Trip starts tomorrow

Tomorrow we leave for the Dominican Republic. We are going to help church planters do whatever they want us to do. The only definite on our itinerary is when our planes are scheduled to depart and arrive, Sunday School is on Sunday morning, and Worship is on Sunday evening. Other than that, we are going to serve those we will be with.

Eleven of us are going from 4 different churches (and not all of them are Southern Baptist.....) I'm looking forward to seeing what God is doing there. From what I understand, He is working in ways there that we do not see Him working here in the States.

I have no idea whether I will have Internet access. If so, perhaps an occasional entry will show up. If not, I guess we will see how much makes its way here after we return.

Reading List

Quotable Quote

At a recent Convention Council meeting in Scottsdale, Nancy Jones, the President of Baptist Senior Life Ministries in Az, made the following statement:

"Who is going to attend your funeral and NOT look at their watch?"

Kinda makes you think, doesn't it.........
