Let me introduce you to Jarvis. Jarvis is a middle aged African American man who stays at the mission in Longview, TX. He has recently begun to work with the bi-vocational pastor of the Solid Rock Bible Fellowship. Pastor Jace has not only been able to help Jarvis see that his future is bright and the disadvantages that has plagued his past can be overcome, but he has also got an amazing future if he places his trust in Christ. Jace repeatedly brought Jarvis to an encounter with Jesus as he continually exhibited the joy of a life walked in Christ. Well, on Sunday morning, Jarvis stood to his feet, took a deep breath of courage and walked to the front of the room to share with Pastor Jace Roberts and the rest of the congregation about his new relationship with God through Jesus and his desire to walk in his new life openly and public ally. Wow, what a joy it has been to watch Jarvis smile uncontrollably, sing with an amazing zeal, and grow at a pace that is mind boggling! I will try to include a picture before the week is over.
I hope you will continue to lift up and follow this exciting congregation as they open doors for all people and continue to grow in their relationship and purpose in Christ. Here is a link to their ministry http://www.solidrocklongview.org/
I will be in Nome, TX next week if you wish to keep up.
In family news, Ashley and Corbin have purchased their first home. Corbin was hired by TCC to teach freshman Literature as Ashley continues to serve at Fellowship School in Kenedale teaching high school English. Kayla has received her license of cosmetology, is working to make extra change at Rallyhouse, and has signed a lease on her first boutique in a salon. Garrett is doing well in his senior year, playing varsity baseball, and has begun touring Universities for his next step. Debbie and I had the privilege to travel with Jimmy and Annelle Gault up into the new England area last month. It was a great time of work, fun, touring, and eating too much great seafood! Ask Jimmy about his favorite Lobster. Hey, Mexico and China this month. Life is short, I'm getting slower, lives are slipping off into eternity, and the world is getting smaller every day! We have to keep going, even when life and humanity try to shackle us. For all of our friends in west Texas, I will be in San Angelo at the CVBA annual meeting on Nov. 1 Come see me! Love you all, especially my friends in places I have not been lately. I am missing you! Hopefully I will see you soon.
