September 2025

     It was such a great start to September to kick off Missions month at Fundamental Baptist Church in Palmer Texas.  We dropped in for a visit last year, so we had already met a lot of their great church family, but it was such a joy to get to know everyone.  A big thank you to Pastor James Smith, his wife, and everyone for being such a blessing to us and making it a great day in the Lord.

We had such a great time at New Beginning Baptist Church with Pastor Bryan Easley and his wonderful church family at this year’s Missions Revival.  We heard great messages and challenges from Mark Thrift and Gary Coleman, what a blessing.  Each day was full of great food, fellowship, and worship with great congregational singing and through the amazing singing of Living Proof.  We are thankful to see some old friends and of course make some new ones.  Wednesday, we had the opportunity to spend time in Cushing Ok with Pastor Chad Handy and his great congregation at Faith Baptist Church.  A big thank you to everyone that made this an awesome week!

We had such a good time with Pastor Sye Duke in El Dorado Arkansas at Northwest Baptist Church.  He also pastors a second church nearby so not only did I get to preach at Northwest, but I also had the privilege of presenting at his other church as well.  What a great day in the Lord with two great congregations.  What a great day to end out the month of September.
