| Pastor Billy Sechrist and his wife |
On Monday we traveled to Rockwell, North Carolina for a Wednesday night meeting with West Park Baptist Church. We were going to be staying in their prophets chamber through Friday. This church is being led by Pastor Billy Sechrist since 2016. Before that, Pastor Sechrist was the assistant pastor at this church for 15 years. What a blessing to see that kind of longevity!
Upon our arrival the pastor was painting the church basement, so we put away our stuff and jumped in to help him paint the basement. We painted for several hours Monday and then most of the day on Tuesday. We figured we should live up to our name! Lol!

On Tuesday evening my wife attended the ladies meeting at the church and had a fantastic time. I went with the pastor and a group of men from the church to a nursing home service in the town of Salisbury. One of the men named James Miller was preaching for the first time there. He was a little nervous, but did a great job! I witnessed to a man named David whom I discovered was already saved. He wanted me to sit with him through the service and pray with him about some major health problems he has. Please pray for him as you read this!

On Wednesday we went out on the teen soul winning bus in the afternoon. I went with a young man named Josh as my partner. We went to two different areas to knock doors and had to battle the rain off and on. While out I met a fourteen year old boy named Hunter. Hunter said his family use to go to another Baptist church in the area, but haven't attended for six years. He didn't know where he would go for his eternity, but said he often wonders and thinks about it. I was able to show him the Gospel and he bowed his head and trusted Christ as his Saviour. Praise God!

Then we went back to the church and ate dinner at the church before the evening service. Before the service the building was filled with a friendly atmosphere and there was a full auditorium. We really enjoyed meeting the people before and after and listening to some good music in the service. After the youth choir sang, I gave testimony and showed our video. Then I had the opportunity to preach to the people. The sermon seemed to touch hearts and the invitation had a very moving spirit for missions. Then the pastor held a spur of the moment vote to take us on for monthly support, which went through with no opposition. We praise the Lord for a new partner for the lost souls of Thailand!

We truly enjoyed every moment we spent at this church. It is clearly obvious that Pastor Sechrist has a real heart for souls and is doing everything he can to reach this area for Christ. Please pray for their church to continue to succeed in their mission of warning and winning their area. Please pray for us as we have meetings in Greensboro and Hillsborough this weekend.
