ABOUT 60 OR 70 OF THE FOLKS FROM FBBC WENT TO THE BALL GAME MONDAY NIGHT. Here is Johnny Hugging the New Britain Rock Cats Mascot!

PLEASE PRAY FOR 4 ORPHANED CHILDREN

Please pray for Tom, age 12, Simon, age 10, Titus and Tabitha, age 7. About 5 or so years ago their Dad died of a heart attack. Yesterday morning Simon found his Mom dead. She had died the night before of a heart attack. This is such a heart breaking situation. These are four GREAT kids.

Please pray that I would have the wisdom of the Lord to be able to help these kids. Also, please pray for the funeral service this Saturday at 4:00 PM.

Thanks for caring!

JOB 29:11-2 When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me: 12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.

A SOUL SAVED TODAY!

PRAISE THE LORD!

Today we saw an answer to 13 years of prayer! Todd Sturgeon's Mom was in Connecticut (she lives in Florida) visiting Todd and his family and his Mom and Step Dad came to church. Well, she was gloriously saved this morning. Thirteen years but worth it all today as she stepped out and came forward to repent of her sin and trust the Lord Jesus Christ as her Saviour! GLORY TO GOD! A new name written down in glory!

VBS IS OVER...BUT THE LORD IS STILL WORKING!

Well, day 5 and the last night of this years VBS was a great finish to blessed week. We had well over 100 kids, teens and adults here for the last night. There was a skit on salvation at the conclusion of the night. To our knowledge there were four children saved during the week.

However, it did not stop there as I just got off the telephone from speaking to two of our families and was told that two more (their children and grandchildren) boys were saved this afternoon. So, the seed sowed by the holy Spirit this past week is still reaping souls even after the VBS is concluded. God's word never returns void!

I praise the Lord for all the teens and adults who worked so hard to make this a blessed VBS. They ALL did an AWESOME job! MY THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!

All of us (children, teens and adults) are already looking forward to next years VBS!

"Ship Ahoy" for next year!

Day 4 at VBS August 11, 2011

PRAISE THE LORD! We had 59 children come to VBS last night with 7 first time visitors. Another young boy was saved. His name is Nelson Guzman and he is 8 years old. It sure is exciting. He is a cousin of one of our church family.

These kids are having a fun time for sure, but the sole purpose is to provide an opportunity for lost kids to hear the gospel. We even had a teen come as a participant because he was invited by one of the visitors who has been coming all week long. He felt out of place being a ninth grader sitting with 6th graders so I hooked him up with a few of our teen boys who were working in the VBS. He seemed to feel better after that and opened up a tad. I invited him to come to church on Sunday so he could go to the teen class. He seemed very interested. He then told me he was planning to return again tonight. GLORY!

I have attached a few more pictures from last night...KEEP PRAYING!

VBS 2011 DAY THREE

We had another GREAT night at VBS tonight. Forty-nine children came and (I believe) we had 4 visitors. One young girl of 8 years old came because her Mother and her were driving by on RT 177 and saw our sign in front of the church office. The GREAT news is that this girl was gloriously saved tonight. She had heard about salvation before but it never really “clicked” until tonight. Praise the Lord!

We are looking forward to tomorrow night and anticipating the Lord working in the hearts of these kids tomorrow and Friday night. Please keep praying!

THANKS to all of our adults and teens and the Kaisers for laboring for Christ in this VBS!

Day 2 at VBS August 9, 2011

Praise the Lord! Tonight we had 12 more come to VBS bringing 52 children to the VBS! The GREAT NEWS is that one 8 year old boy was saved tonight! GLORY TO GOD!

His name is Dylan. He is a deaf boy and so very nice. So polite and very happy. He and his sister both came to VBS for the first time tonight. They have both been ministered to by my daughter, Shari, who has "babysat" for them during the last several week. As my daughter is an ASL interpreter she has been communicating the gospel to the children. Last night at VBS Victoria Anderson, who is one of our Teen ASL interpreters was signing for Dylan and she lead him to Christ. He was very happy to be saved! Praise the Lord!

Keep PRAYING!

HAPPY DAY EXPRESS - VBS

Well, the first night of VBS was tonight. We had 40 children and about 30 adult workers and a bunch of our teenagers and singles working everywhere. IT WAS AN AWESOME first night. We had a blast to be sure. The kids can't wait to get back tomorrow and many were excited to invite their friends and neighborhood kids. The theme is all centered around Getting Onboard the Heaven Bound Train. The auditorium was decorated with a train complete with lights, "smoke" from the steam engine and sound effects of a train chugging down the tracks. The kids learned a theme song, had a bible lesson and craft time, and then snacks. They were so excited. Praise the Lord for all the folks helping the Kaiser's tonight. I am praying for more children tomorrow and for the Lord to work in the hearts of the children who are ready to get saved.

GLORY TO GOD FOR ALL THAT HE ACCOMPLISHES THIS WEEK IN THE HEARTS OF THESE CHILDREN.
