Golden Harvest Baptist Church

Sorry, everyone, that it has taken so long to blog. I didn't realize how long it had been until my sweet mom emailed today to make sure that everything was ok. She saw that we had not blogged in a while, and just was checking in on us. I love you, Mom! Thanks for keeping me in line!!
On Tuesday night, our family had the privilege of joining Golden Harvest Baptist Church for their missions conference. I was really impressed with this group of people and the heart that they have for missions. It was such a blessing to be with them. We were not there as part of their conference, Alan had just talked with their pastor, Pastor Ed Smith, and asked him if we would be able just to come and watch their service. It was 2 1/2 hours long, but it surely did not feel that long!! We had a great time. They do something neat for their missionaries every year. They have Christmas night. The church members draw names and buy Christmas gifts for the missionaries, and then present them with the gifts after the service. It was really sweet to see. They even sing Christmas songs.
What impressed me the most was their missions bulletin board. They have each missionary's picture along with their country and missions board. There were several missionaries. Then, in the middle, of the board, is a large map of all the countries, and flags where each missionary is. Everything was large and easy to see. As I was shaking hands with people afterwards, there were a couple of men who I was able to visit with. These men had their backs to the board, but they told about most of the missionaries that they support, how long they have supported them, and other facts about the different missionaries. What a blessing it was to be there and see first hand Christ's love in action. We are scheduled to be in their missions conference next October, and I really can hardly wait, because their spirit was so sweet. I felt like I had been there before. If you are ever in their neighbourhood, I am sure they would love to have you stop by. It is Golden Harvest Baptist Church, Stephensville, Ontario, just a few miles from Fort Erie, Ontario
