We Are Moving To Kilgore!!!

Finally, we get to move to the same town as the church! We are so excited!

We have looked at 4-5 homes to rent in Kilgore, but nothing was working out. Rent is so EXPENSIVE!! Well, a local real estate agent has been working with us and she said she had a house open. She gave us the info and we went to look at it Friday afternoon and looked in the windows. She was out of town on Saturday, so we set up an appointment to look at the house on Sunday afternoon, which worked out great because we were able to take our deacon and his wife to look with us. We wanted another set of eyes to look at the house with us. We filled out all the paperwork and gave them our deposit on Sunday, because the houses for rent in Kilgore rarely last more than 48 hours. It is a tough market for renters. I told the church on Sunday night to pray for God's will. If this is the house, make it happen.

Well, the real estate agent called on Monday morning to tell me that 3 other people put in for the house on Sunday. Oh NO!....Well, she said, the good news is...They want to rent to you. Really, I said. Yes, she said, I told them you have no kids, no pets and he is a Pastor in town, they are the perfect renters. Well, I don't know if that is true, but they agreed with her. Yeah! And she says they are going to put in a new stove and doing some work in the kitchen. God is so good!

Anyway, we get to start moving in a couple weeks. We have about a two week overlap between the house and the apartment. Which is great because that gives us time to clean up a little and not have to move everything hurriedly. Yeah!

It is a great house. It is an older home, but is larger than most. It is a country setting on the edge of town. It is a 3/2 with a 2 car garage. and it sets on an acre lot. It will be great for the ministry!

Did I say we were EXCITED! God answers prayer!

Also, not to make it of any less importance. We had a great Missions Conference. The Lord really blessed in all the services and we are thrilled at what God is going to do this coming year with our missions program. Bro. Chestnut did a great job and the people just loved him. We were able to take up a special offering for his ministry in Romania. It was a Great Conference.

God Bless
