Today we ministered at Prairie Baptist Fellowship in Yelm Washington.  Their church is a mission church.  It was started just over 5 years ago.  Now they are running about 80-90 people on Sunday mornings.  Their pastor is Phil Perry.  We were both at Northwest Baptist Seminary at the same time and had several classes together.  He and his wife, Brenda, have 3 little girls, about the same ages as our three children.  The Church recently hired a part time youth pastor.  His name is Matthew Richey.  Matthew is currently going to Northwest Baptist Seminary.  He also works with me in my painting business when he is not studying for his classes or doing youth ministry.<\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

We had a great time at Prairie Baptist Fellowship.  Christina was getting a little cold, so her voice wasn’t too strong, but she made it through our presentation.  I think I am probably getting the same cold.  I woke up this morning and my throat didn’t feel that great.  Somehow the Lord always gives us the strength we need to do want He wants.  We praise the Lord that we were able to get through both services without loosing our voices.  <\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n
