These are trees from our neighbor's yard.
I love autumn, especially the colors, the weather, and the harvest. When I think of "the harvest" I think of Luke 10:2--
Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
I'm so thankful for what the Lord has provided this year. I'm especially grateful for the missionaries who are called to faithfully provide the gospel to people all over the world. We had several missionaries visit our church and homes last week. What an honor to have them! To those who have never met a missionary, you may be surprised. Hollywood's portrayal of missionaries is so off-track. These folks are like family in many ways. They are driven by love and God's faithfulness. They're passionate in truth, yet never condescending in any way. Whenever we have missionaries visit, we are truly blessed, and we do our best to let them know we care.
Below are some photos of the missionaries who visited our church.
Lewis Howell and his wife and girls (not shown) are planning to go to New Zealand through World-Wide New Testament Baptist Missions.
Jon and April Flowers will be heading off to Taiwan in January. Their mission board is Baptist International Missions, Inc.
Joanna and husband Bobby Burdett are in the process of gathering support for an aviation and midwifery ministry to Madagascar.
Mike and Amanda Ball and their four children are finalizing plans to minister to Indian people in Fiji. 
Here are some friends who helped out with the many meals and accommodations for our missionaries.
