Watch our Garden Grow!

Dear Friends and Prayer Warriors,

I want to thank you for praying and show you how God is answering.  We've prayed the Lord would provide the materials for the Garden.  This month, the block to build the raised beds were donated (14 pallets worth)!  Praise the Lord!  Several businesses agreed to provide thousands of dollars worth of materials at their cost, which is incredible! Praise the Lord!  Last Saturday, over 20 volunteers from three different churches and the BCM at ETSU came and blessed us as they volunteered.  Some laid block, some knocked on doors. All served well!  Praise the Lord!  The Garden is starting to take shape, and people in our community are beginning to hear about it!

A great first day of building beds!

Things you can be praying for this month.

1. Pray that the Lord would direct lost and non-churched people to come and grow with us.  We want to see people come to know the Lord through this ministry.

2. Pray we get the garden assembled over the next month.  We've got more groups scheduled to come, and it will take a huge community effort to finish the assembly.

3. Please continue to pray that the Lord would bring us a children's minister.  Until the Lord does, we shall persist in prayer for it!

***Denton Friends....Look for info on the short-term trip to come this summer! We'd love to have you come!

One more praise!  As a church, we've been praying and giving towards a new playset to serve the children of our church as well as the community.  Last week, I got a call from the Tennessee Baptist Foundation telling us they were going to grant us the rest of the money we need to purchase a commercial playset for the church. Praise the Lord! It should be installed in time for summer :)
New playset for the church is in the works!


This month I turned 38, and got to have a delightful date with my beautiful wife!

Lily got to go on a mommy/daughter date and get a pedicure for the first time! She loved it!

As a true sign of spring, the local snoballs place reopened for the season! Whohoo!

As a reminder that babies don't keep, Hosea posed for one last picture with his crib before we took it down! Mama may have cried.
He was finally ready for his big-boy bed! He did great with the transition!
With the bed transitions, Lily got a REAL princess bed! She was stoked!
Thanks for reading to the end! God bless you for praying with us!
