It has been some time since our last update. Ministry has been very busy, and I am excited to share with you what the Lord has been doing: On Easter Sunday, we started special meetings with Evangelist Jake D’Andrea.

Praying Friends, We are so thankful for your faithful financial and prayer support. Exciting things are happening at Community Baptist Church:  Two weeks ago we had a baptismal service in which Gio, Ariana, and Dee were baptized. All three were saved this past summer and they are continuing to grow rapidly in their faith. There were 7 first-time visitors who had been invited by those being baptized.
