Niagra Falls



Sorry it has been so long since the blog has been updated. I have not been able to get Internet for the past week. So much has gone on and I will not be able to recount it all, but needless to say, God has been good.

A few days ago, we went to Niagara Falls. It was amazing. For some of us it was the first time we got to see the falls. We even rode the Maid of the Mist to see the falls from the bottom.

Last night we were at Faith Bible Church in Elizabethtown, PA. This is Daniel Brubaker's home church, so he was happy to be back at home. Mr. Hanke preached a message with the plan of salvation clearly presented, and a young man (Still in his teens) accepted the Lord as his Saviour!!

Today, we are just laying back and taking it easy. Nathan Fry took us out shooting this morning. We started with shooting a 20 and 12 gauge shotgun. Then we went to shooting .22's. We had a lot of fun.

The next few days will be full of fun and good times. We will be passing through Philly and doing some sightseeing. Then we will be heading up to New York City!We are looking forward to seeing what God is going to do in the coming days and weeks. Please continue to pray for us as we travel and sing.

Lancaster, PA

Last night we had the privilege being at Lancaster Baptist Church. The pastor is Timothy York, and he attended Ambassador Baptist College many years ago. Pastor Nathan Deatrick and Pastor York knew each other in school.

Their church is five years old, and it was a blessing to be serving with them in this new work. Pastor York gave us preacher boys some wise advice on ministry. I asked him what was the most important thing that he has learned in church planting, and he said that patience is the key in ministry. We were appreciative of his counsel.

Today we are picking up Mr. Hanke, the Dean of Men, from the Harrisburg, PA international airport. He will be traveling with us as our preacher for approximately two weeks. We are looking forward to the time we can be with him.

Home Sweet Home!

Well, it has been exciting to be in the good ole state of Virginia. We arrived in Chesapeake, VA on Saturday afternoon and met with Pastor Godfrey and his asst. Pastor John Godfrey. They took us out to a field and let us shoot well over 200 rounds of ammunition. We shot everything from a 44 Colt to a 22. We all had a great time.

Kevin and I had a enjoyed visiting at the Brannon residence as we talked and fellowshipped with them. Daniel Brubaker and Nathaniel Minion made the trek from Ohio and arrived in Chesapeake around 3 AM Sunday morning. It is good to finally have the quartet together.

Sunday morning we were at Great Hope Baptist Church. During the Sunday School hour, all of us in the quartet gave our testimonies. Then during the service the quartet sang and Kevin played his viola. It was all the way around a great service.

For the evening service we traveled to Hampton, VA which is only about 30 min from Chesapeake. It was great to see their ministry and fellowship with their members. I had the privilege of speaking with the Fluery family who are preparing to train to become missionaries under Silent Word Ministries. It was just a blessing to hear how God had been working in their lives, and calling them to full time ministry. Please pray for them as they continue to train to serve God.

This morning we sang for chapel at Bethel, and we are currently on the road up to PA. Please continue to pray for us as we travel. Tonight we will be in a meeting with Dr. Beal, and Pastor Deatrick will be preaching a message on Baptist History. We are excited about this coming week, and seeing what God is going to do!
