My mother and I were driving home Saturday 6/26 and were held up in traffic, when we saw your young missionary team, we were so blessed to see them acknowledging the Lord and not be ashamed to do so, it just filled our spirit with so much joy! We go to Bethel Baptist in Greenfield, IN and we will testify to this this up coming week!

We would like to say thank you for all of your prayers during Shannon's Grandfather's battle with cancer. Thank you very much for everyone who made food for the dinner after the funeral. It is a great feeling to know we have a church family who loves us.

The Massey Family

We would like to take the oppurtunity to thank all those who carred for Scott, Amanda and I after my surgery and time of recovery. aLL THE WONDERFUL CARDS, CALLS, AND MEALS. Especially to our pastors contacting us, praying with us, and encouraging our family. Even the rides to the doctors offices.

We truly are thankful for such a loving church body.

God bless, Amber

Thanks for all the prayers and support during my final year of school. I don't know how I would have been able to make it through these past few years of school without the help of God; not to mention all the wonderful cookies that helped fuel me during my studies.

I sure do love cookies!

God bless,
Tommy Russell

Thank you very much for the many gifts from the Church. The cookies and the winter bundle of gloves, hot cocoa mix, and chapstick. The cookies were a great hit with my fellow coworkers and we all enjoyed them.

Also thank you for the scholarship money. The Christmas gift came just in time, as I needed new tires for my car and didn't know how I was going to pay for them. Thank you for the prayers and support as well, they are greatly appreciated as I go through the struggles of college and being more independent.

Thank you so much for always remembering me with the college care packages. They are uplifting and the cookies sent this time were delicious! Always excited to open the package from you.

Thank you again,
Amber Sullivan

Dear Trinity Baptist Friends,

I am so proud of you!! My dear dear friend, Evangelist Jessie Scott, 101 years old went to be with the Lord last Tuesday. She had been a shut-in for about a year and could not attend church. Pastor Rick was so gracious to allow us to have her funeral at Trinity. It was a beautiful service and several local ministers were present and spoke about how Jessie had been involved in their lives. It was a glorious time and Jessie truely had the funeral that she deserved. She was honored, the Lord was glorified and the Holy Spirit was present. Many thanks to my friends from the Thursday morning Bible study for your generosity in giving money and providing food for the meal. I love you all so much!! Thanks to Sam and Pastor Roper for handling the details, especially the sound system during the funeral. Thank you Amber, Margaret and Heidi for giving your time and service to see that the meal was so nice. Thanks to all who participated. I am so happy to be a part of such a great church family.

Many blessings to you all in the name of Jesus,

Margaret Winegarner.

Trinity Baptist Church,

Thank you so much for the care packages and the financial support you have provided in recent months. They were both very encouraging and useful as I began my final semester at DePauw University. I also wanted to thank you for the continued spiritual support and prayers you all have provided in the last three and a half years; college can be trying at times, but it is nice to know that there is still a group of individuals back home who are willing to help in any manner possible.

Thanks again for all you have done and continue to do, it is greatly appreciated!

God bless,
Eric Freshour

Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for your generous donation of $150.oo for our food pantry. Due to the economy, in recent months, our services to families has increased. For the month of January in 2009, we served 78 families and in the same month in 2010, we served 117 families. For Christmas in 2008, we served 524 families and this past Chrstmas we served 694 families. We have also seen a large increase in the number of people attending our soup kitchen each month.

Because of your continual generosity, we were ale to meet this increase in needed services here in Marion county and the surrounding areas.

Thank you again for your support. We greatly appreciate your donation.

May God bless you.

Sincerely,
James S. Sayer
Commanding Officer/Pastor

Dear Church Family,

For us to say "thank you" is far too insufficient. We feel so blessed by the love, support, cards, phone calls, etc. that we have received in the past few months. We love you all and ask for your continue prayers.

Your friends,
Ron and DeAnna Pitts

Dear Friends and Family of Lee and Dianne,

Thanks for all your prayers! The children did well while Lee was in Kenya and the unrest in Jos did not extend directly to the Rafiki Village. The continuing education with great Christian fellowship in Kenya was well worth the time and effort. The medicines from Kenya were within the weight allowance and there were no problems at customs even though the baggage scanning lady in Kenya questioned "Why so many medicines?" We hear the new ROS couple has plans to arrive in Jos this month. Home office staff had a safe and successful trip to West Africa and back.

The major event for us was Dianne experienced loss of vision in her right eye from retinal separation and within three days we were in an Orlando emergency room and referred to an eye clinic where she had a gas bubble injected in here eye followed in a couple of dyas by laser repair. Praise the Lord she is regaining some vision slowly. Lee had medical evaluation in Kenya and the recommended medication was not available there, but has been started in the USA for stage one Parkinson.

Dianne is not allowed to fly for at least two months due to the bubble in her eye, but Lee would like to return to JOS to participate in the CMC scheduled for April 12-22.

Serving joyfully with you,
Lee and Dianne Johnson

To all who sent cookies -- thank you very much for our dozens. Not only did it bring some cheer during this gloomy winter time but reminded us how much we are loved. Our wingmates and track teammates also benefitted and echo our compliments! Thanks for your prayers and support as we grow and learn in Christ.

Love,
Meredith Piacentini and Cassie Vaflor

The Martha Circle would like to thank ALL (from those who donated food to the servers to those who cooked) who were part of the Soup Kitchen. We have a steady clientelle who return month after month (and bring friends). They have expressed their gratitude - some are even attending Bible study. To be part of sharing God's love with them has been enough reward for us.

We will be continuing the Soup Kitchen until May and take a break and begin again in September. Volunteers are gratefully appreciated. If you want to be part of this outreach program call Pat Holman or Ednita Vaflor.
