On Sunday morning, before we all dispersed to go back home, we shared <strong>Communion<\/strong> together, remembering the death of Jesus who bore our sins in His body on the cross and shed His blood for the remission of sins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this year\u2019s conference, it was almost as if we (Bob and me) were sitting on the outside, looking in. Even though Bob taught one of the sessions, we had no part in organizing or making preparations for the conference or in their plans for the coming year of ministry and outreach.\u00a0 The TCMK churches are strong and solid; they love the Lord, they are eager to keep on learning, they value fellowship with fellow believers and are effectively reaching out to those who are still unsaved!\u00a0 <strong>TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE AND CONTINUES TO DO!!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Progress!
