It's hard to believe that it's been over 4 months since my last blog posting. Time to catch everyone up on some family and ministry activity. Let me start with the events most recent and work backward:
- We conducted our first World Missions Convention here at O'Fallon Assembly. Five missionary families came to inspire, motivate, encourage and inform our congregation about the area of missionary work that they are involved in. The missions banquet on Saturday night was full and exciting. The goals we established for the convention were met and exceeded!
- We launched our Harvest Festival children's outreach in the middle of missions week. There were about 300 that gathered for this ministry event on October 31st. Missionary Jamie Kemp shared his story with the kids and introduced them to Jesus Christ. Great night of team building among O'Fallon Assembly families. Lots of activity, hard work and amazing fellowship as we worked side by side to reach the families of our community with the love of Christ!
- Tammy, Ashlyn and I took a quick trip to visit our two sons down in Springfield, Missouri. We were able to watch Trenton play in a soccer game for Central Bible College (plus they won too!) and also attended the Evangel University Homecoming Game where Devon marched with the Marching Band! We are so proud of our children!
- On September 9th we welcomed Phil & Kendra Stacey to OAG. Phil was catapulted to national recognition through the American Idol competition on Season 6. Phil possesses a great heart and also a great spirit for ministry as he led us in a powerful night of concert ministry!
- Our church entered two teams in a local Church Volleyball League. Thursday nights are volleyball league and we experienced some great times of fellowship (and competition) together!
- We coordinated our third Servolution Outreach event into our community on September 29th. Five different teams were dispatched throughout the city in spreading the love of Jesus through a variety of compassionate ministry events. This event grows every time that we hold a church-wide Servolution!
- Our Encounter Student Ministry took a large group of students (including Devon & Ashlyn & Tammy) to Louisville, Kentucky for the National Fine Arts Festival. One of our students, Danielle Huver, took the National Merit Award for her entry in the Two-Dimensional Visual Art category. Congratulations Dani!
We are getting closer to Thanksgiving and Christmas...busy times for family and friends!
If you are ever in the O'Fallon/St. Louis area please stop by to attend one of our exciting worship experiences! We would love to meet up with you!
