In Sunday School this morning we had the privilege of presenting the ministry to the folks of Faith Baptist Church of Temple, TX. Adam, Sandy, and Natalie sang, we showed our video, I gave a overview of the work in Shelburne and our vision for future work. I then answered questions to numerous good questions. In the morning church meeting, the Lord was present, Brother Joe preached from 2Corinthians 8 on the grace of giving. A young man named Jeremy responded to the invitation at the end of the preaching and placed his trust in Christ Jesus to save him from his sin—Hallelujah. Tonight is a huge night for this church, as they take in their faith promises for missions for 2011.
Sunday evening was the yearly "super bowl" of missions for Faith Baptist Church. The singing was great and Brother West preached a message entitled, "IN." He asked...
Are you in missions by giving?
Are you in missions by praying?
Are you in missions by willingness to go?
When did you get in missions?
Why did you get in missions?

The grand finale was the taking up of the faith promises and adding up those promises made between God and each member. We were honoured that Faith Baptist Church voted to take us on for support--thank you Lord. We are very excited to partner with this church as we are convinced of their sincerity to pray for us and the church planting work of Chrgoggin Baptist Church in Canada.
