The day is almost here for us to depart to the D.R. It seems as if just yesterday we began the preparations for this mission adventure, but yet it has been many months. The Lord has been very good to us to bring us to this point.
The trailer is almost packed. The ministry items have been collected. Thanks to everyone who provided the ministry items for VBS and the IMB Missionaries. You truly are a part of this mission even though you are not able to go with us.
Jennifer, the kids, and I are about to depart for GA. She and the kids will be in GA for this next week visiting family and friends while I am in the D.R. I will meet the team at the airport in Atlanta on Saturday morning. I would ask you to pray for them and their safety in travel. Of course, Jennifer would appreciate your prayers as she travels with three small kids.
Keep checking the blog over the next week for additional updates.
May the Lord bless you as you serve Him in your ministry spot.

The Day of Prayer
The day of prayer has arrived for the Dominican Republic Mission Trip. We have asked the team to focus in prayer today for this next week as we prepare for the mission trip. We would request each and every believer to pray with us today.
We have taken Ephesians 6:10-17 as our passage of Scripture for today. We understand that we are in the midst of Spiritual Warfare. We are resting and trusting in the strength of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the one who will transform lives.
Thank you for your prayers.

One day closer to the D.R.
It is just around the corner. We are excited about what God has in store for us as we go on this adventure with Him. I would like to encourage you all to join the team in prayer tomorrow (Thursday, July 2) as we set aside a day to pray and seek the Lord Jesus Christ's face.
Our prayers are: He would be glorified, souls would be saved, believers would be strengthened, and He would call people to full time missions. We are grateful to Him for the opportunity to go and serve Him. We are grateful to you for supporting us as we depart for the D.R.
In Christ,
Luke

Dominican is a few days away...
In a few days, there will be 23 people going to the Dominican Republic from FBC Troy for a mission trip. The dates are July 4-11. Our projects for the week include: Vacation Bible School (twice a day) for four days, constructing the 2nd floor of a church building, prayer walks, leading in worship, and evangelism.
The group consists of 9 high school and college students and 14 adults. It is going to be a wonderful week of ministry for the Lord Jesus Christ. We request you pray for us as we will be away from our families. Our prayer is the Lord will be glorified through our efforts, and souls will be saved by the Lord Jesus Christ.
I will try to update the blog as often as possible about the trip.
In Christ,
Luke

Importance of the Law
"The divine Spirit wounds before he heals, he kills before he makes alive. We usually draw a distinction between law-work and gospel-work; but law-work is the work of the Spirit of God, is so far a true gospel-work that it is a frequent preliminary to joy and peace of the gospel. The law is the needle which draws after it the silken thread of blessing, and you cannot get the thread into the stuff without the needle: men do not receive the liberty wherewith Christ makes them free till, first of all, they have felt bondage within their own spirit driving them to cry for liberty to the great Emancipator, the Lord Jesus Christ. This sense or spirit of bondage works for our salvation by leading us to cry for mercy." Charles Spurgeon Law and Gospel
What a great description of the importance of the law. It does not save, but it clarifies to sinners that their sin is against the holy God. The law defines for the sinner the reason he/she needs salvation.
