Water Valley Church of Christ

Wednesday evening, August 16, 2017, Martha and I made our first visit to the Water Valley, Mississippi Church of Christ. We arrived an hour and a half early, and so we decided to drive a little further north to Oxford, Mississippi. The trouble with that was we were almost late for our appointment in Water Valley by the time we grabbed a bite to eat in Oxford. Rush hour and road construction slowed us down, too. Everything worked out with precision. We arrived back at the meetinghouse moments before the first members arrived.

It would be difficult to be better welcomed than we were. Though a small group, nevertheless they made up for it with unbridled enthusiasm. In a casual setting of the fellowship hall and sitting around tables, I acquainted them with our way of life in service to our Lord, stateside and abroad. It is always a pleasure to make new friends out of brethren we had not previously met. I look forward to a long relationship whereupon we build upon the rapport we began to establish.

Brethren encourage us, and we tend to encourage brethren as well by letting them know some of what others and we do to proclaim the Gospel especially in foreign lands. May we all travel, hand-in-hand, along the pilgrim pathway toward the pearly gates and streets of gold, persuading as many as possible to make the journey with us.

We are getting a little anxious as we make final preparations for overseas trips to South America and to Asia. Before that, I have speaking appointments over the next two Sundays at a total of four congregations in Alabama and Florida. We covet your prayers.
