So, here I am, thinking again about how I came to be where I am today, at least spiritually.
Raised mainline Am. Baptist; born-again in a charismatic Baptist church; ordained an elder/pastor in a full-gospel pentecostal fellowship; served in a small A.G. pentecostal NA mission fellowship on the res.; then, after much spiritual warfare/turmoil/doubt/soul-searching and frustration, founded an independent fellowship/house assembly with one over arching desire: to build a Biblical fellowship, faithful to the Lord and to His Word in every way (and what an eye-opener this has been).
Now, Father, where would you have us and what would you have us to do? You, who knows me better than any; who knows my desire and love to teach and preach, plant the seeds and watch them grow; what is the next thing for us, Lord? In Jesus Name, Amen!!
Lord, help us to know how near You are! RO

Dear brother Ro - hang in there man! God is training you and us as we walk the walk.
We too are having difficulties. We too have ministry scars. And we too are struggling financially - as missionaries. It seems that these are part of the cost of following Jesus.
As long as our hearts are steadfast in the Word and our thoughts are on our King Jesus, we will make it through.
Thank you for your encouraging emails to us Ro,
Sincerely,
Chris in Scotland

Hmmmm...ever feel like things are so messed up that it would take a miracle for the church to resemble the CHURCH even a little? Sometimes it feels more like a sales meeting than a time to learn of God. And yet, God still loves us and hasn't given up on us. Amazing Grace!!!!!
Love you, Dad!
