Dear Friends,
After just over 2 years we spent our last Sunday at Ayers Road Baptist Church in
Macon, GA It was an emotional day. Austin Tucker, his wife and 2 year old
daughter were in town from Dunellon, FL Where he is youth pastor. The business
meeting is a formality, I would imagine that next Sunday the church will issue a
unanimous call to Brother Tucker and his family. Unless something unforeseen
happens between now and then he will certainly accept. We are excited about this
as are the Tuckers and the Church.
As I write this Bob Buckley, Billy Butt and Rodney McKenzie are in route from
Ambassador Baptist Church in Fredrick, MD to move our trailer. I pick up a 16'
penske truck tomorrow morning we will spend Monday getting ready to go and head
out for VA early Tuesday morning. Please pray seriously with us that we will get
up there safely, get settled in quickly and get involved in the work at hand.
I am sure I will not be able to access email again until Thursday or Friday.
When I am able to do so I will e mail you and let you know the status of things.
Thanks for praying,
David, Carmen & Kids

Dear Praying friends,
Sorry for the delay in letting you know we arrived in VA safely but as of this
point our only internet access is a wireless connection in the parking lot of a
hotel 45 minutes away. we hope to have that fixed in the next few days.
We did arrive safely, late on Tuesday, there are pictures on our website of the
caravan of vehicles and the moving crew. We are grateful to the men who came to
move us. Our first Sunday went pretty well, with 8 in Sunday School 14 in the AM
Service and 13 in the PM (including our 5 in all of these numbers) there is much
to be done and we are digging in and starting to work. Lord willing in a week or
so we will have pictures of the area on our website so keep checking.
In a related note, Yesterday Ayers Road Baptist Church issued a 100% call to
Brother Austin Tucker, who is the Youth Pastor at Riverland Baptist Church in
Dunellon, FL and a graduate of Landmark Baptist College. He has accepted the
call and will be moving soon, please keep all of them in your prayers.
Thanks for praying,
David, Carmen and kids
