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.

Gil Fremont is the coach of the Bob Jones Ministry Soccer team that was with us for a few short days last week. Gil and I had opportunity to talk a bit during that time and it was a refreshing conversation. Gil has a heart for missionaries and missions. He longs to be here with us ministering to Brazilians. He has brought young men here as a part of the soccer ministry for the last seven years and during those visits God has laid Brazil on his heart. "I have had players go to various fields all over the world but none to Brazil. My burden is here! I'd like to start an orphanage or home for girls who live on the street." We would love to have a man like Gil and his wife working with us. Pray for God's continued direction in their lives.
Hey, snazzy design! I'm impressed!
