Our 34th Christian Teacher Training Class in Leeds, AL
Mike and I arrived at our final destination in Alabama on Friday, January 27 (our granddaughter’s 12th birthday). Mike taught the Christian Teacher Training Class at First Baptist, Leeds, AL, on Saturday. It was the 34th time he has taught this class. We were thankful for every student who came – several traveled a long way to spend 9 hours with Mike. Thank you, First Baptist Church, Leeds, for hosting our training.
Sunday morning services at First Baptist, Leeds, AL
On Sunday morning Mike taught the Sunday School hour with his Dinosaurs and the Bible presentation. In the morning service he gave his Genesis and Biblical Discernment sermon. Once again, we had a heart felt welcome from the wonderful Alabama Christians. We are very sad to leave and hope to return soon. Mike spoke twice on Sunday evening and twice on Monday evening.

One of the joys of meeting brothers and sisters in Christ is that we get to share in fellowship and meals. My, my, my, did we have a great time eating with Pastor Ray McKenzie and his beautiful wife, Connie. At this lunch we did some strategic planning for future training in the state of Alabama. We pray that God will bless Ray and his family and church.
My faithful helper, Susan Whitley
Susan came to the teacher training on Saturday and then all of the sessions at the church. She volunteered to help me with the book sales and then we got the chance to talk a bit. She worked for years in her husband’s business and then started going on mission trips in the US and abroad at a pace that would make most people faint. She is going to Kenya again soon to teach the locals how to do Vacation Bible School. What a blessing to meet so many faithful servants! Love you Susan!
