Flat Creek Baptist Church, October 5, 2014

Jaime Oestreich, Ron Lusk, Brent Inman and I had a wonderful day yesterday, October 5,  worshipping and sharing about Sustainable Food Production with the folks at Flat Creek Baptist Church. This little congregation of about 50 souls contributes mightily to our work in Haiti. Their contributions per year equals the building of 3 full sized shade houses. Our hearts were touched by their dedication to missions. In addition we brought back over 300 diapers for Haiti made by several area churches and an automobile contributed to Righteous Rides. They are located about 7 miles south of Sedalia. Almost forgot to mention they have already exceeded their offering goal for Missouri Baptist Missions which was a significant goal.
