Lectures in Ministry - Pastor Mike Silva

Pastor Mike Silva from CCIwakuni was our guest speaker this past week. He did a great job of encouraging us to serve the Lord and put him first in our lives. Just as Mary worshiped at the feet of Jesus we too should worship Jesus and not get caught up into the motions of works. Pastor Mike did a great job! It is always a blessing to hear from him. This technology thingy is a blessing!

Precious Prayer Request

Please keep Baby Noah in your prayers; this week he will be going into surgery because the soft spot on the top of his head has closed and for those of you who have children know that the soft spot needs to stay open to allow him to grow. So he will be undergoing surgery to correct the problem. Please join with us in prayer that the Lord would guide the surgeon's hands and that the surgery would be complete. Please pray for Richard and Jeanine that they would have the peace of the Lord.
