What A Week

     So far this has been a fantastic week. On Monday and Tuesday  Oct. 20th and 21st I was able to attend the Annual Meeting of the Nine Mile Baptist Association and it was truly a blessing.  The business sessions were crisp, to the point, and I must say the Lord was truly lifted up in every way possible. After the business sessions we were truly blessed by hearing from missionaries from: Chile, the Phillipeans, and Africa.  We pray constantly for our missionaries, however, when you are able to hear, touch and feel them in person it causes the tears to flow, and a deep desire within the heart to do more and more to see to it that they are able to do what they have been called to do. God truly blessed during these sessions.

     And Wednesday evening was well it is hard to describe. In our Adult Prayer Meeting we read, out loud to each other in the Book of Psalms. Oh what a blessing it is to hear the Word of God, and then our specific prayer time when God really blessed. So strong was the Spirit and so powerful the prayers that goosebumps covered my arms, and tears filled the eyes of those present. And to top that off, there were 12 young people in attendance along with two leaders. 14, WOW.  I know an attendance report of 17 does not seem to be much to SHOUT about but when you consider how low we were to how high we are it is AMAZING what the Lord is doing at Ava Missionary Baptist Church. We cannot wait for Sunday to see what God has in store for us.
