Spring Break!

We finally got to take a little break this week and visit some family in Arkansas and Missouri. It's been a great trip thus far with beautiful Ozark scenery. Enjoying my time with the family!!

First stop on the Spring Break Journey was down in Conway, Arkansas. We were able to visit with Tammy's parents, two brothers and also her sister and nephew. Weather got up to around 82 degrees today. Amazing! You could see the trees budding and the start of some new green grass too. Wonder what it's doing back home...will my grass need to be cut? Kinda doubt it...

Next we drove up I-65 into Missouri and are staying with my mom here in Nixa. This part of the round trip journey is one of the toughest to conquer...twisting roads, hairpin turns, up long winding mountains and also down them too! Thankful no one got sick on this trek...though we haven't been so successful in the past!

We will hook up with our son Jordon in Springfield tomorrow at Evangel University. He enjoyed his Spring Break a couple of weeks ago...though working at the Hut most of his week off probably wouldn't earn the most fun award during break...except for the paycheck!!!!!!

Back at CFA carpet and cove base are being installed this week; plus plumbing fixtures, bathroom partitions, electrical work and other final construction details being completed as our Flood Rebuilding Project begins to wind down. Everyone is waiting to get back into our Regional Worship Center and begin using it for our weekly small groups and other vital ministries and outreaches.

This past Sunday we were blessed with the ministry of Dr. Robert Spence, President of Evangel University in Springfield, Missouri. He preached a powerful message out of the Book of Jeremiah on the prospect of HOPE. God has a glorious future for every one who will follow His plan and live according to His Word. You can listen to his message right here...

We continue to pray that our Mighty God would miraculously meet the financial need of our total FLOOD REBUILDING PROJECT. Our prayer is that God will supply the funds to dedicate this facility totally DEBT FREE! It's a big prayer...but we've got a BIG GOD! You can help us by donating at our church website. Thanks for doing your part in this amazing miracle!

Check back for an update early next week with some new pictures. Thanks for following along on this historic faith journey with our church, Columbus First Assembly. It's been an incredible RIDE!

Love to all....

From your Spring Break Pastor!
