Easter Service & More...
The Lord continues to move among us here in Marysville...even last night Pastor Gerry and I had the opportunity to visit with a woman and her son. The young man repented of his sins and trusted Christ as his Savior and is now telling all of his friends on Facebook and school today what happened to him last night! Jesus tells us Mark 5 to go and tell others what has happened to us...SO GO TELL. They visited Living Hope Church last Sunday looking for a church to find truth in. They came to know about Living Hope through the church website (www.livinghopemarysville.com). Please be praying for our Easter service on April 4th as we celebrate the life of Christ and the 1 year celebration of Living Hope Church!

January & February 2010 Latest...
The journey continues to be amazing here at Living Hope Church in Marysville, Ohio. God continues to show us how big He really is and how small we really are! The New Year got off to a fast start with more people coming to know Christ, taking their next steps through baptism, and several signing the covenant and joining the church family.
Growth and excitement is not the only event we have seen here in Central Ohio, as there were 3 major snowstorms that have hit the Midwest and more specifically, Central Ohio. You can see to your left a picture of just how high the snow piled up. As a result, we had to cancel the worship service on Sunday, February 7th due to a level 2-snow emergency. This southern boy from Memphis is still adjusting to this stuff!
Living Hope Church baptized 3 more individuals on Sunday, February 21st. Their picture on the left is a representation of the different people and ages that we are seeing lives changed by the Lord. There are already several individuals waiting to be baptized at the next baptism service in a few weeks, to God be the glory!
I had the honor of traveling to Orlando, Florida February 24th -28th to speak and teach at the First Baptist Church of Central Florida (www.fbccf.net). Dr. Clayton Cloer is Pastor and they began partnering with us in January. I preached at their Men’s Breakfast and shared what the Lord is doing here in Marysville.
Even this past week, a woman drove by our church office sign and saw the words “Living Hope Church Offices” and felt the Lord move in her heart. She said she had reached her end and did not know where to turn. As a result, she walked in and said she needed Living Hope and an hour later repented of her sins and trusted Christ to save her! Your faithful and sacrificial partnership is making an eternal difference here in Marysville and around the world.
Please pray for our 1-year anniversary service that occurs on Easter Sunday, April 4th. We are asking the Lord for 300 people on this special day to celebrate Christ and the difference He makes through His resurrection, how we have Living Hope because He is alive! (1 Peter 1:3)
We are in the middle of praying and raising $7,500 to purchase a video camera, new projector, screen, and staging. As a result of the growth which we praise the Lord for, we must grow with the growth in order for those in the back of the service to see and hear everything in the service. If you would like to help us reach this goal, you may visit our website (www.livinghopemarysville.com) and make a donation on-line or contact us here at the church offices!
I thank the Lord for your partnership in the Gospel,
