New child of God in Jonesborough!
Hello all!
Today has been a great day at the 11-E church of Christ! First of all, the past week had been very long and difficult. We were back in AL for a couple of days working on our house when we were notified that a sister at 11-E had passed away. The family wanted me to speak at her funeral, which I did, although I had only visited with her one time. She had only been a christian @ 6 months. Well, yesterday, Tonya and I had her sister over for lunch. She had been visiting for some time at church and I thought it would be a good time to begin a bible study with her and her husband. After lunch I told her how happy we were that they were visiting with us, and then she told me that she wanted to be baptized into Christ! Tonya had a women's bible study at the building tonight after which a few of the men and I arrived and baptized her into Christ. So all members of the Lord's Body now have a new sister, Jane Phillips! We are extremely hopeful for her husband who appears interested in the gospel and has a history with the Christian Church. He has agreed to study, so please, everyone pray for him to have a heart that seeks the truth the gospel offers!

Hey David, I appreciate the work you and your good wife are doing at 11-E. I worshipped with the South Tuscaloosa church a time or two and I was encouraged by the work you and Ryan did there. I pray that God blesses you in your efforts Brother
