Here I thought I’d be in Butler, PA, with very little to do for two weeks except for speaking at the chapel for First Baptist Christian School on Fri afternoon. But today, my schedule just increased with four new events. Tomorrow evening I’ll be presenting my ministry at Perry Baptist Church in Hadley. On Thurs I’ll be speaking in the Spanish class at FBCS. On Tues of next week, I’ll be attending an event at Slippery Rock Baptist Camp so that I can meet a pastor or two. On Wed of next week I’ll be presenting my ministry at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Edinboro. Three of these four new events are thanks to Pastor Maitland here at F’irst Baptist. He sure knows how to get people connected!
Now I need the Lord to help me know what to do this Sunday and two Weds in October (21 and 28). We’ll see how the Lord works all that out!
The greatest part about how things developed today is the fact that I was pretty discouraged at the lack of success I was having with calling pastors. In most cases, I just got an answering machine or someone to take a message. In one case, the secretary said the pastor looked at my brochure and had no interest in scheduling a meeting. Quite discouraging! But the Lord so graciously lifted my spirits by helping me to get two new meetings and two other events, all only hours after getting no where on the phone!
