Back From Kentucky

We had a great time in Lost Creek, Kentucky with the Salem Missionary Baptist Church and Pastor Michael Wilder and his family. We were blessed with a good trip down, though it was interesting driving down a narrow, two-lane road in the fog. Bro. Wilder gave us perfect directions, though, and we made it to the church without any missed turns or detours.

I've known Bro. Wilder for several years without ever having the opportunity to really get to know him. Well, we took care of that this week. We hit it off right away. It's such a great blessing to get to know other pastors and their families who are earnestly contending for the faith. Michael and Katie got to know two of the Wilder's children: son Kristopher, who is a year or so older than Michael, and daughter Mikayla, who is a year younger than Katie. They had a great time!

The meetings were blessed with good singing and great fellowship, and I pray that the messages were a blessing to the church there. They have a Christian school as well as a great ministry called "Seedline". This ministry is all about assembling a booklet of John and Romans, and distributing them out to a lost world. It is fantastic! The folks at Salem Baptist are wonderful people and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with them.

We came back on Thursday (4/3) and went to the Tiger baseball game on Friday to see the tigers lose to the White Sox. We haven't given up on them though; the season has just begun.

This is the view from the top of the drive from the road.

This is their "gym". On the left end is the new addition
they build to house their "Seedline" ministry.

This is the parsonage. The main living area is upstairs.
The prophet's chamber is down below - wonderful accomidations!
