This morning we get to catch up with the husband and wife team of Jason and Christy Carmean.

They served as missionaries in the Cameroon Africa for many years and now Jason leads missions for our Fellowship in the entire continent of Africa. I look forward to hearing Jason share God’s word with us today in the context of what the Lord is doing among our brothers and sisters in Christ in the African Church. Also a “love offering” basket will be in the lobby if you would like to bless them financially as a simple thank you gift for all they do for the Lord’s work.
