The Vandalia Baptist Temple Missions Conference was a great one this past week, October 1-5. Pastor Rick Washburn and his family were a huge blessing to us and we are very thankful for them. The other missionaries in the conference were Bill and Mary Horton to Brazil, Tommy and Kannika Tucker and their son, Austin, to Thailand, Dick and Tonya Burdine to Cambodia, Shelley Grimm to Honduras, and Jenni Stukkie to Italy. Shelley and Jenni are from the church and had their commissioning service on Sunday.
Pastor Mark Dallalio was the keynote speaker. His challenges to the congregation were very great calls to action.
The church had put on a moving production called "God Has A Plan". The message was that even when trials happen, God can use them in His plan for our lives.
Friday was a day out with the gals: the missionary wives, pastors wife and secretaries. We had a great brunch at First Watch and then moved on to the Fairfield Mall for a Build-A-Bear journey. My girls, Laura and Heidi, had never been there before, so they had an exciting new adventure!
Saturday was a day at the Creation Museum. Micah and his new friend, Austin, had a great time getting to feed the animals outside and they even got to hold a snake outside the planetarium.
The most exciting moments in the conference was those individuals that went forward during invitation surrendering to missions and one salvation! Please pray that they continue to grow in the Lord!
