First, Elliot Sneed preached a strong Biblical message on… Read More »
Jamaica (Friday)
The work in Jamaica has been physically exhausting but fulfilling in every other way. All of Catadupa is mountainous, so when someone wants to build a water reservoir at the spring on the top of the mountain they have to find a way to get supplies to the top. This week we learned the way… Read More »

Sunday Highlights 9.20.2015
Here are a few of the highlights from Sunday at FBC: • Three young believers were baptized during the 10:30 AM worship service and I know their families are rejoicing that these children now have a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Today was the second day for our team to visit homes in Egichikeni and it was obvious God was at work.

In this culture children stay in… Read More »
