Pastor John Dooley and Pastor Joel Wegner have been long time friends of Aaron. Their faithfulness in ministering to the people of Colonial Baptist Church is evident in the congregation’s lives. Their sweet kindness toward us in providing snacks and delicious food all week, staying around to talk for a long while after the services were over and their constant and bold prayers for Aaron as he preached through sickness, encouraged us in our ministry.

We were privileged to serve in Hindman, Kentucky at Big Branch Baptist Church with Pastor Rob Paddock. As the week started, the church members were thankful for good weather that made it possible for them to come fellowship and worship. (They had missed a few Sundays in the past month due to snow and ice...and in the hills of Kentucky, there’s not much going on when there’s a lot of stuff on the roads!) The Beth’el Christian Academy had not had school for two weeks straight, so we were thankful to have time with them throughout the week. Aaron, Jason and Brad all preached in chapels, and we all spent time getting to know the students.
