News from the Leadership

Last night we had a post-prayer meeting leadership meeting at the Metras'. Here are some things that might interest you coming from that meeting.

1. Providentially, the stewardship conference is shaping into a more traditional missions conference. This is because of how God has converged on us several different speakers with several different types of works. The conference will officially begin October 8 in the AM and continue each night through the 11th. Please pray that God will stir our hearts for missions during that week.

2. The numbers for the building we are very interested in are very attractive. We got the first proposal last night. The seller/architect told me that Bill Hunt should be "your hero. He has saved you a lot of money." Bill Hunt has negotiated and discussed the drawings with the necessary people for many hours, trying to bring the costs down. Thank you, Bill, for your efforts. I hope that this works out! We will be arranging a visit to the place soon. Stay tuned.

3. Remember to pray for Chris and Margaret Metras as they minister in Gilbert, AZ this weekend.

Looking forward to the Lord's Day!

Greetings from Phoenix/Gilbert, AZ. Margaret and I had an interesting journey, as we faced tornado warnings in Chicago, which led to flights being delayed all over the country. We arrived at our hotel at about 3 AM central time (1 AM Phoenix time). Southeast Valley Baptist Church gave us an incredible welcome as we entered our gorgeous hotel room by providing a basket of delicious goodies! We are excited about meeting the people of SVBC and prestenting the ministry of Global Grace. Thank you all for your prayers as we traveled.
