I am glad that you set up a blog and am thankful for the pictures from your chartering service. This is a good-looking group. As I have been, I will continue to pray for the church’s development.

Thanks for the report and pictures, Dan. The Lord is good and greatly to be praised. I too am sorry Mari and I could not be there for your special day. We look forward to seeing the Lord continue to build the work and magnify His name.

This is SO exciting! I wish we could have been there! It was so good to see so many familiar faces, so many new faces, yet sad to see some missing faces. BTW, who is the family at the left of the group photo? They look very familiar.
Miss you all!

As you plow your field it is important to look and see where you have been and where you are going. God is providing the harvest. Thank you for being a faithful field laborer. I know you have seen families come and go and had some heartaches along the way, but God is using you there and this chartering service is just an indicator of that fact.

Thank you so very much for the invitation to attend the chartering service. It was a thrill to Mrs. Potter and me to see what the Lord has done through you after the Lord burdened us to start the work. We are thankful to the Lord for His evident hand of blessing upon you, your dear family and the work there.
Words cannot express what was and is in our hearts over what we saw on Sunday.
It was also a great blessing to see Pastor’s of other church plants and some of their people there to support and encourage you and the people. Other churches and Pastors were there as well to encourage, support, and rejoice with you over what the Lord is doing.
This is a taste of what the Lord wants to do all over the state of Ohio and in this nation if we will be faithful and work together to accomplish the task.
Thank you and thank your people for all the hard work in setting up and tearing down the seating, PA systems, etc. as well as providing the refreshments. They were very hospitable.
Pastor and Mrs. Bob Potter

Praise the Lord for this working of God in birthing another church for His glory! Though 10,000 + miles away, your family and Orwell Bible Church has been prayed for on this side of the world.

So very pleased that your church group has reached this goal of chartering. May God continue to bless all of you with a fruitful ministry, that many may come to know Him because of your faithfulness.
