Conference President's Schedule
Saundy and I met with Bro. and Sis. Parker, and the other conference presidents and their wives in Kentucky where we worked to develop a mission's handbook and policy. We listened to Bro. Parker's goals and mission dreams. Each of us has brought home an assignment to work on as we develop our handbook.
While we were travelling we got word that Sis. Joann Hobbs had passed away. How our hearts ached for Bro. Mike and for Pastor Daniel who was in the Philippines.
Our visit with Bro. Scobie was cancelled for the Sunday after our missions meeting so we attended the Burlington church with Cherie and Titus for the day.
On Monday I spoke in chapel at GBS and then spent the afternoon in a General Conference subcommittee. How good it was to be with Bro. Chris Cravens, Bro. Hooker and Bro. Miles. My life is enriched by these great Bible Methodist men. In the evening we drove up to Dayton to attend the viewing and second funeral for Sis. Hobbs. We stayed with Sams that night and enjoyed their lovely hospitality and beautiful home.
Tuesday was the set day for Sis. Hobbs burial and we were honored to stand by the family during that traumatic time. They sang and praised the Lord and then the family wept in their own little huddle.
We got home to remodelling work that was in full swing at the Rock Lake Church. Some walls have been removed and this week the platform is being centered in the sanctuary as well as other cosmetic touches. Please pray that God will build His kingdom here.
Saturday is to be a work day at Jay and Amy Janofski's new girls home. God has lead them on a new venture and we are so excited to see what God is doing in their lives.
Sunday we are to be with the Greenville Bible Methodist Church family.
Thank you for your prayers for our family.
GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU!
Please call anytime!
