A Word For Wednesday, The Ingredients For God's Glorious Church

Good Morning! Thank you for joining us today. We are so happy to bring you A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube. 

Today I am telling a short story from C. Roy Angel in the last chapter of his book, Baskets of Silver with a beautiful application within the story.

God's church is a glorious church and it is God's will that we are beautiful ingredients of that church. We may not qualify at all in our current state, but God's grace will cleanse and shape us to be exactly what we are supposed to be. When God is finished with us we will be proper ingredients of God's beautiful church.

I hope you have a super day.

The Weekend Dispatch 5/7/24

I postponed our Weekend Dispatch to post the good news yesterday from Good News Christian school in Nigeria. If you were not able to join us yesterday I hope you will take a moment to check out that Mile Marker. 

This year beginning in late March, our schedule included about 10 weeks in Virginia and West Virginia. This week would have been homecoming and revival for Pastor Brent Gabbard in Elkton, Virginia.

Unfortunately, all of that had to be postponed and we certainly hated to miss our time with our special friends in that part of the country. A few weeks ago, Bro. Gabbard asked if we would consider preaching Homecoming Sunday only. 

Kelly and I were in the midst of deciding to limit our travel for the next couple of months to no more than 300 or 400 miles. This was at the outer limit of that, but within reason and we were happy to say yes. 

So we made the trip, enjoyed wonderful services Sunday and loved every moment of the fellowship with our dear friends in Elkton and a few that were able to attend from the surrounding area. 

We love brother Brent and sister Teresa Gabbard and all the folks at Bible Holiness. We are already looking forward to seeing them again.

We rolled into home Monday afternoon, tired but very happy. We snapped a few pictures to share with you and we hope you enjoy them. Thank you for joining us today.

A Beautiful Sight In Nigeria

I am telling you, friends, this is a beautiful sight!

I received some of these pictures by email on Sunday and a few more overnight going into Monday. I am so thrilled to see them and it makes me happy to share them with you today. 

It takes time to process the money and they did not receive it until Friday. However they had already mobilized the workers and materials. They gathered together and completed the concrete decking on Saturday.

They mixed the concrete on site with a portable mixer and carried it to the second floor and poured it by hand. There was a whole lot of manual labor going on Saturday. 

I have heard from Brother Shobanke and from Brother Samuel Bamidele, his son-in-law. They are both very thankful for the tremendous help toward completing this much needed additional building for the school. 

Of course, there remains much more to do but this is a great mile marker in the process. I am  thankful for those of you that have helped us to help them. Praise God for each of you and the sacrifices you have made for the people of Abeokuta, especially the children in the school.

It is amazing what a few of us can do when we pool our resources for one common cause. May God bless you for joining with me and my burden for these precious people.

Thank you for dropping by today. I hope you have a wonderful week.
