We first went to the field in Jan. of 1984. We went under-supported and struggled through a year and a half. The boys were young and Elizabeth was a baby.<br />We were off the field until 1992. When we went to the state of Veracruz, Steve had graduated from high school,and was with us for the 1st 6 months. Jeremy was 16 and was with us for almost 3 years. Elizabeth was with us the whole time.<br /><br />Betty,<br />You are too kind.<br /><br />Cameron,<br />You're kidding!? There are actually pastors who don't have confidence in the sufficiency of God's Word?<br />Just kidding. I know there are. They talk of a desire to "win souls", but their true zeal is for numbers. The gimmicks they use to help things along will get the numbers; but God will use only the faithful exposition of His Word to bring men to a true saving faith.Garry Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03576501820657549682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26181288.post-21256601993340125692007-01-18T11:10:00.000-05:002007-01-18T11:10:00.000-05:00I'm sure you've experienced it, but the same menta...I'm sure you've experienced it, but the same mentality is rampant among pastors as well as missionaries. Thanks for sharing this. It's refreshing to read someone with an evangelistic heart, but a scriptural perspective of methods.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26181288.post-37595346200150410742007-01-18T09:00:00.000-05:002007-01-18T09:00:00.000-05:00Good morning.
