Amidst the chaos, we saw several professions of faith today at the Choctaw Indian Reservation, Philadelphia, MS.
The ministry of Perry Co Baptist Association, in south MS, partnering with Bogue Chitto Choctaw Baptist Church in Philadelphia, have run a ministry of ARTS to reach the Choctaw Indian children for Christ. Using the different areas (dance, puppetry, art, music, etc) they meet once a quarter. They are hoping this might grow into something larger so they would appreciate your prayers. The men leading are pastors of their churches. Rev Chuck Terrell and Rev Sam Dixon.
Once we wrapped things up in Philadelphia, we drove to Lake, MS, to spend the night with friends. We will be in a nearby church in the morning for a Christmas concert then will head home after lunch. Pray that the hearts of those in attendance at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church will be moved to minister this Christmas season.
Patty’s dad is feeling good today and his weight is holding, which following his chemo treatment yesterday, we were certain would begin the upward trend that has been typical. We rejoice in that and will be headed home instead of Yazoo, as of now.
Thank you for your faithfulness and prayers!
John
