Lighthouse Church of the Nazarene Moravia, Iowa

Well again God has lead us to some of the nicest brother's and sister's.  Both services today were spent at the Lighthouse church of Nazarene in Moravia.  This morning we  went into the Sunday School class of the pastors (they chose it for us...hahahah) Class was good, I cried, but for some of you, you will know that is not unusal, cause I do that alot when I an at church.  Anyway, for all our friends that we have met and all our family and home church's in Ohio and Oklahoma we ALL need to pray for one another, because all over we have brother's and sister's in other places that need our prayers.  Pastor Terry Chapman today said something that is very true..."People don't care how much you know UNTIL they know how much you care."  That is so true, and we should always remember that no matter what church we are in as long as the Lord, God Almighty is our Father and we believe in a resurrected Savior, then we are ALL brother and sister's and we should be able to step in and feel just like we are at our home church.  Tonight they had a testimony service and we LOVE those, not because we have the opportunity to praise God for ALL He has done for us but because we get to hear all the things that God has done for my brother's and sister's because no matter where we live we ALL need God's help to survive this world and we all need all the encouragement we can get.  Again, we enjoyed ourselves and even the over 60 year's old group invited us to stay for snacks after service, even though we weren't over 60 years old.  That was a wonderful fellowship.... them over 60's people can cook......  again thank you again for making us feel welcome..... we will keep praying.  Oh yeah, we heard of another answered prayer while we were there a 9year old girl had fallen off of a horse today and they were thinking they were going to have to take her to DesMoines to the hospital.  We had prayer for her and another man for surgery.(We don't need their names, God knows every hair on their heads)  We prayed for them and when we were talking to the pastor and his wife after service a lady came up and told us that 6:20pm  (just as we were praying) the doctor's came in and told them that she has a concussion but that she will NOT have to go to DesMoines, and that she would be ok.... Again, God is on the throne and He is still listening to our prayers.  Praise God!!!!
God bless you,
