Leavin' On a Jet Plane

On my blog post dated March 9, 2009, I talked about a trip to western New York state to investigate potential connections/partnerships with churches and/or church plants that are affiliated with the Frontier Baptist Association. Well, the time for the trip has finally arrived. I leave today with two others from Mississippi. We will fly into Buffalo and be in the surrounding area through Monday. We will attend the mid-year meeting of the Frontier Association on Saturday. On Sunday we will be speaking/preaching in various churches. I will be preaching at the First Baptist Church of Silver Creek, New York. Silver Creek is on the shore of Lake Erie, about a forty-five minute drive southwest of Buffalo. We will also spend time getting a "feel" for the area and possibly meeting with other church and association leaders.

Please be in prayer for several things related to this trip. Pray that we will be sensitive and attentive to God's leading related to connections with the New York churches. Pray that we will have God's anointing as we speak and preach over the weekend. Pray for our safety as we travel and for the safety of our loved ones while we are away. Pray for Rocky as he preaches at Petal FBC in my absence.
