I took a quick trip this past weekend to Cheraw, SC, leaving on Sat afternoon and returning late Sun evening. I greatly enjoyed my time with Pastor David Bradshaw, his family, and his church (Calvary Baptist Church). My preaching in the AM service went fairly well, but my presentation in the PM service went extremely well. The people asked many questions, and the Lord enabled me to share a short challenge. The people continued to show their interest after the service by their questions and also by their extremely generous love offering. I praise the Lord for how He answered prayers and pray that this church will become one of my supporting churches.
As I was driving home I decided to stop at a gas station for a drink. I gave a tract to the girl at the cash register and said my usual words–”Could I give you something to read? It tells how you can know your sins are forgiven, if you don’t already know?” I can still see the girl’s sober look as she took the tract. Even before I finished the transaction, she began reading the tract. As I drove away, I could see her intently reading it. Please pray for her soul. And if you’re ever in McBee, SC, please stop by the Sea Way gas station and follow up with the black girl behind the cash register.
My trip to Myanmar and India continues to form up. It looks like I’ll leave on Jan. 23, spend a few days in Myanmar, and then fly to India (Silchar) for about a week. I’ll fly back around Feb. 14. The schedule is still being finalized. I sent my India visa application in yesterday, so hopefully it will arrive on time. Please pray for preparations for this trip.
