As I sit in a hotel room in Simpsonville, South Carolina I'm overwhelmed at how we serve a God that loves the nations. What a privilege it is to serve the Lord in His passion for the nations. I shared with the folks at Center Grove of the many ways that God is using us to touch our local community, region, state, nation, and world. I praise the Lord for the many at Center Grove that desire to honor the Lord and reach the nations right here at home through local mission projects cleaning up yards, doing construction work, helping other churches. God has truly blessed us as we are a blessing to others and glorify Him.
We've also had the pleasure of supporting several church planters in the US. Andy and Tanya Ehlers work with High Tide Church in Delaware (Church Website). We begin supporting them when the church consisted of Andy and Tanya by themselves. They are now a completely self supporting church reaching hundreds of people for Christ. We still strongly support the work of Dennis Conner through Crosspointe Church in Buckeye Arizona (Church Website). The church is doing well and is going to be a pivotal ministry in one fo the fastest growing areas in America.
We also have several opportunities to support God's work internationally. The Flythe Family (Tripp, Heather, Drew, and Ella) are missionaries to Indonesia through Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF). You can keep up with their ministry through their blog at www.trippandheather.blogspot.com.
Finally, I want to remind you of the ministry we share with Search and See Ministries. Dr. Wil Owens is the President and founder of Search and See Ministries. I am currently in Simpsonville for the Board of Directors meeting in the morning. Through Search and See we have done a great deal of work in Tiriki, Kenya and will continue that work. We also have opportunity to be involved with works in India, Myanmar, and the Philippines. You can keep up with the efforts of Search and See Ministry at www.searchandsee.blogspot.com
What a joy and what a responsibility we have to use all of our energy, all of our passion, all of our resources for God's glory to the nations. For all that we have to give is His anyway, He deserves our complete and total worship and sacrifice.
Look forward to what God has in store!
Please pray for the board meeting tomorrow and also pray for my preaching engagements Sunday at Center Grove of course, and Sunday night through Wednesday night during the revival meetings at Creech Memorial Baptist Church in Ahoskie.
God bless!

Are you and Carol Ann OK? You know you've been in that hotel room since October 10. You've got to get more in the groove with your blog Pastor Tommy. I know God has shared His blessings and mercy with you a whole lot since Oct. 10. The world is waiting....
