Sledding Fun

Here are the promised videos! Hope you enjoy! : )

I thought I had them until I watched them on the actual blog. They somehow posted wrong with the videos going in fast forward and the audio staying at regular speed. What a comedy! We were in tears from laughing so hard! Hopefully this time it is much better.....well, I should say, the way it was intended to be. : )

Ray was born into a very poor family. His father was a drunkard and went to prison when Ray was a young boy. When he was 8 years old, his family was torn apart, and the children were separated and sent to different foster homes. It was just a few months after this transition in his life, that he trusted Christ as his Savior. At the age of 16, he was taken out of the foster home, and sent to a boy's home. There, he was required to attend the church across the road from the home. He met Wanda at this church, and they were married the day before his 18th birthday. They continued in that same church for 23 more years. In 1992, the Lord used circumstances to begin moving them out of that church, and they began attending a church where the Gospel was preached. Ray started growing in the Lord, and realized the need to surrender his whole life to the Lord. In May of 1993, God called him to preach, and he completed his training at Ambassador Baptist College in May, 2002.
Wanda was raised in a well respected family. She was in church all of her life, but never heard that you must trust Christ and His shed blood ONLY or the consequence would be to spend an eternity in Hell when you die. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." (Romans 3:23-28) When she heard the Gospel preached, it was much different than what she had been taught all of her life. The Lord was faithful, and continued to convict her heart and show her she could never "earn" salvation (baptism, Catechism, communion, church membership, or good works). After about two months of hearing the Gospel, she trusted Christ as her Savior.

"...old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

God has burdened our hearts to plant churches in Bladen County, NC. Our highest aim in life is to glorify our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and to point others to a saving knowledge of Him by grace through faith: "and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
