Thanks to a generous gift through the office of Dr. Greg Wrigley and the West Virginia Convention of Southern Baptists, we were able to purchse the Study Bibles and reference books pictured here. These will be given to the attendees of our Pastor and Church leader seminar to be held on Monday and Tuesday.

Jay, Robby Pearson and I have been busy the last couple of days preparing for the seminar and working through hotel officials to make sure things will be ready on Monday morning. God seems to be putting everything together in this regard.

This morning, Bobby Wood, Joey Spurgeon, and Billy Cox went out early to the New Life Church and did preliminary work for the construction project that will take place on Monday (and possibly Tuesday). In just a few minutes, all of our team will be headed for Mayaposi, Mabinay in a remote mountainous area for crusade activities tonight. Tomorrow promises to be a very busy day as our team will be split into three groups, with two going north to churches in Bais and Mayaposi, while one group will stay at the New Life Church with Pastor Valdez. Jay, Robby, and I will be doing the preaching duties tomorrow at the three churches. Others will help with songs, prayers and testimonies. All of us will be together tomorrow evening for a music workshop at New Life.

Joey Spurgeon is diligently video taping much of the goings on here and I do look forward to seeing his final production after we get home. I'm sure he will post it on You Tube so everyone will be able to enjoy it.

All for now. Tonight promises to be a late one as the trip back from Mayaposi will take nearly three hours. Then we turn around and go back in the morning at 8:00 AM! I wish we could just stay up there but it is not feasible this time.

All of our love to each of our family members. We miss you, and hope you have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day Week End back home.

God bless.
