Rest and Refreshment

As we head into the week of Thanksgiving, we find ourselves extremely grateful for the past couple of weeks. Beginning on the 13th of November, we attended the annual Macedonia World Baptist Missions conference in Statesville, TN. Wow! What an amazing time of food, fellowship, and worship. The singing was fantastic. The preaching was indescribable. And the spirit of both conviction and comfort was overwhelming. It was such a delight to reunite with other missionaries with whom we have crossed paths as well as meet several other families who are currently on deputation or furlough. It was such a wonderful time, and we left feeling renewed and refreshed.

When Doves Fly. . .or Not

On Sunday, March 31, we had one of our busiest days thus far in deputation. We were invited to Calvary Baptist Church in Statham, GA. While there, Jason taught Sunday School, preached the morning message, and preached and presented our burden in the evening service. I also sang in the evening service. It was a crazy busy day, but we considered it an honor that the pastor trusted us enough to turn over all three services to us.

The people of Calvary were very welcoming and so precious, and the pastor and his wife went above and beyond to make us feel at home and at ease. Besides taking us out to eat (twice), they offered us their lovely home for the afternoon so we could rest and recover before the evening service. We had such a wonderful time chatting with them and getting to know them better. We bonded over our mutual love of animals and our many crazy pet tales. It was such a fabulous day, and the church was more than generous with their love offering as well.
