The Baran Family

What an amazing month! this has been a life changing time for me! I started the month with a missions conference with Pastor Huber and Walker Bible Baptist Church in Hilton, NY near Lake Ontario. I had a great time with them! The messages were wonderful and encouraging. I enjoyed some wonderful local pizza and wings. You can only find this kind of food in Western New York. I am going to miss it when Elizabeth and I move to the Philippines. Their idea of good chicken is Balot. It’s a half incubated chicken or duck egg that has been boiled. Yum!

I was also able to be a part of a mission conference with Elizabeth at her home church, Grace Baptist Church, Greenville, PA. We had a good time! It was our first mission conference together. Pastor Troyer asked me to preach for them several times during the conference and Elizabeth and I sang a special the last night of conference. The Lord worked mightily. Elizabeth and I had a part in inviting a couple that attended several times during the conference. Their names are Benny and Sonny. Benny, Sonny’s wife, is a Filipina from Baguio, Luzon, Philippines. Elizabeth and I had a good time with them. Please pray that they would continue to attend the church.
