As we are now in mid-July, I have been with you at Fee Fee for 2 ½ months. First, I want to say what a blessed time this has been thus far! This church I am beginning to call home has been welcoming to me from the first steps I took in the door. We have moved from a rainy spring to the inferno of a Missouri summer. You have heard me preach, a message that I still must remind myself of almost daily; to persevere in prayer and never give up. I joined our Chi Alpha students on a mission trip to Washington, D.C. There, I saw the love our students have for the Lord and the hearts they have for both worship and service. As you read this and Lord willing, I am with our team in the Dominican Republic. Pray for open hearts to the Gospel, ready hands to serve, and endurance for our team to continue the work that began a few years ago. The Lord has certainly been good to this church.
The Lord has also been good to me through this season! Serving Fee Fee Baptist Church is one of the biggest blessings in my life and a responsibility I do not take lightly. This ministry position has stretched me in ways I needed stretching and comforted me in areas I needed comforting. Candidly, this also has been a difficult season in my personal life and relationships. But God is good, all the time. I am thankful for the staff I serve alongside, who have welcomed me and loved me well in this season. As we gear up for Monumental VBS and look forward to the fall, I humbly ask that you pray for your staff. Pray that we would hear the Lord’s voice clearly and not move without his lead. Pray that God would be honored through our efforts to build our lives on Jesus and pursue the good of our community. Pray that servants would join us in the various ministries in need of helping hands. And trust that God is gracious to provide all that we need and more.
