The time we spent with them was priceless! We were able to learn much more about the ministry we will be working in when we arrive in England, and just some general information about the country of England! This was very helpful to me as I am preparing the things we should take with us and learning what things will be easy to acquire when we get to the country.
On Thursday evening Anna asked me to speak at the Ladies' Bible Study. I spoke from Proverbs 4 on the heart. We had a great time of fellowship and I enjoyed getting to know so many of the Ladies from Lyons Baptist Church.
On Friday evening, there was a laser tag activity for the teens. Jonathan gave a brief devotion after the activity.
We had the opportunity to present our work during the Sunday morning service. Pastor Ruwersma led the singing and Jonathan spoke during Sunday school and the morning service.
Sunday evening we traveled to Midland Baptist Church to share our work with those people. Pastor Payne grew up in Ironton, Ohio, which is the same area I am from. It is always encouraging to see other people who have gone out from our region to serve the Lord!
On Wednesday evening, we were with Pastor Steve Brown in Livonia, Michigan. His children were at Crown College around the same time that we were. We were able to have dinner with their family and enjoy some time of fellowship. Sadly, all the pictures I took here came out blurred. By the time we finish deputation, I will have our camera figured out, I'm sure!
