Indianapolis, Kokomo, and Berne, Indiana

Pastor Ford Glover

We spent the weekend with Suburban Baptist Church in Indianapolis, Indiana. This church is led by Pastor Ford Glover for the past eight years. He is doing a fabulous job here as the crowds were great. I have known Pastor Glover for over 22 years having originally met him at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Colorado Springs in 1996 when my wife and I attended a conference there. In fact we stayed in his house! It was a blessing to get to see him and his family and the work that he is doing in Indianapolis.

Preaching Sunday morning

On Sunday morning I taught the Sunday school in the auditorium for 7th grade up to all the adults. Then I preached the morning service as well as the Sunday evening service. The crowds were very good and the people responded well. We enjoyed the special music in the both the services. It was a blessing to be here. They have a great Christian school with about 300 students enrolled. Their facilities are top notch! God is doing some great things here and I have no doubt that God is going to do some even greater things here in the years to come.

Special Sunday morning

Wednesday evening we attended the Bible study at Faith Baptist Church in Kokomo. This church was started in 1995 by Pastor Andrew Green. The folks were very friendly and I was able to give a testimony about what we will be doing in Thailand. 

Pastor Ryan Marsh

Then on Thursday night we attended the service at Faith Baptist Church of Berne. Pastor Ryan Marsh has been here about 2 years now and is doing a great job with the church. We have been here before and this is one of our partnering churches. We were here because we were staying in their prophets chamber before heading to Michigan for the weekend. Their church is such a blessing to us!

Preaching Thursday night

Pastor Marsh had me preach the evening message that night and it was fun to preach on a topic that wasn't missions. I enjoy preaching missions, but it is nice to preach on other topics sometimes. We weren't idle during our stay here as my was able to help Mrs. Marsh with some things in the office and I went out door knocking and soul winning with Pastor Marsh. We didn't see anyone trust Christ but not because we didn't try! We had a great time witnessing and having fellowship as we went. God is doing some great things here through this church and we are excited to be partners with them!
