I returned late last night from Martinsville, Virginia, where I spoke Sunday to Tuesday at the Fontaine Baptist Church Missions Conference. Andrew Shanks, for four years a DGCC member while in seminary, is the pastor. It was a great joy to be with Andrew, Laura, and their not-quite-two-year-old Julienne. Thanks to Ed, Annette, Fred, Earl, and Catherine for driving up Monday; we all had dinner together before the meeting that evening. The conference messages are available at this link:
