New Hope Baptist Church

Pastor Tadd Butler
Allegan, Michigan

















On our way to the church of another one of our Crown alumni pastors, we were able to make a stop at one of Michigan's beautiful state parks and explore the shoreline of Lake Michigan. Mr. Swain attempted to teach us all how to be "dune jumpers"!

















We arrived at the church in time to enjoy dinner with Pastor Butler and his family before the evening service. Pastor, his wife, and their two sons have been serving together at this church for the past seven years. It is exciting to see the church growing and in the midst of a building program.





After we sang, Mr. Swain preached a message from Judges 2 on the importance of passing on our Christian heritage to the next generation. It reminded us of the great responsibility and privilege we have to do this during these present days. We were blessed to be able to minister in this church and thank Pastor Butler for changing his service to Tuesday night to accommodate
our schedule.

















As we look back to the weeks we have been "on the road," we are grateful to God for His protection and the fruit we have seen. To this point Mr. Swain has driven over 11,ooo miles! We can truly say, "To God be the glory; great things He hath done." Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we finish our journey during this month of July.
