Pastor Dan Hemmes
On our way to Manton Baptist Church we passed a sign for Singing Pines Baptist Camp. We wondered if it might belong to this church, and our suspicions were confirmed when we arrived and met Pastor Hemmes. He shared with us how God had blessed with seventy-six acres of property in an area with a beautiful landscape. The church family has been developing this property over the years and now have two large multiuse buildings. They hope to build cabins soon.
Many church members said they were encouraged by our singing, Mr. Swain's preaching, and viewing the "Take the High Road" video. We were encouraged by those we met as well. There were many children in the church (some were the pastor's grandchildren). Four-year-old Andrea wanted each of us to hold her after the service and we were happy to!
This is the home church of Victoria Happle, a former Crown student. Victoria's parents asked us that we keep her in our prayers as she has been challenged with some health problems. Please pray for her as well as for us as we finish our last meetings.
