When I played high school basketball, we changed ends after halftime.  That is, we no longer shot the ball on the same end in the second half as we did in the first half.  August was our month to change ends in evangelism, not ends of the court but ends of the country.  We moved from western Colorado to western North Carolina, a total of 1,754 miles.

Once we arrived in NC, we enjoyed some wonderful times of fellowship.  First we visited the church of which Sarah and I were members for 15 years.  It was so refreshing to see so many friends again, and to be able to minister there in preaching and music.  From there we went back to Ambassador Baptist College and once again ministered in preaching and music.

After one more meeting here in NC, which closes on Wednesday of this week, we turn west again and head towards Mississippi and home.  We will be there long enough to change out summer clothes for winter ones before we head north again.

As a casual reading of the Book of Acts will reveal, much of the ministry of the evangelist is travel and fellowship with other believers.  Luke writes of how itinerant men strengthened and confirmed the churches.  This has been our ministry, particularly this month.  While the travel has been long, the fellowship has been sweet.
