Mtn. Home Again,

Here we are in Mountain Home, Arkansas. This people from this town have been very instrumental in adding to our ministry team. This is my, Steve's, hometown, and it always feels very good to come back.
This morning we shared our ministry with East Side Baptist Church. This is the church that my, Steve's, family attends. We had a great time there. Please pray for the people that heard our message, that God would make it clear whether or not he wants them to be part of our ministry team.
Tonight we are going to share at New Life Bible Church. This is a chruch where my good friend Dave Chapman is the pastor. It's neat to have people so excited about our ministry.

We had two great Thanksgiving feasts this year. One at Laura's grandparents in TN with all of her family, and one with my family in Arkansas. We love our families, and we are so thankful that they are supportive of God's call in our lives to serve overseas. We will definately miss them while we are away.a

Busy Busy!!

This week and next we are busy presenting our ministry at Coffee/Dessert Fellowships. It is a neat way to share our ministry with peaopl in more of a relaxed environment, informal environment than a church service. We plan to have more of these fellowships. If you are interested in coming to one please let us know.
On Friday night, Laura had a sleepover with some of the high school girls from the youth group. It's been cool having time to spend with the youth at church this year.
Please pray this Sunday, as we work with the Global Impact Team at Grace Fellowship Church. We will be defining our role as GFC missionaries, and they will be defining their role as our sending church. We are really thankful to have a church that believes in us like Grace does, and we look forward to working with Grace for years to come.

Teenager Sitting

This week we have had the priviledge of house sitting, and being around for three awesome kids from our church while their parents were away. Laura and I both really enjoy working with youth, and that's why on Wednesday nights, when we are in town, we help lead a home group of about ten high-schoolers. Tonight, at home group, we are going to present our ministry, and tell them how God called us to be missionaries. Maybe, God can use our testimonies to draw them to serving him with their lives.
