Mark Smith
This Sunday morning service was very exciting for us. We have heard so many wonderful things about what the Lord is doing through this church! It is also home to two Crown students: Nelson Meaders, who is traveling in the Northeast Quartet, and Ashley Weberg, who just finished her first year of school. The Webergs were so wonderful, allowing us to enjoy their home and their wonderful home cooking!
We had the opportunity to sing in the teens Sunday School class and share with them information about Crown College and how the Lord led each of us there. . Bro. Derrick preached a sermon to the teens about "What is your life?" from James 4:14. For the main service, we were able to sing a few songs right before the sermon.
After we sang some songs in the morning service, the youth pastor, Dan Kirchner, preached on "Jesus Christ" and the importance of the name of Christ. Pastor and Mrs. Smith were not with us because the people of the church all pitched in to send them on vacation for a week to celebrate 15 years of his ministry at the church. It was great to be in a church that is always seeking the Lord and His will. There is a great spirit within the heart of this church and they are always striving to move forward for Christ. Pastor Kirchner showed us the property and explained the vision that Pastor Smith has for the future of the church. We also enjoyed a wonderful meal in town with him and some of Pastor Smith's family. The Lord is greatly using the people here at Faith Baptist to do wonderful things for Him. What an encouragement it is to see the Lord working through this vast growing church! We pray that the Lord will continue to bless Bro. Smith and this great ministry!
