Who is that who determines our steps? We make all our plans, but
WHO is it that is sovereign over every circumstance? Ah, yes. It's the
Lord God Almighty, Lover of our souls, Maker of heaven and earth. We can rest easy. So friends, we have some announcements to make and changes to know. Remember, the missions mindset requires flexibility!
Some of you know that Dr. Bob Alderman, who was going to be our Keynote Speaker for Sunday morning and evening and Monday evening, is now unable to join us. Pastor Bob's older brother has been nearing Glory for some time now, and on Wednesday night, Pastor Ed called him to relieve him of his commitment here with us. This was certainly the right thing to do and Pastor Bob was thankful for it.
But we are so grateful that
Dr. Daniel Kamaraj, who was going to be our Keynote for next Friday evening and Sunday morning, will be bringing his messages on
Advancing the Gospel in a Hostile Environment on this coming
Sunday morning (9:00 and 10:45)
and evening (6:30-8:00). Then, on
Monday evening,
Terry Martin, one of our esteemed visiting missionaries, will be opening the Word for us. Please keep these men in your prayers as they will be preparing and making changes in their plans.
Also, one more announcement! We will be having childcare available for anyone who would like to come to Monday, Tuesday, or Friday morning's sessions at church from 9:30 to 11:00. So please, if you're a Mom who could come, but needed somewhere for your kids to go, please come and bring them! Thanks so much, and tell your friends!!!
And lastly, I just want to thank everyone for coming out last night to help set-up the church and make it beautiful for the conference! We all sooooo appreciate it! THANK YOU!!!
