Sunbelt Ag Expo 2009

The 2009 edition of Georgia Baptist Ministries at the Sunbelt Ag Expo is in the books. This was the 10th year that we have had a presence at this Premeir Farm Show. Although some of our friends were not there due to extenuating circumstances, God showed up and changed some lives for eternities sake.
Volunteers from Bethel, Colquitt, Grady, and Mercer Baptist Associations came to help. Kyle and Alana Woodfin along with their children represented Legacy Outdoor Ministries; Barbara Waldron face painting; Marcus Flanagan (my right hand man); Andy Hall (Cousin Arthur); Mary Bradley with Disaster Relief and our friends from Campers on Mission helped us as well. Connie Blosch, Dalton and Loretta Gahman, Stephan Massey, The Toombs Family and Crossing 47 provided music. Six new converts were added to the kingdom for which we praise God. 2000 copies of the Invitation CD were distributed, countless bags of popcorn were served and our friends form Campers on Mission gave out cups of cold water in Jesus name.

Face Painting was once again a big draw (thanks Barbara and Alana). Legacy Outdoor Ministries archery exhibit had them lined up taking shots at targets. Funny thing...they had a deer with a gator head that had people with "G" on their hats lined up.

Plans are already being made for next year. We learned alot which is always good and plan on the 2010 event to be the best yet.

Interim Ministry

Sunday, October 11 we began an interim ministry at Central Baptist Church in Albany, GA. This is a first for us in ministry. It is our desire to have God use us to pass the baton of a stronger church to the next pastor. Tonight is our first Adult Bible Study. Holiness is what I long for. Peter writes, "it is written, You shall be holy, for I am holy" (1 Peter 1:16).

Elijah's 6th

Over the weekend, Phyllis and I flew to Springfield, MO for our oldest grandson's 6th birthday. Also, as a part of the trip was to assist our children in their move to an apartment. They have sold their house in preparation for their move to San Francisco in June 2010 to plant EPIC Church.

Elijah is a typical six year old. He enjoys school (he's a kindergartner...what's not to like). This year his interest is Star War's. Helped him build his new Lego's Death Star. Oh, and he loves to wrestle with his brothers and his dad. What a trip.

Here's some more pictures.
