Recent Meetings
I haven't been a tourist only these last few weeks. Here's a look at the deputation side of my life:
Wed., Aug 8- Chilhowie Baptist Church with Pastor Chuck Herrell
My first church where the work in Tanzania is already well-known. They support both the Wagoners (Bro Greg and Paige grew up under his preaching!) and the Brouwers; and Pastor Chuck has been to TZ! While helping with Scripture collating the next morning, I discovered there's some pretty crazy people in that church!! :-)
Sun., Aug 12- Temple Baptist Church with Pastor Pittman and Pastor Mims
I still get a bit nervous when sharing in front of large churches. I quoted Rm 6:23 in Swahili, but -ooops!-blanked out on the English!! :-) The lights also started dimming for no reason while I was talking. I'm so glad that God does not expect perfection...that He uses us anyway!!! :-)
Sun. Aug 19am- Calvary Bible Church with Pastor Alan Blackwood
Again, had some technical difficulties while trying to use a borrowed projector. The Lord knows how to keep us humble! Thank you for your patience, CBC!
Sun., Aug 19pm- Faith Baptist Church with Pastor Jim Luther
It was great to see a former student here. The world is becoming smaller and smaller!
Sun., Aug 26- Lima Baptist Temple with Pastor Dan Wigton
What?...a meeting without problems? Just lots of driving that day- 2 1/2 hrs there and then back again in one day.
Also this month I renewed my CPR and First aid certification, enjoyed a weekend of family at the wedding festivities of my sister-in-law's brother (did you get that?),and went with the LCCA staff and high school students to Camp Peniel for a week of crazy games and powerful preaching!
Whew!
