We were able to join Pastor Madonna and Covenant Baptist Church in Sterling Heights, Michigan for one night of their missions conference.  It was a blessing to meet another church with a heart for missions!  Though we had never met the church before, many of them came to us already knowing our names and ministry. They kept referring to our prayer letters and were excited about our coming baby!  We thoroughly enjoyed the short time we were able to spend with them!  This dear church also provided a “missionary bag” full of things we will need as we travel down the road.  I know I have said it again and again but it is so true, God has greatly blessed us in our travels! And this is not because we are special.  The Lord will bless those who are willing to follow His plan.  Hard times will come, we haven’t been promised a life free of pain but also realize that God will bless His children.
