April 20, 2016

Our week at Holmen Baptist Church was such a blessing! The musical talent in that church (100 people) is amazing. The choir did such a great job. Visitors came out and the Lord blessed. We are currently at Central Baptist in Stephenson, MI. The sweet people in this church are looking for a pastor and we hope they find one soon. It's not often that we find ourselves in the upper peninsula of Michigan and we are enjoying our time ministering to this body of believers. When we leave here we get to drive on highway 2 through Manistique and down through Mackinaw City to Onaway, MI. This will be our first time ministering at First Baptist Church.

Vehicle Updates: Last week I put new seals, gaskets, rotors, and pads on our truck. I think getting 157,000 miles on the original brakes and rotors is rather exceptional. Everything else is running fine, at the moment. Our trailer is also operating very well. We will have it in the dealer this summer for our bi-annual routine maintenance check-up. September will mark 9 years of owning our "Home on Wheels."

Once we leave Michigan, our next two weeks will be crazy. Allie and Aubrey graduate and Drew gets married.

Again, thanks for praying for us!

April 6, 2016

It's April and Old Man Winter is still hanging on. Last week we were in our home church in Bedford, Virginia and God really moved in hearts. We are now property owners in Bedford County! The Lord allowed us to purchase 1.5 acres of land 7 miles from our church, in the country. A rectangular, half acre section is in front surrounded behind by beautiful woods. A huge blessing is that the land already has a well, septic, power, and a gravel driveway. We dug trenches well below the frost line and installed septic, water, and power extensions to move everything close to the driveway. The next time we pull in, a full hookup will be awaiting us. Praise the Lord! This week we are at Heritage Baptist in Woodbridge, VA and the Lord is blessing in the church and school. Our next destination will be in chilly Wisconsin, where we are really hoping for unusually warm temperatures. Thanks for your prayers and support! God bless!
