Pastor's Blog

Attitude

As I begin a journey of blogging, I intend to stay focused and determined to stay the course of letting those around me and those interested in what Jesus is doing in the Ministry of Verdunville Church of God. So for my first blog I have decided to use the word ATTITUDE.

The New Year - 2009

“I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:14 (NIV)

New Mexico Mission Trip - Part 1

It all began with a great Service Sunday morning with a Baptismal Service and a wonderful Christmas Dinner. Truly the Spirit of the Lord was in His House.

As Darlene, Debbie and I made the journey from Verdunville to Columbus, Ohio in preparation for our early flight, many emotions went through my heart and mind. I feel that I am blessed to have the best congregation that any pastor could want. All ages were involved in the Christmas dinner we had right after Sunday School. Not just in eating after Worship, but in true Fellowship. I began to reflect on our visitors and their comments on the sermon the Holy Spirit gave me entitled " Sacrifice." Their responses and words of encouragement were very uplifting. Then to hear the congregation with their encouraging comments telling me to "Stay the course," and "Keep preaching the way you are."

The Journey To Central America - Part 3

Today is Thursday. We just finished a crusade in Santa Vicente, El Salvador, Pastor Garber preached a powerful sermon on the Blood of Jesus from a platform of a tractor trailor. Many people were saved.

The streets were crowded with several thousand people, and again, as last night, souls were born into the Kingdom of God. Tonight the first person to the altar was a little boy about 8 yrs. old. Through an interpreter he told me that he did not want to pray he wanted to eat.After we prayed with him, I gave him a piece of money.He told the interpreter, "Now I can go eat!" and took off running.

The Journey To Central America - Part 2

Today is Wednesday. We got in very late last night and it was too late to write. It has been an incredible time with the Missionary Team from Potters House Worship Center. Pastor Dan preached a power message last night on "Choices". Many souls were saved. There were over 8,000 in attendance in the soccer stadium.
