Sermon's On Blog
I have started to post my sermons on the blog for anyone interested in listening to them. If you look to the right side of the page and scroll down, you will see "Sermon Player". You can click on play to listen to the sermon. The one posted is from this past weekend where I preached at Living Word Baptist Church in Creedmoor, NC.
I will use this a lot more once we get to Africa to record and play sermons that we here or that I preach while in the field, and also for any other audio that I think may be of interest to anyone.

Siloam Missionary Homes
OK so you have heard about where we are at, seen some pictures of our community here, but I have not told you too much about the founders Larry and Joyce George.
They started this ministry 17 years ago and God has truly blessed their ministry and the many missionaries that God has sent through here. And each day our family is blessed by the ministry in many ways.
So I have attached a link to the website for Siloam Missionary Homes.

Also, if you would be interested in bringing a youth group, or church group here to work on the many projects, contact the office. There are many ways in which you can help serve the missionaries here and this ministry to them.

How to Support the Bradsher's
There are a couple ways that you can support our family. The most important is through prayer. Prayer for the Namibians that we will be working with, for our health and safety, and for our financial needs.
The second way is to join our financial support team. You can be a monthly, bi-annual or annual supporter. You can also make one time gifts, and all are greatly appreciated and a blessing to our ministry in Namibia.
To support our ministry financially, you can mail a check to the following:
SIM USA
14830 Choate Circle
Charlotte, NC 28273
Make the check out to SIM and on the subject line of the check, or in the envelope on a sheet of paper, put for Brian and Kristen Bradsher Acct# 024621.
Or you can go the following link and contribute on-line.

A Good Lord's Day
Today was a really great day. We got up and drove an hour south of Snow Camp to Broadway, NC, which is near Sanford. A good friend of mine, Mike Hall, is the pastor at Juniper Springs Baptist Church.
Mike and I graduated High School together, played on the high school B-Ball team, and both attended NCSU.
Mike has been the pastor at Juniper Springs for five years. Truly a wonderful church, and the message that Mike gave today was very convicting. It is awesome to see how the Lord is working through Mike and his church in Broadway.
One cool thing that we found out was the name of our children:
Mike's Kids: Cameron, Hannah Katherine, Carter
Our Kids: Cameron, Hannah Catherine, Corbin
We should have discussed the third child's name better! :)
You can find out more about his church at the following link.

A Day At Siloam
You might wonder what goes on here in the community in a day. So here is a little bit of what our days are like.
The kids get up every morning at 6am! Way to early!!
Brian has prayer and devotion time each morning at 8am with all the men.
From 9-1pm Brian works on correspondence, checking e-mail, contacting churches interested in our ministry, studying seminary work, and working on upcoming sermons.
During 9-1pm Kristen Homeschooling Hannah and Cameron, and chases Corbin around the house.
In the afternoons, Kristen works on seminary studies, and Brian takes the kids exploring.
By this time is is 5pm and we work on supper and family time together.
A full day in deed. Below are some pictures of the day.

Pictures from Siloam
I wanted to post a few pictures from our new missions home here in Snow Camp. So here they are! Included are:
Our Chapel where we have morning prayer each day, Mocha the Community Dog, the Missionary Store where everything is free, like eggs, cereal, fresh milk from a local farm, mac and cheese, and just about everything else you can think of. All of the items are donated from local people and churches, thechickens that the kids enjoy feeding scraps to every day, to which also supply us with the free eggs, our portion of the duplex that we live in, to which is also fully furnished, and my new office area including the youngest missionary at Siloam. :)

Missionary Home
Well, we are finally moved in to our new missionary home in Snow Camp, NC. What a wonderful ministry Siloam has here. There are missionaries from all over the world here.
It is out in the country and has lots of room for the kids to roam and play. The kids love to feed the chickens, we like to eat their eggs, and they also enjoy playing in the woods.
This is a short one, but wanted to thank everyone that helped us move and also for the many prayers as well.
Look forward to sending pictures of us all very soon.
Many Blessings!

OK, Long Time No See
I can't believe that it has been six months since I have posted on this blog, but a lot has been going on since then and I or we are back.
This is just a short post to let you know that we are moving to Snow Camp, NC this coming weekend as we take a step of faith, trusting in our Mighty God. My last day of work is this coming Wednesday.
Now that we are three months from the field and I will have a little more time on my hands, I am going to get our blog back up and running so as to keep you all well informed of where God has us.
We still have 8% more to raise in monthly support, but feel that God will bring that in the next couple of months, if He hasn't already.
Thanks to all of you for your prayers and support over the past 15 months. It truly means a lot, more than you will ever know, to our family.
Many blessings!
