In Mark 16:15, GOD’s Word commands us to “go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” GOD has specifically called 3,623 persons to surrender their lives to full-time overseas missionary service.

I Chronicles 16:34 declares, “Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” Psalm 136: 1-3 states, “Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever! Oh, give thanks to the GOD of gods! For His mercy endures forever! Oh, give thanks to the LORD of lords! For His mercy endures forever!

Today I, along with our Redemption Hill Church family, express sincere appreciation to all men and women who have served in our armed forces. We are blessed beyond measure to have some of these men and women as active members of our church family! We so appreciate their service to our country!

I really enjoy reading, and typically read two books at a time. I am on track to read 40 books this year. Reading expands my knowledge, assists me in growing spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually, and provides “an escape” from “what is going on out there.” Here are some books I would highly recommend for your reading: 1. The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of the Great Migration by Isabelle Wilkerson. The author chronicles the lives of three persons who moved

I am delighted to report the results of our recent deacon election. We have four persons who have been elected deacons: Charlie Sabadell, Nicholas Rasmussen, Austin Patchin, and Laurent Meya.

I praise GOD for the way He blessed our "Drive-Thru Trail of Treats" this past Saturday at our property at the southwest corner of Markseffel and Bradley Roads. We had a wonderful team of "servants" who made a difference for the event. We started the process at 11:00 am and unloaded supplies & items back at the church around 6:00 pm. I greatly appreciate the many hours our children's director, Kathy, invested in planning and organizing the event! A continuous stream of veh
