Dear Praying Supporters,

In our last prayer letter we were getting ready to travel to our next project in Northwest Arkansas. Coming back to Washington County Baptist Church was an exciting time for us. We enjoyed working for three weeks with Pastor David Isaacs, his congregation and a number of sister churches in the distribution of thousands of Gospel door hanger packets with information about the church. I have to admit, it was a nostalgic time as we revisited many areas where I knocked doors 20 years ago when I planted this church. Pictured is one of the groups that came to help with the distribution, Talking Rock Road Baptist, from Branson, Missouri.

Making our way from Northwest Arkansas, we headed south to Pensacola Christian College (PCC) in Pensacola, Florida, where I had the opportunity once again to teach church planting in the PCC, 2016 Church Planting Seminar. It was a joy to teach this class made up of men who were seminary students as well as undergraduates interested in church planting and the restarting of churches. The spirit among the students was great and the participation and interaction with them encouraged me. It is always a joy to see young men training for the ministry.

From Pensacola, it was on to Milan, Georgia, in early April to work with Freedom Baptist Church to organize and conduct a large direct mail campaign to cover two counties in Georgia. We designed printed materials and helped the church sort thousands of direct mail pieces and get them ready for the Post Office. Pastor Tommy Land called us after the mailing to let us know that 40 visitors came to their services as a result of their outreach. Pray for two children that came to Christ while Jennifer taught in Sunday School at Milan.

Please pray for our next church restart project taking place in May at Calvary Baptist Church in Hiawassee, Georgia. We have designed all the printed materials and have shipped them to the church. The members at Calvary have worked together sorting and bagging the literature and getting ready for this large Gospel distribution and mail out. They are praying for God to use this distribution to see souls saved and brought into the fellowship of their church.

Thank you for your faithful prayers and support.

Bob and Jennifer Larson
