A Great Day in the Life of Our Family and Church

O what a day it was! After all that our church and ministry have been through over the last several months we were so thankful to have a day of celebration and thankfulness! We came together as a family to celebrate God's faithfulness and goodness, to celebrate new lives in Christ, and to celebrate His gracious blessings as He works in and through us as his church. We also came together for rich fellowship and renewal of tattered relationships.


It was a special joy for Wendy and I as Emmi was baptized together with 10 other new members to our church. It was a wonderful celebration of new life and the promises of God. As you can see in the picture below each of the people shared a special word for them that captures what God has done for them. They shared such words as: Loved, Humility,Hope, Thanks, Freedom, Life, Brokenness, Joy, Love, and Transformation! Their testimonies were powerful and clear as to the great miracle God had done in their lives, making dead men alive!

Please join with us in prayer for these and the many other new Christians God has given us; that they might be made full and complete in Christ! Please continue to pray for our Church as God restores it and heals its wounds caused by the untimely and ungodly departure of three of our young Brazilian staff.
