Home Missions Retreat

Last night and today we had the privilege of being part of the Home Missions Retreat for the South Texas District. Gene is the Home Missions Director for the Austin Hill Country section. We had a great time.

Friday night we all met in Johnson City at Bro. Greg Steele's church. He is the district Home Missions Director. They had an awesome meal put together then we enjoyed some entertainment from Bro. Rob McKee. Bro. Travis Miller - UPCI Home Missions Secretary - was the special guest speaker for the evening. He spoke to us on "It SHALL Come to Pass." There was an awesome move of God after his message with tongues & interpretation to the ministers there. It was really good.

Today everyone met at the church for breakfast then headed to Lake Travis. Bro. Steele and his crew had set up a "tent" with tables and chairs, volleyball, horses, washers, a boat, fishing, bikes, etc. They brought a gas grill and fixed hamburgers and hot dogs. Everyone had a great time just enjoying being together.

Cameron and Chad went out on the boat to try their skills at wake-boarding. They had a blast and both were finally able to get on top of the water. They are definitely wanting to try it again!! (They're not too happy that no one in the family has a boat anymore!! LOL)

We kept the top down on the jeep all day and enjoyed being in the open-air. Out where we were was absolutely gorgeous!!! Several times throughout the day one of us would say, "This looks like California." It's hard to believe such beautiful country is less than an hour from our home.

We are now home and preparing for Sunday. We are expecting a great move of God tomorrow. Last Sunday, as Gene already told you, we had 3 first-time visitors. Wednesday night of this week we again had 3 first-time visitors. They've all said they'll be back - maybe tomorrow!!!
