TO GOD BE THE GLORY! What a Mighty God we serve! There are times we must visit Marah, but thank God for Elim. Never get too comfortable in either for they are both camp sites.

Unless the Lord builds the house they that labor, labor in vain. Whatever you do do it to the Glory of God.

MY TRIP TO ANTIGUA

I was invited to preach in Antigua. I left on November 25th and returned on December 2nd, it was a wonderful experience. It is a very beautiful island as you can see. It was their Annual Harvest Weeek of Revival Services. I preached for them last year as a fill-in for my dear friend and brother, Anthony Carter. Last year I went alone. However, this year was most delightful, because my wife and daughter were able to make the trip with me. It was sort of a preaching-vacation. It was much needed for me and my family. Pastor Hensworth Jonas was our very gracious and hospitable host. He actually far exceeded the definition of kindness to me and my family. Pastor Jonas is doing a great work serving as Presiding-Elder of three churches, Central Baptist, Tyrells Baptist and Covenant Baptist, in Antigua. He also serves as the principal of the Baptist Academy of Antigua, which he started 12 years ago with thirteen students and now they serve over four hundred. The school on last year had the highest test scores in math and science on the island. God is blessing their work tremendously. He is a very humble and loving brother.

On Sunday the 26th of November, I preached at Tyrells at 8:00 a.m., Central at 10:00 a.m. and again at Central at 6:00 p.m. The people were very attentive to the preaching of the gospel and they had a wonderful music minstry in which Pastor Jonas is the minister of music. I preached from I Kings 17 at the two morning services. I entitled the message "LIVING BY THE BROOK." It was a message to encourage us to trust God to supply our needs inspite of circumstances. I shared that God requires preparation before performance. Cherith was preparation Mt. Carmel was performance. We must trust and obey at Cherith to be productive at Mt. Carmel. Many of the people came to me and said they were helped and challenged by the word.

I also preached Monday thru Friday, my messages were all evangelistic. Many made professions to Christ and I am waiting to hear from Pastor Jonas on the examinations of their professions. It is a blessing to be used of God for His Glory and our good. It was a meeting I will never forget.

To God Be The Glory!
