Sciotoville, Ohio
Berean Baptist Church warmly welcomed us with a delicious meal, but the meal wasn't just for us - it was for their new pastor! The parsonage was not quite ready for Pastor Waggoner and his family, so the church members cooked dinner for them everyday since their arrival on Thursday. 
The service was a great blessing. It was thrilling to see a congregation who cared so much for their new pastor that they went out of their way to make him feel welcome. Mrs. Swain rejoiced in seeing Ruth Thomas who so graciously hosted the Swains at her home the year before. The meeting was filled with new comers this evening: the new pastor; our group; and the Woodring family, missionaries to Vietnam. Kayla Woodring was happy to be in the states to spend time with her grandparents and to be in church to meet us! Leaving greatly encouraged, we thank God for the meetings He appointed us to be in.
