Two in a Row!
Posted on Thursday, November 13, 2008 at 9:06 AM by Paul Kovach
Two great missions conferences in a row. Although we were physically exhausted and emotionally depleted by the end of the second straight mission conference, we were spiritually overflowing. Danville, KY marked our last mission conference for the year. It was a good note to finish on. As God did yet another amazing work in the hearts and lives of this small congregation, they saw their faith promise increase from $20,000 to $60,000! Even in this "trying economy" this church family chose to expand missions this year for the cause of Christ. Again, there was such a sweet spirit and an atmosphere of excitement as the conference began. The church family was excited as they had just converted former rooms in the basement into one of the most beautiful prophet's chambers I have seen. One particular event I enjoyed was the street preaching and tract distribution. It was good to be in a mission conference where the church utilized their missionaries to reach their local community. It was a blessing and an honor to worship in this conference!
A Great Missions Conference

Thomas Helm made the statement that his "test of a good novel is dreading to begin the last chapter." In our situation, the test of a good mission conference is dreading to begin the last night. We just finished with a wonderful mission conference in Millville, PA. Even though the church has been without a pastor the spirit of the church was so very sweet and you could see the love that they had for one another. I wish to, by their sensitivity to the Lord, encourage other churches by their example. We were witness to the Lord doing many incredible things in and through the church, including increasing their faith promise by 55%. Even the deacons were amazed at the Grace of God bestowed upon their church family as their faith promise increased from $20,000 to $30,700! Praise the Lord for their sensitivity to the prompting of God's Spirit. It is my wish, even as the Apostle Paul wished in II Corinthians, that God's people abound in this same grace also; remembering the love of Christ how he became poor for our sakes that we might be rich through Him.
