At the end of February we had some great meetings. The first was in Tulsa, Oklahoma in Eastland Baptist Church. It was a joy to meet Pastor and Mrs. Dorrell and the members of this church. It was an encouraging and refreshing time!
From Tulsa, we drove up to Salina, Kansas where we spent some time at Ray Avenue Baptist Church. Jonathan went with the men of the church to the Baptist Men's Recharge. They enjoyed a couple of days of good preaching and fellowship. We were in Ray Avenue all day on Sunday and had the opportunity to go to another church in the afternoon to present our work. At the end of the service Sunday evening, the people of Ray Avenue Baptist voted to begin supporting us monthly!!

On this trip we stopped in to see Jonathan's family. We had two churches to visit while in Missouri. Our first was Mid-America Baptist Church in Winfield. We saw several familiar faces here! Bro. Brad Harris and Gregory Irby were in the same Bible Club as us when we all lived in Knoxville. They are now helping Pastor Andrews in this area.

On Sunday we were with Berean Baptist Church in Springfield, MO. Pastor Ables and his wife were a blessing to us. Jonathan's parents also came down to this meeting with us, since it was only an hour from home. During the evening service, Pastor Ables made a motion that they begin to support us on a monthly basis!

God has blessed us this month with many Churches that have a great heart for the Lord's work. We are grateful for the opportunities we have had to share our ministry and for the churches who have begun to support us. Please pray that the Lord will allow many of the churches we have already been in to be able to support us soon! We are praying that God will take us to England in His time!
