Marion Independent Baptist Church

On March 11 I was scheduled to preach at the Marion Independent Baptist Church in Marion, Illinois with Pastor Keith Rankin.  After arriving at the church on Friday night, we found out that the church was planning a Faith Promise Missions conference and I was the guest speaker for all day Sunday.  For an All Family Sunday School, Rosie helped me tell the story of Ruth; then for the morning service, I preached an evangelistic message from Acts 16.  In the evening service I preached out of Mark as we looked at the Picture of a Sinner, a Saint and a Servant.  

For each service Monday through Wednesday, the church asked me to tell a story with one of my friends to start the service.   On Monday night the speaker for the service was Ken Westenberger a missionary from South Africa.  On Tuesday night it was Evangelist Mike Blackfort who came down from the Chicago area to challenge the church in reaching the lost for Christ.  Finally, on Wednesday night, Missionary Ward Miller ended the Missions Conference.  Please pray for this growing church as they seek to raise their missions giving.
