All of life is a journey, and every facet of life is just a shorter journey that leads to the next. The joys of life are whom you share the journey with. Foreigners, when they come to our land, are often confused by our common greeting "Saan ka pupunta?" (Where are you going?) They do not understand we are not being nosey, but rather expressing a desire to make a decision of companionship — we want to join them. For us the joy of the journey is in the companionship. I live a preacher’s dream in being your Pastor on the journey of life. What a joy and privilege to serve a people who so love God, so love His word, and so desire to fulfill the great commission. We have before us a world that needs Christ. Everything we have learned on the journey together thus far, everything we have become, everything we have received, has prepared us for the next step in this journey of life. Our nation lays open before us, Asia lays before us, the world lays before us. Let us continue to take the good news of the gospel to a hurting world. We have just BEGUN!!!!   Pastor David E. Sumrall
