Two more items which I should mention are these… during this mission trip, our IWC friends also worked on a construction project to help continue development of an outreach center which the Jelsava Baptist Church will be using to connect with the youth of the area. This was long, hard, hot work. These guys and gals built a bloc retaining wall in the back of the property and resurfaced / repaired some of the floors inside the building. Also, our Roma preacher friend, Matej Novy brought his family and they witnessed and sang to people all over the community. Matej preached several times during the week and saw many come to Christ. All in all, we feel this was a very successful mission where we had many victories and souls come to Christ in salvation.

Last night I was blessed to share in a special service that was designed to introduce a potential recovery church to Humboldt, TN.
