FBC Carthage E-News
July 8, 2013
Good Morning,
It is great to be back in
Carthage after an exciting trip to Poplar, Montana. We had 19 team members who worked in Vacation
Bible School with the Native American children.
The high attendance day was the 2nd day with 152
children. The team will share testimony
and pictures this Sunday in the morning services. Thank you for your prayers and support in
this mission effort to Montana.
I want to thank Bro. Jeff
Hall for preaching for me while I was in Montana. It is a blessing to have him on staff and to
have him share in the services. I also
appreciate his writing the E-News for last week and introducing a new
format. I hope you are getting to know
Jeff and Kristina and their daughter, Peyton.May we be a blessing to them as
they are a blessing to us.
Several mission
opportunities remain during this Summer for us to LoveLOUD:
