Grace Baptist Church

Eaton Rapids, Michigan
Pastor Mark Michalcewicz
















Today we left Indiana and entered Michigan again where we will complete our meetings for the summer. This was our final drive along Lake Michigan, and we made a brief stop for a last look at the sand dunes and lake.
















It was a joy to meet Pastor Michalcewicz's family and his church members who greeted us with a delicious meal before the service. Pastor Michalcewicz began having Bible studies in this community six years ago as an outrach of Calvary Baptist Church of Charlotte, Michigan. (Pastor Booth of CBC is the father of Crown student Andrew Booth and alumnus Anna Ruwersma.) The Lord has blessed this ministry greatly and has made it possible for them to move into a nice building as of last January. They had previously been meeting in a rented school building and are very thankful for their new facility.





Pastor Michalcewicz was encouraged about the good turnout for this evening's service! We had the privilege of being the first college tour group to minister in this church, and everyone made us feel so welcome. After Krystal sang "Here is Love," we found that this is a familiar hymn here. This song has been and continues to be a great blessing wherever we go.





Thank you to Pastor Michalcewicz and family, to the Steeles, and to the Dodges for sharing your homes with us. We truly were blessed by being in this place!
