As I sit here and reflect on what happened yesterday, I’m taken back by the goodness of God. As the old saying goes from the TV Show the “A Team,” “I love it when a plan comes together.”
it is so amazing to me that God speaks to us the way that he does. I all honesty I go into these conferences wondering what God is going to say, and how he is going to direct for the coming year. How are the people going to be moved. I received a text message from one of the members last night that pretty much summed up the day for me, it simply said, “WOW!” The bottom line is this God showed up. I began the conference in the morning in Isaiah 6. In verses 1-7 we see the forgiveness of Isaiah has he comes face to face with the King. Then, in verse 8 we find the word “also.” Forgiveness is not the end of the plan it is just the beginning. God had something for Isaiah to do. Again in the evening service Dan Weaver, Missionary to Belize brought a message out of 2 Kings 13 about limiting God by limiting your faith. The conclusion I brought from the day was that God is calling some of our people into the mission field, and that excites me. Pray for the conference! Pray that God would send for laborers into the harvest!
We also became the sending Church for the Clarks in London. This was an exciting time. It has been quite some time that we have been a sending Church, so this will be a great step in the spiritual growth of our people. God has seen fit over the last 20 years to put Brian and Mindy in my life in a very real and personal way. I believe Fellowship Baptist Church becoming his sending Church is a perfect fit. I am in the process of talking to Brain about an upcoming missions trip to London so stay tuned.
Kiana Bullard, one of our college students, presented her short term missions endeavor to the Hope for Louisville this summer. She is going to living in the homeless shelter there in Louisville for the purpose of building relationships with people and sharing the gospel with them. I can’t wait to hear the miracles God does in her life over the summer. Please pray for Kiana, that God was give her boldness to speak the truth. If you would life to help by supporting Kiana on this short term mission endeavor you can contact the Church office at 806-273-7127.
All in all it was a great day in the Lord, and this is just the beginning. Today we start our Pastor’s School.
