A few sundays ago, Austin declared before the body of Christ at Park that he has been washed clean by the blood of Jesus, and was baptized. Identifying with Christ in his death & resurrection, Austin could not have been more thankful, nor elated. Brian, one of Park's pastors and becoming a friend, baptized Austin. We were privileged to celebrate with some friends from back home in Knoxville, the Beebes! 

Reid, Robin, and their 5 boys were in Colorado for training as they prepare to move to Africa. Please join with us in praying for them as they raise support, prepare their family for a huge move, and for the people they will minister to with the Gospel. 

glad

Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.

For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name.

Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in you.

-Psalm 33:20-22
