On October 30th we were in Grand Prairie, TX at Fellowship of Joy with Pastor Scott Camp. We got to know Pastor Camp a couple of years ago when he was the dean of students at SAGU. Also, I got to know him personally because he used to come into my Starbucks in Waxahachie (where I work) every morning to get a French Press of coffee. We played a song that we wrote and did a missions window in both of the morning services. In the 2nd service I really felt led to give the testimony of how we had been able to confirm that God was sending us to England as missionaries. Then Pastor Camp and resident evangelist Kevin Peterson came up to pray for us along with their wives. The rest of the congregation also prayed for us.
It was actually ironic that Kevin Peterson was there because he usually is preaching in other churches each week but on this particular week he was preaching at FOJ. Incredibly, he and his wife felt a call to London, England several years ago but were not able to go because the British Assemblies of God was not open to receiving missionaries from the U.S. We feel a definite connection with this couple for this reason and we were very pleased when we found out they were there. Brother Peterson delivered a powerful message about the valley of dry bones in Ezekiel and both Meredith and I felt especially challenged to have great faith even in the midst of dead situations!
