Let me first say that I am so excited to hear all the great reports from Life Tabernacle, our home church, and all the churches that we are associated with! It just seems that there is a special move of God sweeping across the land. The miraculous conversion in Wichita Falls and many souls being touched. Keith and Carla's report from today was incredible!! I talked with Kenny Prince on Friday night and God has just really opened up the doors for them to get started in a great way. (I'll let them blog about it....hint!) Jonathan and Brenda having 2 get the Holy Ghost a couple weeks ago. Doug and Lori's new daughterwork starting off with a bang. Some friends of ours here in Austin, Melvin and Lisa Reddy, started services last week in Cedar Park with 18 first-time guests. Don and Charity Ryan in Minerva, Ohio have had some great reports recently. I get so much excitement from hearing these reports. God is so good.

Today was another great time in the presence of the Lord. We had 28 in service, with 3 first-time guests. One was a neighbor of the McClain family. Jake Robertson and I knocked on the McClain's door on our very first outreach Saturday. Their whole family of five are now attending and brought a guest today. She said that she was very touched by God speaking to her directly. The other two guests were friends of the Sharp's, the older couple who started coming in December. They are also an older couple and they said they would be back Wednesday. Many of the saints were refilled with His Spirit today. The worship was so loud! It was great. We enjoyed eating lunch with Kim Dutton's sister and family (John, Mikki, Gavin and Katie Adams) today after service. God is so good.

Our land deal is progressing. It looks like that we will have 3.9 acres free and clear before long on Pfennig Lane (LOL- you gotta love it!) Pray that everything works as planned. God is so good.

We have a new storefront in the works. We should know for sure this week. It is double the size we have now. Hopefully that will carry us for the year until we can have our new building. I'll share more when we have something definite. We are very excited! God is so good.

I can't wait to see what God is going to do next. We are truly on The Great Adventure.

FYI, we are taking on more jobs:

• Karla is now the Choir Director for the Bernard's church. It was official today. The current Music Director stepped down and Sis. Bernard took over the department. It is an interim position for this year. They are looking to add a full-time music director in the future. They had a music meeting today and signed up a bunch of new members to grow the choir. They only sing on Sunday night, so that will fit our schedule. She will have practice two Thursdays a month and two Sunday afternoons. She will do good. I realize I am a little biased! It will keep her current with songs and give her a place to use her choir skills. We don't quite have a choir YET!!

• I was voted in as the Austin Hill Country Section Home Missions Director at my first Sectional Conference here. I was told that there would not be a lot to do unless there was a Church-In-A-Day in our section. Then later I found out that the next three CIAD projects are planned for our section!!!! It will be interesting. Greg Steele of Johnson City is the South Texas Home Missions Director.
