The
Central Illinois Division would like to thank the First Christian
Church in
Farmer
City
for inviting us in and serving us a wonderful meal! Pat Smith and
his family have been with us since we started our division and we
are so blessed by their hospitality. We were treated with pork
chop sandwiches that people are still talking about,
Texas
style beans and potato salad. Then it was on to dessert with
brownies and ice cream. WOW! Thank you so much.
Our
Director Carl Parks gave his testimony through which one young
lady gave her life to Christ and three people rededicated there
lives. Amen!
