Deputation: Week 3,4,5

Praise the Lord for three wonderful weeks of meetings!  It has been so encouraging to meet so many people who are faithfully serving the Lord and committed to pray for and help missionaries. 
We met with some friends in Lancaster, Ohio.  It was nice to see our friends from earlier in the summer!

We stayed with Dean and Corliss Cunningham again!  They are such a sweet couple and a blessing to us!

These are the Bernard kids! 

Jonathan preaching in Lancaster Baptist Church

On Saturday September 11, there was a youth rally at Calvary Baptist Church in Portsmouth, Ohio.  Jonathan and I took one of the girls from the Mamre Youth Group.  What a wonderful afternoon.  Bro. Scott Pauley preached two messages about "Today" and "Eternity."  Two young men trusted the Lord as their Savior, one young man received assurance of his salvation, and another surrendered his life to do whatever the Lord has for him! 

Pastor Ryan Brown led the singing.

There were many youth groups from all over the tri-state area.  The main floor and the balcony were full!

We have seen the Lord answering some of our prayers in the past few weeks.  Our schedule has filled up very quickly and we are preparing for our first long road trip.  Our meetings recently have only taken us within a couple of hours from home.  In the coming month we will be in northern Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee, and Michigan.  Please pray that God will burden the hearts of these people to partner with us in our mission to England. 
Last week a church in West Virginia voted to take us on for support!  This is a great blessing and encouragement.  Please pray that more of the churches we have already visited will be able to support us soon. 

In Christ,
Lindsay

Week 2

This week we were in a meeting with Bro. Tim Jayne on Sunday evening.  We had a great time getting reaquainted with the people of Buffalo Valley Baptist Church.  Jonathan and I gave our testimonies and shared our burden for the people of England.  We had the privilege to meet some missionaries to Scotland after the service.  The Lord has seen them both through battles with cancer during their time on deputation.  The Kings have a great testimony for the Lord and are leaving soon for the field.
On Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings we attended the tent meeting at Community MBC.  The speaker for the week was Bro. David Frazie! What a blessing to hear him preach two weeks in a row.  The Lord worked in the hearts of the people in a great way. 

Wednesday evening we attended our sending church, Mamre Baptist Church.  We presented our video and Jonathan preached.  This was the first time many of the people of Mamre had seen our missionary video.  It was a blessing to be in our home! 
Please pray for the Lord's favor in contacting pastors and scheduling meetings for the upcoming months.

In Christ,
Lindsay

Deputation: Week 1

We are thrilled to finally be on full-time deputation!  This week we have been in the Mission Conference at Landmark Baptist Church in Winchester, KY.  We have been so blessed to meet so many wonderful people in the Lord's service. 

These are some of the missionaries we had the privilege to get to know this week.

Jonathan had the opportunity to preach in the Sunday night service.

Lindsay played the piano for the services. 

 Bro. David Frazie was the keynote speaker of the week.  The Lord used him to speak to the hearts of the church members and the missionaries.  Praise the Lord for a great week of meetings!
We stayed with some friends from Mamre Baptist Church, Harry and Roxie Fry, who have moved here and are serving the Lord in this church.  It has been such a great blessing to spend time with Pastor Muncie and this church.  They have such a heart for the Lord and for missions across the world.  We are grateful for the new friendships we have made this week!  Please continue to pray for our safety and the Lord's blessing on our lives.
In Christ,
Jonathan and Lindsay

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.
