Conferences and Museums
Posted on Tuesday, October 02, 2007 at 3:16 PM by Paul Kovach
The past couple of weeks have been replete with activity as we have been part of a mission conference, a Sunday meeting and a VBS Sunday. The other week we were able to take part in a mission conference in the Dillsboro area. I really appreciated the format the pastor had for the schedule. It truly allowed us to get to know the people of the church as well as provided several opportunities to share our burden and testimonies. There were also several opportunities to relax as well. We, along with the pastor and another group of missionaries had the opportunity to visit the Creation Museum in Kentucky. There were several times I was brought to tears at the sheer splendor if God and His Creation. If you ever have the opportunity, I highly and emphatically encourage you to visit the Museum. Pictures just don't do it justice! On that following Saturday, the women had a shopping trip while the men did a golf scramble. This was my first time in a scramble and found it to be quite different. Following both event s we all took part in their international dinner. We found the people to be very loving and hospitable. CLick here for more photos of the Creation Museum and Conference...
Nearby there is a local pastor with whom I enjoy the privilege of knocking on doors. We go out every Tuesday and Saturday when our family is not traveling. This Saturday we had the opportunity to present the full gospel to a gentleman in the area. He seemed to have a clear understanding, but just was not ready to receive Christ yet. I am praying that the pastor will continue to have the opportunity to water the seed planted. If you think of it, please pray for this man. I always enjoyed these times for they keep me fresh and in remembrance of the privilege of my own salvation.
Yesterday, my wife and I had the opportunity to help a church with a local outreach to the community of children and families. It was a community carnival, held after church services. Ashley had the opportunity to face paint while I did balloons. There were over 300 children and I don’t know how many other families and adults. Throughout the day, the gospel was given and many decisions were made for Christ.
