Panama City

Okay, I know I am long overdue for a post, so here it is. We have been very busy the past couple weeks with traveling and packing, so not much worth writing about has been going on!

We have been back at our home church here in Panama City for almost a week now, and it is good to be back! All the little kids are growing so fast, and I finally got to see Joshua Channer in person, instead of just pictures. (He is adorable, and a very happy baby!) Dad has been helping out at the boys academy almost every day since we got here, which he always enjoys.

One of the nicest things about being here is going to our home church for Church services. There are a few Churches we go to that are like "northern home churches" as Dad says, but it is nice to be at Truth for church! Dad preached all 3 services today. For Sunday School he did a Bible quiz with 30 questions (quizzes are always such fun!).

Tuesday morning we will head out to Georgia, and then head towards Illinois. We will be starting a 6-7 week trek out west (in tents) to do some street preaching and hopefully get some churches out there started in the street ministry. Please pray for us as we will be doing more traveling than usual during that time, not to mention the possible snow and ice. We will try to update regularly, and should get some good pictures to put up!

Street Preaching During Spring Break

We went street preaching today in Panama City Beach for spring break. Here are some pictures from the afternoon.

As expected, it was pretty wild. It seems every time we go out that more and more people are getting hard toward the Gospel, and it was that way today. I talked to several girls dressed (or undressed) in skimpy bathing suits, and they saw no reason why that was wrong, as long as they were comfortable. One of them told me that just because she swore, drank and dressed immodestly, didn't mean she wasn't saved! One group of about 5 girls came back 2 or 3 times to talk to us. Several of them were already so drunk they were staggering (at 3:30 in the afternoon). Seeing things like that makes me so thankful to have been raised in a christian family. One of the girls told us she felt sorry for us, since we had to stand out there holding signs while they were out having fun and partying. I told her I had eternal life, and she was headed for hell unless she got saved...she had no reason to feel sorry for us! Not to mention the better life we have while here on earth, instead of dealing with the consequences of all the sin they will be committing this weekend.
Anyways, it was a good time out preaching, and a few of us did have good talks with people.
