A visit to Virginia

This weekend we spoke at Kernstown United Methodist Church in Winchester, Virginia. A while back, I started talking to a friend that I knew from Florida. She and her husband are living in Virginia now and her husband was the youth Pastor at this church. Meet Meghan and Craig!
Meghan and Craig invited us to come speak at their church in Virginia and we were very excited. This past weekend we made the 9 hour drive. It was a beautiful drive. Sunday we had the privilege to speak at both services and youth group. We were very touched by the hospitality of the church as well as their generosity. Last week we shared with you that we were $500 short of
being 100% funded. Well, we are happy to tell you today that we are 100% funded thanks to the
support of the people of Kernstown United Methodist and we received financial clearance from Global Partners!! Praise God! We know that it has nothing to do with us!

It was really fun to be able to spend time with Meghan and Craig over the weekend. We had no idea that the area we were going to was so full of Civil War history! After church, they took us to Harper's Ferry, West Virginia. It is an old historical town. We spent an hour walking around the town and seeing all of the other buildings. It was beautiful. It was so nice to be able to be outside and we didn't even have to wear coats!! It was wonderful!

  1. Praise the Lord that you are completely funded! That is an amazing answer to prayer. I love looking at these pictures from Harper's Ferry; my brother and I are hiking the Appalachian Trail in just 2 months, and we will be hiking right through there!
