Summer Trip Part #1





Hello Everyone,
Once again we where blessed to bring the gospel to the streets of America. 
This year, in the city of Charlotte NC.  

If you came by the grove in late June/early July, you would most likely find us gathering soda cans and stripping wires. Why? Scrap-metal of course! The Lord blessed us with many sources to fund our trip!
Including, dear friends who blessed us greatly.


We arrived late Saturday night, tired and hot. But oh so glad to finally reach our destination!
It was so much fun to see all our friends who we hadn't seen in a year!


Our first day...
Gathering together Sunday morning to preach the truth!


Dear old friends...they go WAY back to about...lets see, 6 years old!


Frankie and Gracia
Awesome job guys!










Later, a time of fellowship and food :)
After much consideration, We finally made our way to a Chinese buffet...



I hate to do this to you guys.
But this picture makes me laugh SO hard every time I see it!! 



The Sweet Johnston girls...Love and miss Ya'll!


Josiah: yeah...like... usually, if I just get water, I squeeze the lemon...and add sugar and make like lemonade..
Jay: "Smile and wave boys"...


Such amusement... 



After lunch we went to an abortionist's neighborhood to hand out flyers...


...Asking them to pray for him ect.





Standing in front of the clinic...


Shedding the light of the truth ...


"We love them enough to tell them the truth"





Please keep these lost men and woman in your prayers!



Praise the Lord for the next generation standing for the truth and  Gods word!








Charity! :)







We were SO happy to witness a mother choose life! God is so Good!!!



"Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. " Luke 15:10





It'so  amazing to watch  the hand of God  at work.
