February 2008 Report
Facility Update
We have located a facility suitable for holding Sunday School and Morning Worship services. The facility includes an auditorium that will seat 350, plus three classrooms that will seat up to 75 each. The cost for renting this facility for Sunday mornings will be close to $1,000/month. We are planning to rent this facility for Vacation Bible School in August, with our launch service to take place the following Sunday. This is a great facility with a good location in the heart of Brownwood.
Relocation Update
Jessica and I took a trip to Brownwood last Friday (Feb. 29). We both found strong employment prospects. We still have not found affordable housing, but God will provide in His time. (We also plan to keep looking.)
Deputation Update
We were blessed to be a part of the Faith-Promise Missions Conference at Nevill's Chapel MBC of Mt. Pleasant, TX. We also presented the work at the Old Cherokee Mission Rally at East Side MBC of Jacksonville, TX, and the Tri-County Mission Rally at Vanderbilt Baptist Church of Tyler, TX. We were also blessed by being able to share the work with Mt. Herman MBC and Whiterock MBC of Center, TX, and Bassett Road Baptist Church of Palestine, TX.
Upcoming Plans
Deputation will continue through the end of May. Jessica and I plan to relocate to Brownwood in June to begin the work. We will begin with home Bible studies in June, with launch services planned for August.
We will hold a VBS in August to help introduce ourselves to Brownwood and to launch the new work. This VBS will require volunteers and one-time love offerings. As soon as we have finalized the dates with the owners of the meeting facility, we will begin asking for your support for our VBS.
