Our Wonder Couple

This is Junior and Dani. They are the newest couple in our church. What... they are the Only couple in our church. Other than Dawn and me.

We are praising the Lord for their recent Salvation. Both of these kids, I say kids because Junior is 19 and Dani is 17, were born and raised in another religion. It wasn't until just a few months ago, because of a set of “circumstances”, that Junior left that religion. Dani continued for awhile after Juniors exit but then she too began to see that it was time for her to leave.

Not long after that Junior became interested in our coworker Alexandre's ministry in the Habiteto. A friendship and a Bible study began. Just two or three weeks into that study both Junior and Dani made professions of faith in Christ as their Savior.

So, why are they our “Wonder couple?” Well, they both are very talented. Junior is a musical genius, at least from my perspective. There doesn't seem to be an instrument that he cannot play. He can sing. Which is a rare commodity in our circles. Not only that but he knows how to help other people sing! He also does musical arrangements. Dani, though still in high school, is training to be a nurse and she too is musical. She plays the flute.

The real Wonder comes as results of God's gift of salvation. After having been raised in another religion for their entire lives, the fact that they were able to come out is a wonder of God's grace. We're praising the Lord for his blessing.

Both Junior and Dani are young in the Faith but very excited about their new relationship in Christ. Pray with us for them. We are praying that God continues to grow them for His glory.

Daughter and dog...

About six months ago we discovered that Ann was pregnant and were very excited for she and Jackson. We will have babies on this side and that of the Atlantic. We weren't prepared for that news and we we were even less prepared for the news that our little dog is pregnant. To date we have spent more on the dog than on Annie (don't tell her... Ann that is). Ann has yet to discover whether her baby is a boy or girl. Both ultrasound images were inconclusive. Though I did some further investigation of my own and was startled with what I found. to me it looks as if the baby is definitely a boy and has some resemblance from both sides of the family. Take a look for yourself and let me know what you think.

Entertaining Angels

Hebrews 13:1 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. 2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. Hospitality is a gift. It can also be a learned trait. Some people seem as if having strangers in their homes is normal and natural. Others have to fight against themselves in order to have friends over for a meal.  The author of Hebrews says that some have entertained angels when they thought that they were helping a stranger. That's weird. This statement brings questions to mind. Do angels eat? Of course, silly, they eat angel food cake!  Seriously, who in the Bible entertained angels by accident? Well, how about Abraham, Lot or Jacob? Granted, Jacob's treatment of the Angel of the Lord was questionable. But he did wrestle the night away, when in fact that angel could have dislocated Jacob's hip early in the match.  Abraham, read Sarah, prepared a big meal and Lot had to offer ...

Music Conference

This is going to be a long post. Just a few days ago I was trembling in my boots as the First Baptist Church of Lake Orion's missions team was just hours from their arrival. My fears were many because I felt that the weight of success or failure of their visit would fall on me and I could see a tremendous failure looming. I knew that the team would come well prepared and ready to minister. I knew that there would not be a lack of talent and experience on their part. I knew that they would have great expectations I just didn't know how our people would react or if they would attend. My fear was that the attendance would be poor and that the team might go away frustrated. God be praised! God be glorified! God be worshipped! I highlight the previous paragraph because my Father deserves all of these and more. Let me explain. It is a wonderful story. The team, Jim and Hannah Watson, Faith Gaskell and Brenda Johnson, arrived safe and sound on Tuesday, July 19 though Brenda lost he...
