We are in Philly.

Well we arrived in Philadelphia March 10th around dinner time all safe and sound. Was a long trip, but uneventful.

This past Sunday was a great day. Our family was commissioned in one of our support churches, Chelten Baptist. It was a very special time for our family as all five of us had elders of the church lay hands on our family and pray for God's hand upon us and our ministry in Namibia. We were commissioned in both services.

We had a surprise in that Chelten was having a Baby Dedication service that day, and had one family that could not make it, so we were able to dedicate Corbin to the Lord in the second service.

For the last week Brian has been serving at Chelten Baptist working with the food pantry ministry. The church gives food to close to 150 families a week. The local Trader Joes donates food five days a week. So every morning Brian goes in and collects the days food, sorts through it all and gets it ready for the distribution for the week.

It was great to talk with the people that came in to get food last week. All types of people, all types of situations, and all very thankful that the church is helping them out.

On Monday March 23rd Brian will have the opportunity to lead a service during Chelten's "Chosen 300" ministry in down town Philly. Chosen 300 is a homeless ministry in inner city Philly where 300+ men, women and children are fed, have a worship service and get a chance to hear the gospel. Brian went to help serve food with this ministry back in November of 2008 and it was a blessing to help serve these wonderful people.

Well that is enough for now.

Many Blessings to All!
