Deputation

One of the great things about deputation is getting to meet people from sister churches that you probably wouldn't have met otherwise. Yesterday was such a blessing.

Jessica, Josh, Rachel and I visited Landmark Baptist Church of Floresville, Texas, pastored by Roddy Rodgers. Landmark was just amazing to us. They are a dynamic small group of believers, ranging from senior citizens to young parents. The church was nice enough to put us in a motel room Saturday night, where the Rodgers family took us to eat at the Maverick Grill. There, Bro. Rodgers and I strategically sat ourselves where we could watch the Aggies lose to the Nittany Lions on TV (A moment of silence, please).

The following morning, I was blessed with the fellowship of the church, a love offering, and the opportunity to share the work of Mission: Brownwood. I am impressed with what a strong church family they have, in spite of their small numbers. Please be in prayer for them. Their prayer needs are as dynamic as their congregation.

After morning services, I took the family into San Antonio for the pilgrimmage all Texans should make. We visited the Alamo, the birthplace of Texas Liberty. While we did not go into the shrine (too long of a line. The disenfranchised Aggie fans were there touring the grounds), we did see the rest of the Alamo site, plus enjoyed a stroll along the River Walk. San Antonio is a great place, and I look forward to future family retreats there. The kids said they really enjoyed it.

I'll post my December report and mail it out later this week.
