Foursquare Missions Press


Recently I was blessed to be able to have a tour of the Foursquare Missions Press facility. The experience of the tour will never, ever be forgotten! My buddies Ophelia and Celia and I just sat in the truck after the tour, in utter amazement. Foursquare Missions Press provides necessary tools for missionaries in the field. Bob Hunt has now taken over running the operation, which was started by his wife's grandparents in a relative's home. There will be a new printing press coming and it will be dedicated in May during the Foursquare Convention. I can't wait to be there amongst the leaders of the missions groups in like 34 different countries. I was able to have the opportunity to join Norma Faulkner, whose dad started the program, to prepare letters to be sent to Foursquare churches across the country. At first I was praying for each of the pastors and their congregations as I touched each envelope. Then after hearing Norma's heart and the need for these pastors to join the cause of the Missions Press, my prayers became more fervent, "Lord, help these pastors to realize the necessity of this ministry. Place it on their hearts to give!"

Yolanda's Baptism!





The Bible Study Buddies/C.A.R.E. partners-Ophelia, Yolanda, and Shannon! What an incredibly glorious service. Yolanda was among 39 people to be baptized this night. The service was so personal as Pastor Terry lovingly baptized each person. Yolanda's smile says it all!!! She is so grateful for the opportunity to take this next step in her Christian walk as she declares, "As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord!"
