Oswego

Sunday we spent the day in Oswego, NY with Pastor Paul Walker and the church family of Bible Baptist Church. We had a great time of fellowship around God's word and were greatly encouraged by the outpouring of love that we felt by the brothers and sisters there. The Sunday school hour where we presented our ministry was very well attended as was the morning and afternoon service. We enjoyed a great meal with the church family and were able to get to know some wonderful people. There was a sincere interest in the furthering of the gospel in the Philippines by the people and we had a good session of Q+A for people to inquire more about us, the Philippines and church planting. What blessed me greatly in this meeting was the testimony of so many members speaking to how much they love their pastor. I heard story after story that demonstrated love and servant leadership. It is obvious that this is a catalyst in the growth of the church and we will be excited to hear how God continues to move in that community as a result. Once again we praise the Lord for the opportunity to share our burden.
