First Bible Baptist Church Invitation

Pastor George Grace of First Bible Baptist Church handed on the Soldiers Bible Ministry materials to Pastor Gary Sauer. Gary's asked me to present at two services next month and September for a local Army and a local Marine unit at their special service they have before a family picnic for their units before deployment. Gary wanted them to get first hand exposure to the Soldiers Bible Ministry.

Major Dave Young will be joining me on those days as well.

Thank you, Gary (and thank you, God!)

It's Here!

Hey Brother John,

I just wanted to send you a quick note to tell you that the packages all arrived two days ago. I would have contacted you immediately but my internet on the FOB has been down for a week or so and I am currently out at one of our remote patrol bases for a few days with working internet (praise God). Anyways, I just want to tell you how blown away I was by everything.

I was so blessed I almost broke down in front of my guys. I had several men with me when I opened them and they were blown away too. From us all - Thanks!!!!!

I have already used the amp and the guitar pickup (Fishman pickups are the best in my opinion) and they really sound awesome. I also began giving out harmonicas to the troops and they were gladly and excitedly received. I will start writing thank you's and putting some photos together next week for you and those who contributed to this mission. What a blessing! I have not had time yet to get the coffee going but it looks like it is going to be fantastico! As you may have heard, coffee is a favorite pastime over here. I look forward to enjoying it with my friends.

Once again John, my deepest appreciation and thanks for everything. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. I am praying for you and ask God's richest blessing on you and your ministry. It is definitely making a difference and a huge impact for the Kingdom. Oh I almost forgot, my wife Cindy also sends her thanks and blessings.

I should have internet back up when I get back in a few days and will try to do better at staying in touch.

Love ya in Yeshua!
Chris
