January 2025

     We had such a great time with Pastor Holland and so enjoyed being a part of the Maranatha Baptist Church missions emphasis month.  Everyone was so welcoming and we enjoyed everyone we had the privilege of speaking with.  Noah was busy making friends also!!

We had the pleasure of spending a couple of days in Kansas.  Unfortunately, as often happens, we didn’t get a picture with Pastor Danny Flippo.  He and his church were such a joy to spend time with and I enjoyed teaching Sunday School and then preaching the evening service.  We did manage to get a picture or two of the snow in Erie Kansas.

On Wednesday night our daughter was baptized.  She was saved several years ago but never got baptized.  Baptism does not save anyone but it is the first step of obedience once a person receives Jesus Christ as their Savior.  It pictures the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus and is done in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.  Thank you Pastor Tom Davis.  Then on Sunday it was a joy to spend time with Pastor Bob Page in Longview Texas.

What a great time we had at the Camp Meeting hosted by Pastor Steve Lindsey and Blessed Hope Baptist Church again this year January 19th through the 23rd.  Good food and fellowship but the singing and preaching was over the top!!  God truly did come down and meet with us as lives were changed and several souls were saved!  A shout out to Missionaries Kevin and Lilly Gasque to Peru, Brother Bob and Mrs Maureen Hoffman, Evangelist Jack Koons, Evangelist Kevin Mann, Evangelist Dan Knickerbocker, Pastor Rusty Hammer, Missionary Joseph McDaris, and so many more including my pastor Brother Todd Ledbetter.

    Charla and Anna together again!

     What a great finish to January with Pastor John Nelson and his wonderful church family in Yukon, Oklahoma.  I have never felt God’s hand on our family like I did before, during, and after the service today, God is so GOOD!!!  I can’t wait to see what he has for us next month.
