Due to circumstances beyond my control we left late on Monday. We drove until midnight and got a hotel room in Blytheville, AR.  Got a good night's rest and got back on the road and arrived back about 6:45 tonight. I was glad to see my family and was excited to get a nice round of hugs from all.  I am tired but it is a good tired.

The trip was very successful.  We had a great time at Avoyelles Correctional Center and saw 40 kids come to Christ, led to salvation through their dads.  That is what this ministry is about and that is why I am so grateful to be a part of it. 

My prayer is that each father in our own church family would rejoice in the role that God has given them as the spiritual leader of their family.  They would desire to see their children come to know Christ and start sharing that good news at an early age.  Dads, God gave us the responsibility for our children's spiritual growth.

Yesterday at Angola we had a great meeting with the Malachi Dads Leadership Team.  I spent a great time fellowshiping with my friend George King.  George shared with me that he is thankful that God has given him us as family.  Please keep George in prayer.  He is thankful for our church family and looks forward to the day he can come serve along side us.

I will return to the office tomorrow, it will be good to get back at things here at FVBC.  It is wonderful to be abe to serve the Lord.  Because of Him, Pastor.
