From the Pastor

It is always good to be in church with my church

family. As you read this, we will have been in India for

a day or two. (We will probably still be trying to decide

if it is day or night.) Thank you for all your prayers and

words of encouragement prior to us leaving.

We have had a wonderful 2014 and concluded the final Sunday of the

year no differently. We are doing well on our Lottie Moon Christmas

offering. We helped several families with Christmas presents and

food. We also added to our church family through the Christmas

season. This Sunday we welcomed Chelsea Young, Vanessa and

Manuel Flores to our fellowship.

Make sure to be involved in ministry and discipleship opportunities

in the new year! I'm looking forward to seeing what the Lord has in

store for IBC.

See you soon!

Bro. Tommy
