It’s really fun being at a church for a long time. We get to see how people grow in their relationship with God and with one another. A lady in the church accepted the Lord a little short of 2 years ago. She had lived in the community for years but wasn’t “very religious.” Anyway, she asked Jesus into her heart and it’s been really good seeing her grow. She loves the Lord and the church family, and she found a place to serve – she helps every Sunday with our elderly members. And she just shines! A little more news…a few weeks ago a lady called from town and wanted to know our service hours. She showed up for worship on Sunday and we got to talk with her about her relationship to Christ. She said she’d asked Jesus into her heart years ago. She brought her little daughter with her, and they even stayed for Sunday school! After visiting three Sundays, she wanted to tell me a little more about herself. She asked if I would baptize her little girl, who also loves Jesus, and if I would baptize her boyfriend. I told her I would love to talk to both of them. Nancy and I are praying for this opportunity to yield some fruit. Tom & Nancy Stroud
