Key West arrival and Cowperthwaite family updates.

With all the commotion the last few days, I forgot to write and let everyone know that we made it safely to Key West. Our camper is parked at Camp Horizon, still for sale, now lowered to $8,000 in price, much less than what it is worth and a great deal for anyone looking for such a trailer. We are all settled in to our new apartment at Key West Gospel Chapel, and Mark will be speaking this Sunday, starting a series called "The Ideal Church" looking at the pattern of the local church from the New Testament. 

The folks here have been gracious and hospitable, welcoming us in to town and helping us get settled. We look forward to developing relationships with many local folks, spreading the Gospel in town in many venues, and helping the work of the Lord's church to be built up as we look to Christ as the Head of the church. We are excited to have this work from the Lord, with many brothers and sisters from other Florida churches behind the work here. Many will be coming to teach, preach, and help in outreach efforts. 

We will write more when I have time, thank you for your prayers and encouragement as we have prepared for this transition from itinerant work to more long term investment in a local church for God's glory. Grace and peace to you all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
