Ministry Update

The Lord is giving us a good meeting here in Short Pump, VA with Pastor Nate Clark. We broke an attendance record Sunday night with 41 in the service and then again last night with 47. We have yet to see anyone trust Christ as Savior, although two raised the hand last night and requested prayer. One, in particular seemed to be under conviction. It seems that things are beginning to click for the core members of the church. They are beginning to realize that evangelism is their responsibility. It has “dawned on them” that they have all the equipment and opportunity they need to bring their friends and co-workers to Christ. Bro. Nate is very encouraged as he sees the growth in the lives of his people. I am still praying for some to be saved and we have two more nights in which to see that happen. Thank you for your prayers.

Family Update

After driving 320 miles to this meeting, Paul announced that he felt as if we had just gotten started, even though we were already at our destination. Obviously, he was the only one with these feelings. I recommended some intense counseling. It was a blessing to be able to arrive in only six hours. Lately, it has taken several days to get to the next scheduled meeting, and many more hours in the truck each day. It has been good to visit with the Clark family, as well as with Beau and Nicole Williams, who came to the services last night, and plan to be there again this evening. Zachary and Collin spent the night with their grandparents, enabling them to play all day long with Josiah. It has been a real zoo. Most of the morning was spent running around in circles chasing one another, with Abigail tagging along behind, crying, “Wait for me!” It has been a lot of fun for Josiah to spend time with his friends.
