God Blesses Faithfulness

I was a bit concerned about the crowd we would have in church yesterday because of a number of things. We had some bad weather Saturday afternoon and evening. We have a large family on vacation, and a lot of sickness in the church. I counted all that would not be there and was anticipating 20 missing. When your average attendance is only 30 that is a concern. But I know that we have had about 6 or 8 out this past week door-knocking. When people started coming in I was encouraged that we had over 20 even with all of the folks that were missing for various whatever reasons. I preach it all the time that God blesses our faithfulness then He confirms that truth and gives us a big blessing

What an encouragement! I pray for God's continued assistance there. I am thankful He wants to bless more than we want Him to. He, brother- Thank you for your example.

Things are going great with us! We are expecting a baby!

We have found a church..it only has like 25 members all together, but usually we only have 15 people on sundays...the preacher is nice and good...but I compare everybody to you..which leaves me dissapointed :)

When read, it is such an encouragement that GOD will bless us even for the little we do for Him. It does not all have to be big things, a foot soldier can turn the tide of the battle.

Praise GOD!

I know how you feel brother. We have had a lot of sickness as well, but the Lord continues to do great things at the church.
