went to Helen, GA and walked around all the cute shops.  Helen is like a little Pigeon Forge in a German setting.

  
      On Sunday we sang some more songs, gave testimonies, and Jonathan preached from Psalm 78 about remembering what the Lord  has done for us.  The Lord blessed this weekend in a great way.  This was also our first opportunity to present our mission to England and show our video.  We are grateful to God for our group and are looking forward to the Lord's blessings this summer.

Summer 2010 and Beyond

The Lord has given us the opportunity to travel with a ladies' ensemble from Crown College this summer.  Lindsay will be playing the piano for the group and I will have the opportunity to preach.  We will be in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Canada!  We are thrilled at this opportunity to travel and represent Crown College.  Please pray for our safety and that we will be a blessing to pastors and churches in the Mid-Atlantic region. 

We are also preparing to serve the Lord as missionaries to the United Kingdom in England.  We are sent out of Mamre Baptist Church of Kitts Hill, Ohio and working in conjunction with Crown College United Kingdom.  Upon arrival in England, we will serve under Pastor James Zenker at Beeches Road Baptist Chapel.  This church was started in 2006 and the Lord has truly blessed.  We will be working to reach the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, discipling new Christians, working with children and youth through Sunday Schools and state school Bible clubs, and helping in other ministries.  We also believe that the Lord has called us to start local New Testament churches in the country of England. As we travel this summer, we will be presenting our work in many churches.  Please pray that the Lord will provide for us to go in His timing.

Lindsay and I are so grateful for how the Lord has led us.  We truly believe that our Lord is able to do "exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think."
