Back Home

We are finally home! It was a long and necessary trip. We had 17 appointments in 5 weeks. Some of our supporting churches we visited we had not seen in about 8 years. All of our visits went very well. We had many things we were praying about and most of our request were answered over the last 5 weeks. Praise the Lord! The best part to our travels however, is coming home. It was a little odd coming home to a hotel, but never the less, good to be home! We will stay in a hotel for a couple of days for only $25 a night, and then get our camper set up somewhere. The camper is currently set up at a friends. He has been such a blessing during this awkward time. Our goal is to be in a home no later than early fall. We will look at homes and land to see what is available for purchase and pray that, if it be God's will, God will provide the funds needed to help us get into the home He wants. We are also still praying about the possibility of land and building a home. If we go the land route, we would also have to find a rental as well. Please keep these things in your prayers. We will try to update as often as possible.
Our first Sunday back was absolutely wonderful! We had 38 people including 2 visitors that had started comming a couple of weeks before we got home. Their names are Ross and Helena. They said they wanted to make Newcomb Baptist Church their home. Praise the Lord! Our people had a welcome home sign up and brought a feast for lunch. It was a great day in the house of the Lord!
We also would like to announce some wonderful news. Our oldest daughter Sadie is engaged. She entered into a courtship on her birthday, March 14th, with a fine young man named Chris Kelly. About a month later Chris proposed and put a beautiful ring on Sadie's hand. We are all so excited for the two of them. I will have Sadie and Chris post their stories in the near future.
I also forgot to share with everyone that a young man named Larren asked Christ to save him the Sunday we left on our trip. We are expecting many more to come to Christ with the many summer ministries that will start in about 3 weeks.
Thank you all so much for your prayers and support.
