We have had an absolutely wonderful time at the Ridgeview Baptist Church Missions Conference. This church sure does have a HEART for missions and missionaries. They have taken such good care of us!!! The services have done a work in all of our hearts. Bro. Stinnet Ballew preached each night of the conference. Each message was sent straight from the Lord right into our hearts.
The church overwhelmed us with all their kindness!!! They gave us a huge basket of goodies, gave all the missionaries wife's 31 bags with their initials on them, and gave all the children lap desks and blankets (very nice ones). They also surprised the children on Saturday night, the Pastor called all of the missionary kids to the front of the church. Each one received a wallet or purse. The next thing we knew, there was a long line of people headed towards the kids. They were filling up the wallets and purses with money, each one as they walked by. PTL for His goodness, and for the kindness of these, God's people!!! Below is a video I took with my camera of the children getting there surprise.
