Easter Joy

Karen and I had the joy of being back home in Illinois for an old fashioned revival meeting at Grace Community Church pastored by Tom and Deb Smith. Revivals are rare nowadays let alone around Easter but the Lord drew them to schedule it during Holy Week.

It was very successful in many ways. Believers in the region were revived; members were deeply touched; several non-believers met the Lord and were baptized before and during the time of the revival.

Easter Is a time of great happiness for us who believe. I trust all of you were blessed by the Lord and were reminded of the great privilege we have to be called "The Children of God".
