That I May Know Him

And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. ~ 1 John 5:20 (KJV)

Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? Jeremiah 23:29

Off to China

Our beloved missionaries left the country very early this morning to find their way back solely in the hands of the Lord. They are plowing the work of mission field in China. We didn’t have a chance to spend too much time with them this summer, as they had to tour the country to visit other churches that support them.

However, it was a blessing for us, their home church, to see them one last time yesterday evening, and to cling on to every word that they had to speak. Please pray for them, and all the missionaries to China, as Christian persecution is REAL in that country.

***Speaking of missions, Pastor Larry and a large number of our church members, including my brother (Revelation 2:17), are off to Toledo, Ohio this week for a missionaries’ conference. Anybody could attend really, but it’s especially helpful for men who have a burdened heart for missionary work. I wish I could have attended, but I already used up my three-week vacation at work. That is alright though. I will use these few days to catch up on a lot of important things, especially tons of Bible reading! ***
