Liz and I are grateful for the opportunity we had to present our work at Lakeview Baptist Church in Pickens, SC. Pastor Mike Belcher and the people of the church received us graciously and listened to us attentively. We enjoyed getting a taste of what their ministry is like and learning more about their passion to see our Lord exalted in their community. I had met brother Mike previously through a mutual friend. He is a serious pastor, committed to reaching his community and discipling his flock.
Pastor Belcher allowed me to give our team mission to the church and then preach. I preached from the end of Matthew 11 concerning the essence of the gospel and the importance of correctly defining it in light of our mission to France. Following the service, we spent time talking with fellow Christians and were warmed by their concern for us and their desire to encourage us concerning our mission. As always, Viviane was the most popular member of our family, but the people of Lakeview showed Liz and me great kindness as well. We thank the Lord for the opportunity to present our ministry to this group of brothers and sisters.
