Dear Friends and Fellow-laborers in Christ,   February 2021

Our original plans for February 2021 were so different than what the Lord allowed. But in

this, we can see the Lord’s hand so graciously giving what He saw fit. We had planned to actually be

in the UK for the Winter Retreat meeting. This meeting happens every year and is held for college-

aged/young adults to encourage them in their walk with the Lord. One of the main aspects of this

meeting is Christian fellowship, as this is somewhat rare in the UK. Due to the pandemic, the WR

meeting was moved completely online. Our flight tickets were cancelled and reimbursed, and we

were at home for the first two weeks of Feb. We both got sick during this time, so it worked perfectly

for us to be home and not out traveling! We both attended the Online WR from the comfort of our

home. We were so encouraged and helped by the preaching, sessions, and zoom prayer meetings.

The theme this year was, “Stayed Upon Jehovah” with the theme verse taken from Isaiah 26v3,

which says, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he

trusteth in thee.” What a needed truth in our world today, especially amongst Christians! We

traveled to Mt. Zion Baptist in GA. We were so encouraged to go door-to-door soul winning with the

church! Jonathan was given the opportunity to preach the iCharge service for the teenagers. We

were so blessed by the fellowship of the members! The following week, we presented at Cedar Ridge

Baptist and Walridge Baptist church in TN. Jonathan preached and presented our ministry. We also

enjoyed seeing family while in the area. We then traveled to MS to be with Goodman Rd. Baptist.

This was our first time meeting this pastor and his family. We were so encouraged by them.

Jonathan preached, and we enjoyed great fellowship after the service. (Thankfully, we missed the

snow by a few days!) We had the blessing of attending the Faith For The Family Couples Retreat. It

was so refreshing to come away from traveling for a few days and focus on one of the greatest gifts

God has given us, our marriage. The theme was having revival in the home, and we were quickly

reminded that revival must first come to the individual. We left challenged to seek after the Lord

individually, thus making a better marriage and experiencing true revival in our home. We

appreciate so much the emphasis placed on the Word of God during the conference. It was so neat

to see several of our supporting Pastors and their wives at this meeting too! We finished out the

month at two churches in IN. We enjoyed the time spent with these churches. Jonathan was given

the blessing of preaching in both churches. During the evening service at Garrison Creek Baptist,

they voted after the service to take us on for monthly support! We will be traveling to meetings in IN,

KY, IL, KS, and finish up the month out in WA! We are at 85% of our needed support and plan to

schedule deputation meetings through the end of April. God has been so good to us. He is

faithful, and that encourages us! May God continue to help us as we make Him known!
