Blessings at the Convention

Heartfelt thanks to all of you who prayed for us at the Christian Ministry Training Convention at the Pasadena Convention Center this last weekend. We had the most wonderful, dynamic, and BUSY time! This was our booth. We had an open binder of historic pictures of our grandparents as they served in evangelism, pastoring, and church planting from 1914 to 1971. We also had an open binder of letters of recommendations from individuals and groups of pastors from many denominations who united to call our "Papa" to their communities. Written in mostly in the 1920's and '30's, people were fascinated to read these remarkable letters and see pictures of the 3,000 person tent which was shipped by rail from town to town.

We were so thrilled to share samples of the handwritten sermons by our grandfather which we discovered, apparently forgotten for generations, in our mother's rafters. When the visitors to the booth saw how God continues to use Papa's words in the devotional books we published, they were struck by the importance and blessing of a strong spiritual heritage. 

We were invited to speak at the convention on "Family Time With God" which is near and dear to our hearts. We were so blessed to see the enthusiastic response to the Scriptural basis and hints gleaned from our own lives and ministries.. We couldn't stop praising the Lord  for what He accomplished through His grace and power. We serve such an awesome God!

To serve the Lord with a wonderful, Godly, and very multitalented sister as my dear sis
Cara, (shown above) was an absolute delight. I don't think we stopped talking for all three days! How could we stop when so many terrific things were happening? - Not the least of which was making lots of new friends. We tried to at a minimum, smile, speak, and give our card or a bookmark to every person there. That was quite a goal, but everyone was so friendly and joyful, that we met many wonderful people who talked with us at length. We will carry many of them in our hearts forever. There was the sweet little mom to whom Cara gave lots of home-schooling tips. There was the 17 year old ROTC chaplain who was so on fire for the Lord, he couldn't stop grinning. There were our neighbors from the Logos Booth, who stole our hearts with their friendly tips and continual encouragement. (Pray for Tom - he is in Columbia this week taking the sword of the Spirit (the Word) to pastors in that country.) And, there were the literally hundreds of Christians worshipping, praising together. All denominations, all together. It was beautiful, and it was a beautiful feeling knowing how many people were encouaged to be consistantly in the word. After all, that is the goal of Classic Christianity: a Year of Timeless Devotions. The blessings of Scripture and Biblical teaching is truly timeless.

Still in the afterglow, I urge you with all my heart to get into the Word and get the Word into you.   Blessings, Patti
