1 Kings 6:9-10 9 So he built the temple and completed it, roofing it with beams and cedar planks. 10 And he built the side rooms all along the temple. The height of each was five cubits, and they were attached to the temple by beams of cedar. NIV
Down in Cedartown, GA. God is building a church. What an awesome service! The worship was glorious and the Holy Spirit ministered in both services.
The Pastor, Danny Rhodes, introduced me to Phil who goes regularly to Honduras. I look forward to ministering with him while he is there. They also mentioned bringing a team of young people on a short term missions trip this coming year.
I look forward to seeing what this church is going to do for the Kingdom.
Thank you Cedartown and Pastor Rhodes and Tina.
We love you all and will continue to pray for you.

How close to eternity are you!
Please keep my brother in prayer.
As he was on his way to see me for breakfast this past Tuesday, he had a motorcycle accident. He broke his arm, which required surgery, has a fractured collar bone and leg and also has a cut on his leg. Thank God he is alive. The accident was no ones fault. He slipped on the slick pavement in the national park in Gatlinburg. He was wearing a leather suit that kept him from having too many scrapes, but that did not stop the broken bones, bumps, and bruises.
Keep him in your prayers. He will be out of commission for about 3 months according to the doctors. However, we know that God can bring a speedy recovery.
We never know how close we are to eternity until a close call takes place.

Reconnecting in Ohio
What a pleasure it was to be back at Parma Park Church of God.
As Youth Pastors at Parma Park, eight years ago, we developed some great relationships and it was wonderful to reconnect.
Pastor Duncan and Sandra were great mentors to Kim and me. They were also surrogate grandparents, as they were with us in place of our on parents, when Anna was born.
Wow, how the youth have grown up and developed into active participants in the church. Also, to hear about those who have gone on to be youth pastors and music ministers, is so exciting. Kim and I knew that this youth group was a special group. Even the group now is doing well. Tim, keep up the good work.
Chris is still doing a great job with the music and what a wonderful service we had.
Thank you Bro. Duncan and Parma for allowing me to reconnect with you all and I look forward to keeping you informed of the ministry in Honduras.
We will be remembering you all in prayer.

Big Hearts Close To Home
We were able to be close to home this Sunday. Bro. Donnie Morton invited us to be a part of the services at Liberty Full Gospel Church.
I'm very impressed with the striving for excellence that is evident in this church. The Spirit of God was truly stiring the waters and we had a glorious service!
Bro. Morton started this church in his house and has now converted a store front into a beautiful worship center. It will not be long till they will be searching for another facility that will hold more people. He also desires to put a team together to come down next year to Honduras and we look forward to having them.
Thank you Liberty Full Gospel Church for your prayers and support of the Ministry in Honduras. We are so glad that we are connected to you all.
Our prayers will continue to be with you as we step out to advance the Kingdom of God.

Blessed by Illinois Churches
It was a great blessing to be in Illinois!
I want to thank again, Pastor Laughlin for inviting us to come to Beltline Christian Center. He connected us with Pastor Jeremy and Ginger Robinson, friends that we had not talked with, in almost three years. They Pastor the Bethalto Church of God and are doing a great work there. Bethalto is in the middle of a building project, however, they allowed us to come and share about the ministry to Honduras. They have a deaf person and an interpreter in their church, so they truly do understand the value of knowing sign language and the importance of Deaf ministries.
I am very thankful for the opportunities and the support that both these churches have given to the ministry in Honduras and look forward to going back and giving them an update.
Thank you Beltline and Bethalto churches for your kindness and support.
We are praying for you all and are expecting to hear great things about your ministries.

Dynamite comes in small packages
A few weeks ago, I picked up the phone and the caller ID read Beltline Christian Center. In my mind, I was thinking who is this, since it was not an area code I could recollect. However, on the line was Pastor Dennis Laughlin, the pastor of Beltline Christian Center. We had met once before through a common friend when I was at Hopewell COG. He pastored in Maryville for a time during my tenure at The Haven. It is a small world! Pastor Laughlin and I talked on the phone for about 45 minutes and the next day, he called me back to invite us in for a missions service.
God gave us a divine appointment with this wonderful pastor, his wife Jamie and their beautiful blonde haired daughter.
Folks, these people have some talented musicians. They had an awesome worship service and then there was a great freedom to preach God's Word.
After I preached, I shared for a few minutes about the missions endeavor. Pastor Laughlin then got up and gave the church a challenge that blew me away. At first I wanted to question him about it, then the Lord checked me in my Spirit and said, "did I not say I will supply your need?"
I really didn't know how to respond. I wasn't sure if I should shout, dance, run, fall over or what, but then, the song came to me "Little is much when God is in it."
Dennis, I know you have come in on hard circumstances and that the numbers are not where you want them to be but, I want you to know when God is in it you can conquer the greatest task. Gideon was small in number and even laid a few fleeces out there to question God, but God gave him the victory.
Beltline Christian Center, be obedient to the voice of God and you will be letting out your tent stakes and adding chairs to the room before long. We are looking forward to the groups and the ministries that you will be bringing to Honduras in the near future.
Thanks for your Hospitality, the AWESOME food (I thought I was in the south), the prayers and the support.

Breaking the "sound" barrier
As Kim and I were traveling back from Cleveland, OH last week, we were thinking of some names to name our blog page. Kim suggested Breaking the Sound Barrier, and I loved it. What do you all think?
We just returned from Cooley Ave. COG in Cleveland OH. and they have got it going on. Their Ministry to the inner city blew me away! No wonder God is blessing this church. I am truly honored to be connected with what God is doing in Cleveland.
We had a wonderful time with Rich and Angel Boll and their family. They and their new Missions Coordinators, Roy and Judy were absolutely wonderful to us. The service was awesome!
Thank you, Cooley Ave. Church of God for being such a blessing to us. I know that your ministries will continue to break forth with new horizons.
Rich, I am sorry your children fell under the weather after we left. I think I've been fighting off something since then as well. I pray they all get to feeling better.
