Great Weekend with One of Our Missionaries

Dr. Bowen preaching morning service.
We had an absolutely fantastic weekend with Dr. Bob Bowen our missionary to Southeast Asia. We had 29 saved for the week and 8 public professions made on Sunday morning with 141 in attendance for Sunday school. Then Sunday night we had one saved and at the invitation she followed the Lord in believers baptism. It was a fantastic weekend!

Dr. Bowen preached Sunday morning and Sunday night a two part message on "What the Lord will look for when he returns?" The answer is faith! Praise God many great decisions were made.

The Gropp's on their anniversary!
In fact Sunday morning during the invitation, Dr. Bowen was able to lead a man from Iraq to Christ! Praise God for that too! Also, on Sunday morning my wife caught a picture of Rob and Mary Gropp who were celebrating their 23rd wedding anniversary. What a place to celebrate, at church, amen!

Trisha getting ready to get baptized!
Then on Sunday night Trisha (a first time visitor brought by a new convert of my wife's) got saved and baptized. Dr. Bowen preached part of the time with a hanker chief on his head to represent a crown. He kept it on for a long time until he realized I was taking his picture. Ha!

Dr. Bowen preaching about crowns with Bro. Looper standing in line who didn't have one. Ha!
