We have been having a great time here at Bible Baptist. Rarely do we find a church with such a heart for missionaries. Don’t get me wrong, we love all the churches we go to, but we could tell this church has been praying for us as soon as we got here. They know us all by name, and they were very familiar with us. They have treated us so well, including a trip to the Columbus Zoo, great meals, and gift bags. But Saturday we witnessed something we have NEVER seen before.

We had a great day of soul winning, pizza, and an international dinner (or as I said today, the UN on a plate, ha-ha). We walked to the service tonight we saw five tables front of the church all covered with colorful table cloths. We had a great service as evangelist Bro. Smith preached. Then they had all of us come up front and told us this was a gift from the church to each of the missionaries. Christmas came early for the Spear family! There was clothing, a leather jacket for me, diapers, gift cards, and so much more. WOW! We of course started crying, completely overwhelmed by God’s goodness to us through these wonderful people. We don’t deserve any of this but it was amazing. We are going to try to get some sleep and get ready for Sunday’s services! We pray that God will move tomorrow as the church makes its decision on faith promise for the year.
