Great Weekend in Illinois

Pastor and Mrs. Eddy

Pastor Harrison

Junior Ushers

This past weekend we were in Illinois at a couple of great churches. We spent Sunday morning with Pastor Jim Eddy and the Victory Baptist Church in Macomb, IL. I was able to teach Sunday school and then present our ministry during the morning service before I preached the morning service. Pastor Eddy has been here ten years and staying strong by the stuff. We have known the Eddy family since 1998, it was an enjoyable time.

Then Sunday evening we traveled to Lockport, IL and attended the evening service at Grace Baptist Church with Pastor Keith Harrison. I was privileged to be able to present our ministry in the evening service and really enjoyed listening to Pastor Harrison preach on Stewardship. Pastor Harrison has been here four years and he use to be a missionary in Argentina for 16 years. His church has an obvious heart for missions.

We had a meeting rescheduled for later in the year and ended up being in our home church Wednesday night. It was junior usher night, which is done once a month. It was enjoyable watching the junior ushers attend the ushers meeting with the adult men ushers. Then during the offering time watching them pick up the offering was fun. They all had smiles from ear to ear on their faces!

I was able to lead four souls to Christ this past week and my wife two while out soul winning. Two of mine are supposed to attend our home church this coming weekend, please pray that they do. Names are Wah Nay and Paw Gay, they are Karen people from Burma. Also, please pray for us as we head to Minnesota this weekend.
