Home sweet home indeed! While praying for our supporting churches this morning, I realized that Alabama is our largest supporting state! We have a total of 7 supporting churches in Alabama, who average $65 in their monthly support, but not including our # 1 supporting church, our home church, Madison Baptist, who supports us for 25% of our overall support.
Praise GOD for Alabama!

Wedding Bells!
To complete the miracle of salvation of Ismael a week ago Monday, he was gloriously married to Mari at church on Sunday morning! After 30 years of marriage, including 25 years of separation (with a pile of iniquity on both sides, including infidelity) the two were united in marriage before God and man with a glorious wedding service.
We combined a regular church service with a wedding--not one at a time, right after each other but truly combined. We sang, prayed, sang, prayed, had the ring presentation, preaching, biblical vows and a great deal of rejoicing in what The Lord has done. There were 70 in attendance, whom all heard the gospel preached and were invited to receive Christ. Most everyone was in shock at such a dramatic combination but everything went extremely well and most importantly to the glory of God.
There was a nice reception afterwards with great food and fellowship. Honestly, it was the most Christ-centered and Christ-honoring wedding/reception I've ever seen (not because I conducted it, but because of how The Lord directed everything to come to pass).
It was a great example of how God works to everyone in the church and to all the visitors. The miracle of God putting the two of them back together truly was amazing. Right now, they are celebrating on their honeymoon and will return in a few days to continue their counseling/discipleship.
Ain't God GOOD! What an answer to prayer, and a testimony to God's answering of prayer to all of you who have prayed for this. Thank you and thank GOD!
