After seeing my support level fluctuate back and forth around 45%, I’ve finally see it break away and now get a little over 47%. Praise the Lord! I’m thankful for how the Lord led in the hearts of a family in Illinois to take me on for support.
I’m currently at the Baptist Mid-Missions Annual Conference. I’ve already been blessed by the speakers, the fellowship with other missionaries, and the excellent special music. I feel quite humbled to be rubbing shoulders with such faithful servants of the Lord. I’ve especially appreciated Dr. Doran’s messages. He is speaking on biblical discernment.
I’m looking forward to going golfing tomorrow with some of the missionaries. This event has actually been a blessing in disguise. I wasn’t sure if my back was ready for golf, so I got out my clubs last Friday and practiced a little in my back yard. I felt pretty good, so I went to the driving range on Sat morning and still felt quite good. And the best part about it is that it led me to discover a secret… playing golf helps my back! I slept better those two nights than I have in a while. I guess the action of swinging a club loosens things up in my back so that I don’t have the same amount of pain at around 3am. Not that I’m going to go golfing now every day, but I am going to do some golf-like exercises each night before I go to bed. It helped last night, so I’m going to try to keep it up.
I was able to finish Titus, 1 and 2 Peter, Jude, and Philemon in preparation for the workshop in Togo. If we get through all of those, I can work on others while I’m there. They have also finished Ephesians, Philippians, and Hebrews. We can’t keep up with their hard work!
