VBS Worker Thank You
A great big "thank you" is extended to all the ranch hands at Saddle Ridge Ranch during this year's VBS. God moved in a mighty way among the guests at the ranch and Church vans had to run double routes on several days. The total enrollment was 299 with 30 professions of faith. Teachers, secretaries, cooks, recreation leaders, and many others shared their time and talents in this wonderful outreach effort. God is so good!
THANK YOU!

I grew up in Arlington, Texas and graduated from Lamar High School in 1986. I attended Baylor University in Waco, Texas, where I received a bachelor of arts in business administration. During my time at Baylor I responded to God's call on my life in the area of christian education. I attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, where I received a Master of Arts in Religious Education. I have served churches in Derby, Kansas, Midland, Texas, and Vernon, Texas before coming to Rockport in 2011. My wife Laura and I met on the very first day at Baylor. We started dating our senior year and were married in 1993. Laura and I have a daughter Meredith and a son Drew.
I enjoy relaxing at home with my family, playing games (my wife likes finding new and unusual games from other countries), computers, and woodworking. I love the Cowboys and the Baylor Bears. I enjoy Dr. Pepper and Blue Bell ice cream. Now that I have moved to Rockport, I am learning to fish.
We had a very eventful day today. We, of course, had the VBS day 2 and the kids were very excited and they brought school supplies for the kids in Brazil. They even brought some friends along. We had a total of 65 today but they added 9 new students. Dr. Edwards played Pharoh today. We are teaching the Moses story in case you didn't know. When VBS ended we traveled to New Boston and met up with the George West team that is doing construction for a Spanish church. We also visited the Western Connecticut Baptist Association building. At each place we had a prayer meeting in encourage the work in New England. We then traveled to Waterbury and visited with the pastor that works in the downtown area and works a lot with the street people in Waterbury. He also has a food pantry. We had a prayer meeting with him also. It is very discouraging to be in the New England area where our country was founded and see the lack of Christianity here. There are a lot of old church buildings that were started in the early 1700's, but yet are empty. There is a sense of religion in New England, but not a sense of Christianity. So the fields are "white with harvest". The missionaries really need our prayers. Until tomorrow...
