We finished our two weeks of traveling with the Crown College trio. It does feel good to be home but we enjoyed very much our time on the tour. The Lord blessed us in so many ways.
Our last post we were in Hopkinsville, KY:
We enjoyed being with Pastor Shaver and his wife at Greater Cumberland Baptist Church. They were so kind to our family and the trio. It was thrilling to see what God has done in their church family. Their facility is amazing. This was the ribbon-cutting:
We were also able to be with Pastor John Dalton in Clarksville, KY. It was great to be with them. Pastor Dalton was our teacher in the Singles Department at Temple before Mark and I were married. Their children have grown so much and we enjoyed getting reaquainted.
We were able to be with Pastor Dan Cox and his family for a Tuesday Evening Service at Berean Baptist Church in White House, TN. We had a nice picnic at a park and fed the ducks. Their children, Phoebe and Ethan, are such cuties. We had a great time with them. Their facilities are so nice. The Lord is working in their church. Dan and Marie are faithfully serving the Lord there, just outside of Nashville.
We were able to be with Pastor Mike Norris at Franklin Road Baptist Church for their Wednesday Evening Service. They had so much going on for that Wednesday night. We were able to hear Evangelist John Bishop preach and meet Jonathon Gibbs, missionary to Peru. We had a nice meal together after the service at Cracker Barrel. The trio sang in their Christian school also.
Our only experience of a stay in someone's home was a very good one. Excluding Maddie waking up and coming into the hall and yelling for me and Maddie letting the dog out and having it scare her to death the next morning, it was the perfect night's stay. We stayed with a wonderful couple that are planning to come to Crown in the fall. They were such a sweet family. The Lord was so good to us in allowing us the opportunity to be with them.
We dropped off the trio in Knoxville and headed up to Ohio to be with our dear friends, Jimmy and Alicia Reagan. We had the wonderful opportunity to be with their church, First Baptist Church, for a ladies banquet (Mark did not have this opportunity :) and to be in their services on Sunday. We had a great time of fellowship with them. The Lord always uses them to encourage us. The Lord is really blessing that ministry. We also enjoyed a great day with them and the children at the Children's Museum in Cincinnati. What fun! Thank you Reagans for a wonderful weekend of fun and fellowship.
This week we have been home and able to catch up on a few things. The college had an All-Star Tournament this weekend that Mark was able to coordinate. We had several boys from different Christian schools to play basketball and see the college. I pray that the Lord uses this to call some of them to come to Crown.
I didn't mean for this to be a journal, but I wanted to share the different churches we have had the opportunity to be in. It is encouraging to meet other people serving the Lord.
Thanks for checking in with us. We will have more journeying in a few weeks. So...check back.
