Amber McDaniel update

Thank you for your prayers and continued support for Amber and the Turnham family.  Rick and Deanna are getting ready to leave tomorrow morning heading to their new home in Texas along with Amber's twin boys.  Please pray for them.
 
The court appearance was difficult.  At best Amber may be able to leave jail as early as October of this year or it could be as late as April of 2009.  Remember to pray for Amber that she will understand and that God would lift her heart and attitude.  Since her folks will be in Texas, we need to step up our support for Amber.  Please continue to write her and encourage her at this address:
 
Roanoke City Jail, Atten. Amber McDaniel, 324 Campbell Ave., Roanoke, VA  24016
 
Sunday morning Deanna shared with us, her church family, what she feels about us and thanked everyone for their prayers and support.  They have been precious friends and with many of us for 4 years.  Rick and Deanna as well as those precious two little boys have stolen our hearts.  I ask that you pray for their move, for them to find a great new church family and for them to be put back together with their daughter, Amber, as soon as possible.  You can write the Turnhams at this address:
 
Rick and Deanna Turnham, 1093 Burt Dr, Nacogdoches TX 75965
 
They will be missed terribly by this church family as Rick and Deanna are very loved here, and so is Amber.  It is tough when we have to leave our family, even church family.  Once again, God has really blessed our lives, and God intends for us to bless and encourage people all along the way.  Keep on doing just that as you pray for Amber, Rick and Deanna and the boys, TyShawn &  Demarion.
 
God is good....all the time!


Pastor Michael (James 1:5)

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
