We had a great 1st-Annual Mission's Conference here at VSIBC!

Kami, our girls, and several ladies in the church decorated the tables in the themes of different countries for our Banquet on Saturday night.

Kami's Table was Kenya!

Mexico

China

We also had America, Nicaragua, Germany & St. Barthelemy (France)

The ladies all prepared foods from around the world! We had more than enough to eat and plenty of desserts!

Here is 1 of our missionary families: the Payton family going to Nicaragua!

At the Banquet, we had special music, a video presentation & some trivia games. We gave away gift certificates, custom jewelry made by Elisabeth, & one man won a bucket full of 20-ga shotgun shells!

Dr. Dean Hamby could not be with us do to a medical emergency but Dr. Fred Kindhart was most 'kind-hearted!' to fill in as our guest speaker! Overall, our first conference was a success and we are excited about what the Lord is doing through our Mission's program and the faith of God's people.

Family Tips For The Taking:

"I CHANGE NOT".....That is what the LORD tells us in Malachi 3:6. As a child of God, I am able to fully depend upon my Heavenly Father to never change. He is stable, reliable, and always keeps His word and standards! This makes it possible to serve, obey, and have confidence in my God. I am able to succeed and live a true Christian life, not because I am great, but because I have a God who never changes and I know what He expects and how to succeed.

It would be hard to be a Christian if we served a god who changes his mind and flip flops on his laws and expectations. We would never have full confidence in our God nor fully trust Him because we would never know what to expect or what is right/wrong from day to day.

Thus, our children would have the same difficulties if we as parents are not consistent. One of the worst things that we can do, is to flip-flop on our convictions and standards before our children.

Let me explain....we have a rule in our family that we will never watch a movie or read a book with any curse word, no matter how "small" the curse word may be. If at any time, we continue to watch a movie or to read a book that has a curse word, we have just destroyed the "trust" and "standard" that we have set up for our children. Our children will then question in their hearts, all of our other standards, convictions, rules, and beliefs. They will never see them as "Biblical", but rather as "optional". This sets up a double standard or double mind in our home and there will be no consistency. Why does our younger generation struggle with Biblical standards and righteousness today?....Why is it that our younger generation is so unstable today?.....because we have failed to set a Biblical standard that does not change and that they can follow and believe in. Thus they become double minded. The Bible says, "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways."

Parents, it is of the utmost importance that we be consistent and Biblical in all things. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might!!!

Prayer Requests & Praises:

Prayer Requests:
1) Please continue to be in prayer for Kami as we continue down the adventurous and trying health issues that Kami is dealing with. The doctors are still searching for answers.

2) Please be in prayer for Victory Springs Ind. Baptist Church. We are praying for one more 'solid' family to join that would be able to jump right in and faithfully help us in the ministries of the church.

Praises!!!

1) Praise the Lord for what God has been doing thus far at VSIBC! We still have a long way to go before the church is self-standing but to be where we are after 15 months is exciting!
