Missionary Bryant Crane

I had a great time of fellowship with Bryant Crane from South Africa today. Bryant and Sharan are some of our dearest friends and they are enjoying the blessings of God from over 20 years of ministry on the field. Would you pray for them as they report to their supporting churches over the next few months and then prepare to go back to South Africa with all three of their boys now here in the United States.

I had a great time over at the Stephen's house today with our church office staff for a Christmas breakfast and then I was honored to lead in prayer at the Christmas lunch for all of the employees of the city of Aiken. Looking forward to the Christmas dinner tonight with Aiken Public Safety.

Gotta love this guy Tim Tebow. I'm not even a Broncos fan but I love Tebow's stand for the Lord! By the way, he is 6-1 as a starter now.

Squire Parsons

Another great day this past Sunday at Lakeside. I believe we had our highest attendance so far in Sunday School and our preaching attendance continues to be very strong. We really enjoyed Bro. Squire Parsons singing "Beulah Land" and "Master of the Sea" on Sunday night as it fit so well with our pictures and testimonies of our Israel trip. Praise the Lord!
