Blessed Hope Baptist Church

Jasonville, Indiana
Pastor Jerry Ross

We received a warm welcome back into Indiana by the people of Blessed Hope Baptist Church. Many Crown graduates and students have come from this church and their ministry such as Bethany Ross, Mr. and Mrs. Derrek Lowen. Rebekah Swaby graduated from their Christian high school. Bro. Swain brought an encouraging message on the ministry of reconciliation and many responded to the preaching of God's Word.

Beth Inskeep and her Mother were able to come to the service. Beth is a current Crown student and is also the Swains' secretary. We enjoyed spening time with her and her new fiance, Jake. Also while here, we met Rebekah Swaby's sister and six week old neice. Rebekah is traveling in Cambodia as a New Testament Church Pioneer and has not yet met her new neice.

We ask that everyone pray for Pastor Jerry Ross. He was taken to the hospital on Sunday morning due to severe pain. Pastor Ross has been a trememdous influence in the lives of many teenagers and young people across the country and has been a true pastor to his church. The church family has a heavy burden to carry while their pastor is away. Please be in prayer for him, his family, and the church.

Though the pastor was not at the service, we enjoyed our time with the people of Blessed Hope. The assistant Pastor, Brother Ryser, was gracious to us while here. Thank you, Brother Ryser, for all your help and kindess. Thank you also to the ladies of the church who provided a wonderful Mexican meal and prepared for our stay in the mission house.
