TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30

Wow!  The Lord blessed and we had a great time at the annual GRACE Ministries pig roast last night.  The food was great (thanks to all who helped cook) and the fellowship was even greater.  We set up 160 chairs (thanks to those who set up and took the chairs/tables down) and we had a few folks sitting in the booths to the side.  So, we easily had 150 plus folks in attendance.  They came from Grand Rapids to Kalamazoo and all points in between – it was great! 

It was a special blessing to renew friendships with a number of folks but also to meet new folks.  I met some folks who have faithfully supported GRACE in a number of ways even though they have never gone on a trip with us.  Lisa and I had a great evening and I thank each person who took the time to join us!  We even got to meet Juanita Josephina! 

Special thanks to the fine folks at Vriesland Reformed Church for allowing us to use their building and to the custodian for her help in cleaning up.  VRC has been very kind to GRACE Ministries and we are grateful!  Pray for them as they continue to seek the Lord’s will regarding their next Pastor.

I cannot adequately describe what wonderful hosts Tom & Shari Compagner and Ross & Kathy Genzink have been these past few days.  (I guess my biggest disappointment has been that the Queen has served us no funeral buns!)  We have been treated so very well and I am extremely grateful to have these folks as friends! 

Lord willing, we will arrive home early this evening.  Pray for Betty, Caroline, Lisa and me as we travel to Flint, fly to Gulfport, and then drive home. 

Friendship family – don’t forget the Hallelujah Festival tomorrow afternoon/evening and the GRACE meal this Sunday.  I met a guy on our flight from GPT to ATL last Thursday night and he is supposed to be in our 10:30AM service this Sunday.  Joe, looking forward to seeing you there!
