A Word From the Pastor
 

This Coming Sunday      

 

This coming Sunday we are going to be hearing from Dr. Kit Putrakul who, along with his family, serve as missionaries to Cambodia. Dr. Kit will be sharing what God is doing in the lives of his family, the vision God has placed on their hearts for Cambodia, and the number of people God has called out to join them in this service.

 

I would like to say thank you to the number of people in our church who support Kit, Avery and Lucas in their calling. Because of your prayers and financial gifts, they are able to take the gospel were it has never been. Because of your support, you too are part of the planting and the watering Paul speaks of in 1 Corinthians 3:4-9. You are part of taking the Gospel to people who have never heard of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! How awesome is that! Praise God that He uses our gifts and the sacrifices of Kit and his family, and He brings the increase to the Kingdom of God.

 

I ask that you pray for our time together this Sunday as we look forward to what God wants to share through Dr. Kit.

 

Pastor Tim
