Picture the excitement of a group of children waiting in line to get the autograph of someone they admire, respect, and appreciate. Then imagine them actually getting to shake that person’s hand and meeting them in person. I witnessed this first hand tonight as kids of all ages stood in line to meet my husband Michael and have him autograph their Bibles. It was the sweetest thing!These children were at Old Paths Bible Baptist Church in Clarion, New York. Wednesday night we presented our ministry at this family oriented church. It is clear that the church has taught the children to have an appreciation for missionaries. Instead of their families idolizing Hollywood, musical or sports stars - they look up to people who are interested in reaching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These kids genuinely admire a person who is willing to move and invest their lives into starting churches in areas where there are none.
We had a great meeting at OPBBC. It was great to see some of our good friends who attend there. As Michael gave the invitation, it was wonderful to see how many young children went forward to the altar. Very sweet. Lord, please never allow Satan to steal that softness from them.

Glad your visit went so well. It's nice to see families and children not given over to pop culture. :)
