Matthew 28:18-20 NLT
Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
As the new week begins I want to share a little overflow with you from the weekend. It was a blessing, and there is so much more to come.
We were honored by some guests to joined us as they passed through town. Morgan and Lynn Clough has been ministry partners for almost of 20 years as we first met in the world of Raceway Ministries. Since that time our churches have almost been mirror images seeing those who are in need in our communities. Morgan in rural eastern Tennessee and us in southwest Virginia. Yesterday he shared a testimony at church, and it was awesome.
A the end of our service we were blessed by a visit from Pastor Michael Palmer. I have known Mike for more than 25 years, and his surprise visit made the day even better. He is impacting the world through helping churches regain their strength as well as serving ministries in Romania.
But now to the big part of Sunday’s service, baptism. It was a great day as 12 people were baptized at The Community Fellowship. They ranged in age from 6 years old to over 50 and every where in between. It was awesome hearing the testimonies that each person shared. It was special to have a dad baptize his daughter, a husband and sons baptize his wide and their mom, to see one young man who invited his friend and girlfriend to church who all were baptized…
I am just now working through the overflow, and it really was awesome. As Pastor Michael Palmer reminded us… this day and these baptisms are the results of many years of ministry to these special people and others. And there is more to come.
God really is good, and He is working in the lives of people all around The Community Fellowship, in Cuba, through our homes and way beyond. Who will we share our testimony with next? There is no telling who is next, who needs to hear and who will respond to Jesus.
John 3:16-17 NLT
For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.
