Sorry it has been a while since we have posted. Mike was literally out of town for at least 20 days of October. God continues to be faithful in our journey here in Vegas. Just over this year we have seen 27 baptized and at least 30 come to know the Lord. All Praises and Glory to our Amazing Heavenly Father!
TRIP TO AFRICA
Mike had the opportunity to go to Africa with another church plant from Vegas to help teach the leaders and families of the Dagara Group in Burkina Faso. They were able to start the building of a new church, share the gospel, and encourage the people there. He had a wonderful time and of course came back a changed person. Please continue to pray for this people group as they seek God's Wisdom to carry on His name to others.
BACK TO ARKANSAS
Wynne Baptist invited us back to GIC (Global Impact Conference) to share with them what God is doing through us as North American Missionaries in Las Vegas as we have planted a church, NorthStar Baptist. What a wonderful time we had reuniting with others that have been called out and being blessed by WBC in so many ways. Thank you to all that were involved and to all of you who to continue to support our family in your prayers. We were very busy while in Arkansas, but we did have time to visit family and to also take a short trip down to Louisiana to see our dear friends Matt, Jesi, and the band Altar'd (you should check them out on myspace).
WELCOME FALL 2009
We are loving the "cooler" weather here in Vegas! We have all become pansies to the cooler months after living in the intense heat of the summers. The kids love to go to what they call a pumpkin patch (which is not like the souths), which consists of a small carnival with rides, fair food, and of course pumpkins! Since we do not celebrate Halloween we always try to do something fun for them on that night. This Halloween we started a fire and roasted hotdogs and smore's for them. They had a blast, especially Nathan. We also allowed them to carve pumpkins for fun. Alexa, of course thinks she is too big, but we did talk her into it for a little while!
