Lafayette, TN


  Last Sunday, I traveled to my church in Lafayette, Tennessee and filled in for my pastor who was out of town. During the morning service, the Lord gave me much liberty to preach on Colossians chapter 3 and what God expects from the lives of Christians. "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God" (v. 1).

  During the evening service, I told the story of the Jewish doctor who came to Christ. It was a blessing to be here and share this story with my church and see how much it affected them. I saw several teary eyes in the congregation. I pray that God continues to use this story for the glory of His Son Jesus Christ.

Events


  This summer, I traveled to the Searcy and Springdale Homeschool Conferences sponsored by the Education Alliance. This was an excellent opportunity to get to know other homeschoolers in the State, and to talk with them about history and Biblical principles. In both places, I was able to catch up with old friends who opened their homes to me, and the fellowship was sweet. Thank you Melissa Savary for having me come and speak.

  Another exciting aspect of these trips was in Springdale, when I was able to debut as Max Rossvally, a Union surgeon in the Civil War. Rossvally was a devout Jew who hated Jesus with a passion. One day, he met Charley Coulson, a wounded drummer boy who was brought into his field hospital. Charlie's testimony of faith would change Rossvally's life forever. Because of the witness of one young drummer boy, Rossvally became a devoted Christian and a world-wide evangelist!

  I was unable to get many photos at the homeschool conferences (I didn't bring my photographer), but here are some of my trip to the Bartlett Senior Citizen's Center on July 30th, where I met many clever history and genealogy enthusiasts.

  Currently, I am in my second week of school, and am putting my nose back to the grindstone. If all goes well, I will finish this semester. I'm looking forward to dedicating more time presenting the Gospel through living history.
