The Florida Plant   November 10, 2022 FLORIDA PLANT: MAKING ROOM,           YOUTH #'s GROWING & 7 BAPTIZED   Bring Them In!   The (below) pics are of our weekly efforts at the Church Plant to reach the lost in Hernando County.  We generally send out two or three teams of members visiting our van routes and or knocking doors.  God continues to bless our efforts of obedience to go in Jesus name by giving constant fruit in the form of new youth and new families.   We are seeing youth and adults trust Christ and unite with the Church through baptism as a result of our highways and hedges ministry. We are commanded to go, we are called to go and we gladly carry the gospel to a lost and dying world.  It’s hard to be light and salt when we hide our light under a bushel.    1Co 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.  1Co 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Knocking out Walls As you can see from the (below) photos, we continue to knock out walls in the building we recently purchased. These building projects are an effort to facilitate continued growth as well as improve the quality of our worship services. We fully realize the Church is not the building but we also realize the Lord's house should be a place of excellence. Isa 54:2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes. New Members:7 Baptized   Over the last two month's we have baptized seven souls at the Church plant.  We continue to baptized both youth and adults who have recently received Christ and also those who were saved and needed to be baptized into the Church.   To God be the glory!  Matt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Matt 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.   Adopt a Van?   A large part of the ministry and outreach of the Florida Plant is a very active van ministry. Each week we can be found out in the highways and hedges bringing youth and adults to Christ and the house of God. We have recently been given a great blessing of (two) Ford fourteen passenger vans from Missionary Reagan Hawthorn and His Ministry. (Below)    Bro. Reagan said that He has been praying for the right ministry to pass these blessings on too.    We praise the Lord for these Chariots of Salvation! With all that said, we have been working on getting these vans delivered from Arizona to Florida.  After studying many options of flying to Arizona and driving them back its become apparent with the cost of fuel and needed time, it is cost prohibitive.  For that reason we have chosen to have them transported at a cost of $2500.00 each.   We are thankful for our prayer partners, so please pray for this provision and if you or your Church is looking to help us fulfill the Great Commission, this would be a project well worth considering.   Adopt A Van!     Luke 14:23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. Thank you for Holding the Rope!   Php. 1:3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,Once again we want to take this opportunity to thank our God for the Churches of the American Baptist Association as well as individual friends, family and brethren who partner with Sis. Terry and I in East African and Florida. Please keep us and the Lord's Churches in Prayer as we push towards the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus.   In His Service,   Bro. Chuck & Sis.
