We were privileged to have two pastors visit us this past week. Pastor Brooks McElhenny, our own pastor from Northville Christian, and his brother, Pastor Phillip McElhenny, from Kalamazoo, Michigan, came to view the land and see the possibilities for a ministry team in the future. Both of their churches have faithfully supported our ministry from the beginning. It was very nice to be able to show them some of the work that they have invested in over the years.We started our time with a seminar dealing with offenses in relationships. This was held in Panevezys with churches represented from the area.
Both pastors preached in different churches on Sunday. Pastor Brooks was in Kaunas where he is planning to bring a team to join the pastor and his church in reaching out to a village area where they are planting a church. Pastor Phil was with the Millsaps at their church plant, Kelyje.
Our traveling also took us to three of the Teen Challenge centers where they met students and workers. Many gave their testimonies and we were blessed to hear of what the Lord has done in their lives. This ministry is so vibrant and challenging in our country. We are seeing God use it to change lives in miraculous ways.
Bob even squeezed a quick trip in to the camp for the men to see the project there.
Of course, there was time for some fun and relaxation one day too as we visited the Trakai castle and saw some of the history of Lithuania. We even got to eat at the new Pizza Hut in Kaunas.
It was so good to have them visit us! We were blessed and reminded that our ministry is a team effort and everyone doing their part allows the success stories to be told.
