In Touch: Preaching in Big Spring and Plainview

image_pdfimage_print

I’ve been blessed to preach at First Baptist Church of Big Spring  and First Baptist Church of Plainview  in recent weeks. I love having the opportunity to worship in different churches each week. It is an encouragement to see how the Lord is working across the state.

Please be in prayer for this group as they continue to meet and discern the Lord’s will for us. It is an exciting time.

I had the privilege of going to a Baptist Student Ministry leaders’ banquet. Speaking with and getting to know BSM leaders from around the state was a joy. College and university campuses are being impacted with the gospel by these young leaders. I hope you will join me in praying for their faithful and diligent efforts.
