Man, yesterday was a blast at Pillar. We broke our attendance record again and had a good number of visitors. Yesterday was also the first time since beginning the church that we were able to have baptism during our worship service.. generally, we have to leave the property and go to a hotel but now we have THIS JEWEL and were able to set up right in our worship service.

One of our resident cooks laid out a mean spread of food and the church gathered for breakfast before our worship service. You can check out pictures from the entire day HERE.

There is a lot of momentum for our upcoming anniversary service and birthday bash… I hope you will  be able to attend. Yesterday we had a cartoonist who formally worked for Kings Dominion making THIS TYPE OF THING. He agreed to come to our anniversary service and set up a booth to make caricatures of those who attend. The best part… he is giving every cent of his proceeds to our project in Indonesia!

It’s a golden era at Pillar Church. Things are going great with the ministry and the church is steadily growing in number and a greater number of people previously far from God are coming and growing. This coming weekend we are baptizing 4 in our worship service and each of our church plants and are making very positive steps forward. It feels like a good time to take a break and thank God for what he had done and is currently doing. My friend and mentor Dannie Williams who serves as the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Lyons GA is planning to be here to preach for the day. Then, after the worship service we will be having a birthday party celebrating all that God has done over the past several years. Lunch is provided at the party.  So… I would like to invite you to join us on the 5th anniversary of our public worship services in Dumfries.
