Church Motto: We Love, He Changes!
Today was Memorial Day Sunday. A day we honor and salute our fallen heroes from past and present wars and battles.
Journey Baptist recognizes all our men and women who are currently serving and salute those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to keep us free, to protect our national interests, who prevailed in adversity, who prepared for battle.
A man or women in uniform is our friend at Journey. We love our military, our sailors, our airmen, our marines, all our service men and women in uniform. They are bold, beautiful, courageous and compassionate. They are the American shields to keep our country safer.
Thank you for serving our nation.
Our trumpeteers pay tribute to our fallen heroes by playing taps on their horns. It was awesome!
Some of our color guard display our flags at the start of the service.
Wait a minute, Jean and Gracie want to get in the action!
Our young people sing along in patriotic songs and display American flags.
New Members
Today we had another person join the church. This person came as a result of door-to-door knocking. It was exciting to see another come and join ranks with Journey. It's also exciting to see how God is moving in our community. Several members are now as a direct result of our door-to-door visitation.
Two weeks ago we a had another family join. This family travels the shortest distance. They live across the street from the church.
Salvations
It has been only a few days since a neighbor accepted Jesus as Savior. On Friday May 27, we were out doing what we do in spreading the gospel and informing people of Journey Baptist Church when we came across a women who came outside to talk with us. We had a wonderful conversion in general which eventually led to a transition where Jesus became the focus. God promised that His Word is the power of salvation. It didn't take long for our neighbor to feel God's moving through His Spirit when she prayed, confessed and accepted Jesus Christ as both Lord and Savior. And the angels rejoiced!! TTL!
Another adult accepts Christ. Two weeks ago, a man received Jesus as Savior during the invitation. It was heart warming to see a man get teary eyed over joy of doing the right thing. Thank you Jesus!
On the same day, a young child said the sinner's prayer and gloriously receives Jesus as Savior.
Trip
Pastor Hector and Jean recently traveled to Springfield, Mo to be recognized and get the final stamp of approval for church planting. We passed with flying colors. On the way we saw how much the floods and tornadoes affected much of our country.
Keep our nation in your prayers. Lot's of people are without homes, churches, businesses today as a result of these devasting storms and floods.
Until next month.
