Testifying in Word and Deed
June 6th, 2008
Lonnie Hughes & Family
On this first Friday of the month, our Men’s Ministry breakfast meeting was held in the Blue Room. Lonnie Hughes, leader of our Recreation Ministry, gave his testimony. It was powerful. This young man told of his self-doubt and turbulent past as he dealt with the divorce of his parents, a drug problem as a 14-year-old and a speech impediment that was crushing to his self-esteem. The entire Olive family needs to hear this testimony. It was delivered with grace, power and a touch of humor. I was greatly encouraged.
We finished the morning on our knees in prayer. Mike Goehring led the prayer time. He and his wife, Barbara, lead our marriage-mentoring ministry. This special ministry allows seasoned couples to come along side a younger couple who may need some coaching in their marriage relationship. We are seeing some great things happen through these efforts. You might want to be involved or recommend this for someone you know. Call the church office and they can get you details.
I ask that you pray for me this Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. I will be nominating Dr. Johnny Hunt to serve as our next president of the SBC. At this time six others are said to be running. These are critical days for our convention and as always God’s leader is needed.

Lonnie is a true man of God who touched many lives at Rosinton School. He was a mentor and witness to many young people who never would have been exposed to a true man of God otherwise. We all miss him terrible, but are glad that he is doing The Lord’s work!
God Bless!
