Today's Expeditions

Our group began the day by meeting with Mr. Eborn, his wife, and two other ladies from the church that work in the FBN radio ministry. They took us out to Bojangles for breakfast, and we had a wonderful time of fellowship. After breakfast, Pastor Nathan Deatrick, our quartet leader and preacher, talked to a man about Christ, but he was indifferent to the gospel. Please pray for this man that he will be saved.

Once we got back to Grace Missionary Baptist Church, we met with Mr. Larry, and he took us to Cherry Point Marine Base. It was pretty amazing! We were able to see some helicopters, and fighter jets. There were soldiers doing target practice
with their M-16 rifles. It was pretty cool hearing all of those guns going off at the same time.

Tonight's service was at Immanuel Baptist Church in Edenton, NC with Pastor Randy Browder. We had a great time of fellowship with him and his family. It was a blessing to be able to serve and minister for the Lord in the evening service. Michael and Pastor Nathan Deatrick sang two duets, and we also sang a few solos.

Pastor Deatrick preached out of Acts 1:1-11. The title was "It's Not About You And Me Anymore." He gave six reasons why it is not about us. 1. "It's all about Jesus in His work. 2. It's all about Jesus in His Word. 3. It's all about Jesus in His Worthiness. 4. It's all about Jesus in His Witness. 5. It's all about Jesus in His World. 6. It's all about Jesus in His Coming Woes. This message was a challenge and a conviction to my heart.

We are staying in a nice prophet's chamber at the church. It is such a blessing to serve our Lord in ministry. Please continue to pray that we will see many more souls come to Christ during our quartet trip.
