Church Crusade

Brother Eric Lee preached a wonderful crusade for us. It was the third full week of May. We praise the Lord for the seven that came forward for salvation. Pray that each of these people will grow in faith and they will allow God to make real changes in their lives.

Leadership Conference

Brother Eric Lee, a preacher from my home church, came to St. Lucia in May. He preached a Leadership conference for us. We had several churches participate. It was such a blessing. The main theme of the conference was, “working together”. We had a wonderful time of fellowship and learning.

Tract Distribution

In April we received a container of 2,000,000 gospel tracts. Our original plan was to get just enough tracts for our surrounding area. As time and talk went on it grew into a much larger project. Fellowship Tract League sent 200 boxes of tracts and we are setting up a tract distribution center for the southern Caribbean here is Saint Lucia. Faith, Hope, and Ethan are filing orders and boxing tract to send to Trinidad and Jamaica.

Two flat tires and one van in the ditch

Last Saturday a pastor friend, Chester McDonald, came to our house. When he pulled over to the side of the road he hit the curb and busted his tire. When we found the spare it was bald and had a leaking plug in the side wall. We pumped it up real quick and he decided to make a dash for home. I told him if he needed me for any reason to call.
Sunday morning while I was teaching Sunday School my cell phone rang. It was Chester. He said the tire had blown out again while he was picking up people for church. He said he was calling for my help. WOW! Now what was I supposed to do? I told one young man, Randal, to finish teaching Sunday school, and told Brother Blade to get ready to preach. Then I left the church to go help brother Chester. I picked up Chester, his wife, and their baby off the side of the road and then finished his bus route for him. They only arrived thirty minutes late for their Sunday school. I left their church and rushed back to our church to hear most of the morning message. Brother Blade preached a great message on ways the Devil defeats us. As soon as service was over I took our people home. Before I reached my house Chester called again. His service was finished and they all needed a ride home.
Brother Chester ate lunch with us and then I took him to his van to see if we could get it home. After calling around we found another preacher who would let us borrow his spare tire. On the way back from collecting the spare tire we met another van in a narrow spot on the road. As we passed one another the other van slid into the ditch. It looked rough. We waited by the side of the road until enough men and a truck was there to pull him out. We were just thankful that no one was hurt.
During this time me and Brother Chester had good time talking about the ministry and trying to work together. He invited us to a youth meeting that his church has with another church. Tonight our church, Solid Rock, along with another Missionary and church went to the meeting. We had a great time of fellowship and fun. We even had a little food. I think there were a total of five churches represented there tonight. Please continue to pray for us all here that God will work in our midst.
Thanks for your time and prayers.

Brother Miller

In one of our prayer letters of 2008 we requested for someone to come to St. Lucia for an extended mission trip. Brother Dave Miller is the man that answered the call. Brother Miller flew into St. Lucia on April 14. He has been a great help for us thus far. On April the 15th our container of tracts arrived in St. Lucia. He helped us to unload the container and to organize the 200 boxes of tracts. In the past two weeks. He has been visiting either with us alone five times, ran several errands in town for us, copied lessons for our Bible Institute, and made a couple of repairs around the house. He is staying across the street in a vacant house that is owned by another mission organization. The house does not have hot water, a refrigerator, or a stove. That's almost like being in boot camp. Brother Miller will be staying with us until June the 15th. We praise the Lord for him coming. Keep us all in your prayers.

Another Soul Saved

This has been a very eventful two weeks. The container arrived. Brother Miller came from Indiana for a mission trip. We had three get saved last week on visitation. Then, last night there a teenage girl got saved at Solid Rock Baptist Church. I was not there for the service because I was preaching at Vision Baptist, the church we are starting. My e-mail is down right now and this is the only way I am getting news out at this time. God Bless and stay in touch.

Church material has arrived.

I would love to write a longer post, but I am really running short on time. I did want you to see a couple pictures of the container of tracts and church material that came last week. It is a blessing to see all the work that Christians have put forth to put these materials in our hand. I would like to say a HUGE thank you to Brother David Wood with Frontline Global Missions, Allen Johnson with Bearing Precious Seed, my pastor (and dad) Terry Brock and Light of Calvary Baptist, and Monica’s family for their help and financial contributions to make all this possible.
