and would fight no more. Yes, this is a proud Mama. But would appreciate prayers for them as they start in a different direction. He has already started the process, and his application came across the desk of our daughter's BEST FRIEND! She about fell over! Then had to keep it quiet until he told the family! Which was not until TODAY when he told the church!! He smiled & smiled & his wife cried! Their names are Michael & Rhonda. Tks!

Congratulations!!!!!!God has called them, they are so lucky.It is so great when He calls someone and that person aknowledge the call.Blessings.

Wish them the best in their endeavors and dedication.

God works by appointment, not by accident. What a wonderful praise of their parents.....and of their hearts. Bless you all and my prayers will be added.

Gerry God has great things in store for His people. He never sends you into anything without first COVERING YOU. I too always desired to do mission work but God told me to tear down strong holds and to heal those who are wounded. I enjoy what God has called me to do but the call does not come without a cost. Through it ALL...I NEVER LOST MY PRAISE!!!

My prayers are with and for Michael & Rhonda. God's warrior angels has already gone before them to clear and destroy anything in there path.

Be BLESSED & HIGHLY FAVORED of the LORD ;D

His Humble Servant,
Monica

Oh how wonderful for u all gerry!! I firmly believe n mission work & do not think a church will grow unless it supports missions. I was raised n a southern Baptist church n Macon, Ga. & from an early age learned to love missionaries. We always had some home on leave n summer that would help n Bible School. I have had many friends. Our church is very small n nr. here & it is a Congregational Meth. so very like the Bapt. we have a young couple in the Far East at this time & I have known the girl since her early childhood. Of course yours go on my prayer list & will request prayer for them at church starting tonight. All of the families will need it for I know it's hard on all of u to see them eventually go. Keep us posted gerry on where & when. God blessings on u all. Lillian

Thank you, Lillian. I agree with you about growth! And thks for passing on the prayer request to your church! We do attend a Southern Bapt Church here in Knoxville. He's been on 2 mission trips overseas; was in Gospel Choir at Carson Newman & spent all his breaks on mission trips. We were not really surprised. There's a lot to go thru before you are appointed, even to a 2 yr. assignment.

God bless them both and ya'll too!!! I went on a Mission trip to Nigeria last October and when the Lord wants you to do somthing you better listen to Him....Ya'll will be in my prayers.

They have my prayers. What an awesome commitment they are willing to make. No wonder you are proud of them.
