The Baran Family

It was a blessing to return to Anchor Baptist Church and present our work.  This church is located in a very nice store front and is just eighteen months old.  Early on in this ministry, Pastor Jamison introduced missions to his people and I think the Lord has blessed them for it. They currently have thirty to forty people going to their church!  It was a blessing to see a faithful group not only attend services but also help out in the nursing home ministry.

We were able to take part in a missions emphasis meeting this past Sunday.  Pastor Brenly invited me to come and preach for all three services and also allowed my wife to play her violin. Mrs. Julie Brenly has been a friend of my wife since they were very young although they hadn’t seen each other for years.  After the morning service we had time to fellowship and enjoyed some good food.  It was evident that this church has a heart for missions. They already support close to forty missionaries.

We were excited to be a part of  Faith Bible Baptist’s missions conference this year! It was a particular blessing to be able to spend time with the people from our church.  Because of our travels it’s not often that we get to see them for more than a service.  It was also nice to see a great number of  missionaries we know from deputation.  It was a great reunion for us.  The week was wonderful and we came away from the meeting truly blessed.   We would like to thank Faith Bible Baptist Church for their faithful support through their friendship, prayer, and finances!  They have been a continual friend and blessing to us!
