Blessings in Juneau, Alaska!

02/06/2011 by David Canedy

Today is the final day of our two weeks in Juneau, Alaska.  Nancy, Emily and I had the blessing of visiting the folk at Northland Bible Church who are planting a new church.  What a thrill is was to preach, visit, and encourage these folk!  Believe it or not, it stayed between 20-45 degrees while were here.  I guess we had to come to Alaska to miss the big snow storm and bitter cold!  It is beautiful here to see the ocean, mountains, and glaciers.  But the biggest blessing of the week, was the privilege of leading a 75 year old man to the Lord!


Great is the Lord and Greatly to be Praised!

Nancy and I have so much for which to praise the Lord as we begin this new phase of our life and ministry.  It has been with mixed emotion, yet great confidence in the Lord and His leading that I resigned the pastorate of nine years at Marquette Manor Baptist Church to accept God’s call to serve with Baptist World Mission. 


Friends at MMBC - "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you."

On my final Sunday at Marquette I preached from Philippians 1, in part on Paul's thanksfulness for the church at Philippi.  That certainly reflects our heart for our church family at Marquette.  As we begin our missionary travels I have many times experienced Paul's expression in Philippians 1:3 - "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you."

The following note was printed in the church bulletin, but in case someone missed it and just for the record I want to post it here.


"Brethren, Pray for Us"

As we begin our new ministry we are reminded of the need of prayer and the need for the presence and power of our Savior to enable us in our service for Him.  And so, we ask you as Paul did the Thessalonicans, "Brethren, pray for us."  ( I Thess 5:25).
