A growing body!

A new child is born in Christ!  Last night after their study, Pam H. was immersed into Christ (even tho it was freezing outside and she was terrified of water!).  Pam works for Layne and has been attending with her husband, Pete, at Highway for about a year now.  Pete was baptized when he was 14 but has been out of duty for a very long time.  He has expressed his desire to return to the church.  We are so excited to have this wonderful couple as part of our family!

It does my heart good to see the love and energy that is flowing at Highway!  We've been through some rough times over the past few years.  However, the growth of the congregation and each member has been so encouraging.  We've had five conversions in the past few months...aided by several different members.  The beauty of the "body", as Christ designed it, is an amazing thing.   Eph 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

What is even better is to hear of the same thing happening in other congregations around the brotherhood.  It is an exciting time in the church!  I pray that we will continue to respond to God's teachings and the influence of His Spirit and that the Word will be magnified in the world.  To God be the glory!

Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:  13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:  14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
