I called Pastor Amell tonight, and heard some good news about Lake Andes Baptist Church. Regular attendance there has risen from 3 to 12 since January, and as Pastor Amell commented to me, the number could be as high as 18 on Sundays, if everyone would show up! Also, a retired couple who are neighbors to the Amells in Ravinia are attending regularly, playing the piano for them. Trust me, when you go without a piano player, you learn to appreciate it when you DO HAVE ONE!
Please continue to pray for the church, as ultimately they will need to find a new pastor, though for the time being, it appears that the Lord has Pastor Amell staying there for a while.
Pray also for the nephew of a friend of mine, named Sam, who is suffering from a rare immune disorder, and is in need of another marrow transplant. Details can be seen at CaringBridge.Com.
I was also able to speak to a former Bible College professor tonight, and catch up with what’s happening with him in Sioux City, IA. Pray for Bro. Campbell and for Landmark Baptist Church, as he continues to try to encourage that congregation, and to juggle a job with his responsibilities at the church.
God is good!
