11-24-08: 14 More Days and then . . . Snow!

Well, we are down to 14 days until we leave. Check out this picture out at Life Action's Camp last week. They had 9" of snow that night.




We appreciate your prayers - we are at about 73% of our support if I am guessing correctly!

Have a blessed Thanksgiving - for we all have much to give Him thanks for in our lives.

11-20-08, Only 18 more days!

It's hard to believe, but it is only 18 more days until we are in Michigan. The movers will pick up our things on eithe DEC 4 or 5 and we will pull out the morning of DEC 8.

We are still working on our support and if my estimates are correct, we may be at 70%. If the Lord leads you to, please pray for that additional 30% and that it come soon!

We will be having Thanksgiving with my parents as well as my brother & sister and their families down in Denham Springs, LA next week.

Pleaase take time to reflect in the goodness of God and to give him thanks in ALL things.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thess. 5:16-18

November 15, 2008 Update

We hope you are having a great weekend!

Just wanted to give you an update. IF our estimates are correct, we are at about 60% of our financial support goal. Thank you for those that are praying for us and for those that are supporting us financially.

We only have three more weeks until we leave for Niles, Michigan and begin our ministry with Life Action. We plan on pulling out either on December 8th of 9th. There is a Senior Leadership Team meeting beginning on December 15 that BG needs to attend.

We have found a house to lease for a year that is ready to move into once we arrive. It belongs to a staff member of Life Action that has just moved to another part of town.



We do so much appreciate your prayers. Please do continue to pray for our financial support to come in over the next two weeks. God is faithful!

Reassigned to Life Action

We are being "reassigned" by the Lord back to Life Action. The Lord has blessed us here at First Baptist Church of Brandon. We have learned much during this year that we believe will make us much more effective in our role at Life Action.

BG will be returning as a member of the Senior Leadership Team responsible for facilitating and developing the various leadership teams, the strategic planning process, succession planning, leadership development and the development of strategic partnerships across the nation.

We plan on leaving Mississippi for Niles, Michigan the week of DEC 8. The Lord has provided us a house to rent once we arrive in town.

We are in the process of raising our financial support to return and as of 11-12-08 are at about 60% of our goal. We would greatly appreciate your prayer support in this and your financial support if the Lord so leads you.

In Christ,
BG & Angela
