On Sunday, we had the opportunity to be with two different churches in Georgia. Since one of the churches was close to us and held an afternoon service, we were able to head to our home church and catch the tail end of the service at Vision Baptist on Sunday night. We are grateful that the Lord allowed us to be there that night and see friends and church family. We also heard that on e new church voted to take us on for support! Tomorrow, we will be in Tennessee before heading up to churches in Ohio and Indiana.
Today, I also had the opportunity to preach at the World Evangelism Fellowship. This is a special missionary fellowship to help encourage and strengthen missionaries who are in the United States. Missionary Jesse Turpin who leaves for Indonesia shortly and missionary Shawn Bateman also preached during the fellowship meeting. We are grateful to have them as friends and fellow laborers in the Gospel.

From the News
Surprisingly, one of the major causes of death in Japan is suicide. Each year, more people commit suicide in Japan that people who perished during the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan. Last year, the number of young people who committed suicide in Japan was at a 30-year all time high. Please continue to pray for us so we can get the message of hope to Japan.
