Will you join us in Belleville, Illinois?

We are working on our plans for our 5 day stop in Belleville, Illinois July 21-25. Mark will be speaking Wednesday evening and during the Sunday School hour on July 25 at Villa Hills Gospel Chapel in Belleville, Illinois. We will be parked at the chapel for this time. The saints at Villa Hills have been working with Randy Holeyfield to reach out to their community with the Gospel. Randy will be there August 12-16, helping with door to door witnessing, and giving a Gospel message twice on Sunday. Due to a previous engagement (and wedding, lol) we will not be able to attend during the main outreach. While we are there, we intend to help make further plans for the August outreach, and to get started on the door to door efforts. 

Villa Hills is a small assembly just outside of St. Louis, Missouri, across the river in Illinois. We were blessed to meet with brothers and sisters there a few months ago, and would like to invite others to come help during the August outreach, or during our stay should that be possible. They are seeking, as the Lord wills, to reach out with the Gospel to see souls saved, to encourage folks to attend Bible studies offered by local Christians, and to make the name of Christ known. All glory to God in all things, these folks desire to be salt and light in their community. We praise the Lord for folks like this all over the world.

Do you live in the St. Louis area, or would you consider traveling to help with this Gospel work? I urge you all to be praying for the saints here, and consider if you could be used in Belleville for God's glory in proclaiming the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. Email me if you want more information, and I will put you in contact with those organizing this outreach. 

Thank you all for your prayers in this regard, and for our family as we travel. Mark's back is progressing and he will be back out today for follow up in Ottawa, Kansas. We have 2 weeks left in Kansas, and are blessed to have wonderful fellowship with the faithful saints here. What a privilege to get to share the message of salvation to a lost and dying world. As always, we would love to hear from you all, and have been blessed the past few weeks especially to receive calls and emails checking in on us. We appreciate you all so much. May the Lord richly bless you with all spiritual blessings as you serve Him!
