"Full Steam Ahead!"

Hey All!
It was a wonderful week with Pastor French, but the time has come to hit the trail. Praise God for the wonderful time we had conducting the Bible Club and for the great turnout. We peaked at 23 kids! Every one of them got to hear the Gospel and it is evident that God is ready to do something in Bland. We will continue to pray for the pastor and his family and that God will bless them in their efforts to spread the Gospel. Thanks again, for the wonderful reception you gave us!
Yesterday morning, after we said our goodbyes, we hit the road. It wasn't a terribly long drive, nor was traffic a problem. Praise the Lord, it was pretty smooth sailing! We arrived at Trinity Baptist Church of Jersey City, New Jersey around 5:00pm. We were met there by Pastor Richard Hagedorn and our fellow Crown Student, Daniel Miljenovik. We immediately jumped into action as the pastor laid out the schedule for the day. We'll be assisting with the Church's Vacation Bible School this week. We were assigned classes to asssist and other jobs as well.
The pastor and his family are allowing us to stay in their home, right next door to their house. Daniel is staying with us as well. Please pray that God will bless the attendance and the workers this week! Thanks in advance!

Your brothers in Christ,
-Matt and Joel

P.S.- Below are a few pictures of the trip so far. Enjoy!







The countryside in Virginia was beautiful!



We had a great time teaching the kids at the Bible club! Those songs never get old...
