Grace Blogs

As most of you probably know, Grace Fellowship sent a a contingent of 17 people to the 2007 Children Desiring God Conference in Minnesota. Desiring God has already posted Dr. Piper’s opening address: The Gospel for 11-Year-Olds Plus. I’m not sure if the other talks will be posted, but if they are, you will find them here.

Also, Alex Chediak is live-blogging the talks; so, you can follow along that way as well.

Let’s remember to pray for those at the conference as well as those family members (mostly husbands and children) left behind.

At Grace Fellowship, we believe in supporting our members and regular attenders as they go out into the world to carry out the Great Commission. I would like to share with the church body the information that I received from Matt Hodge, on his mission trip to India that starts today.

Matt is currently a student at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.

Please also pray for Matt’s wife Jenny and their son Benjamin in Matt’s absence.

Matt’s Email Letter:

total) to Calcutta, India. I will actually be in India for only ten days,
but will be away from the States for two weeks.

Currrently, we are in the planning stages of the West Virginia and Venezuela mission trips for the summer of 2006. We now have over 40 people signed up for West Virginia and over 20 for Venezuela mission trips for this summer.
