If given a $10,000 check we would:
Give tithe, get some vehicle repair done, create a dental/orthodontic medical savings account, and pay off debt.
A great answer to prayer was: God making it clear to our whole family, including the boys, that He wanted us to move to Salem, West Virginia!
A project I’m excited about: Our church has recently partnered with an ecumenical group called Open Heart Ministry to help reach out to the poor and needy in our community.
My vision for SDBs: I pray that we might truly be the “salt of the earth” and the “light of the world” (Matt 5:13-14). I pray that SDBs would be such a loving and committed group of believers—toward God, each other, our communities, and our world—that our love, sharing of the Gospel, and good works would shine as a witness to Jesus and draw everyone around us to join in the Kingdom of God!
