This was a fitting final service to a week filled with divine providence. Each day I ‘ve tried to keep you abreast of how God has been supernaturally running ahead of us and we have been running to keep up. Tonight we welcomed Pastor Iraj from the First Ir@nian Baptist Church of Dallas. Before he told his story, he led us in a couple of F@rsi praise songs. That meant we sang in three languages tonight instead of our usual two. I joked that maybe we should change the name of our church, not to one of the trendy names like the Rock or the River, but to Rosetta Stone.
Pastor Iraj once again confirmed the value of what we are doing to provide scripture for the many F@rsi speakers that are desperate for them. A missionary from another agency who lived for years in Ir@n was also present tonight and echoed the same need for the scriptures. Jamie is a Christar missionary who spend several years in another country near Ir@n and is now preparing to work with F@rsi speakers in yet another country was present tonight along with an Armenian brother, born in Tehr@n who was moved to tears by what he saw, heard and experienced. Steve Coffey later encouraged us from 1Corinthians 15 to know that our work in the Lord is not in vain.
This was the final service, but not the end of the Bible Conference. We are a little over halfway there with both scripture assembly and offering. Everyone has been wonderful to help, but the task is great. After the service there were probably 500 or more working on the assembly line and much was getting accomplished. However, we need this continued effort all day tomorrow, into the night and maybe even most of the day on Friday. Keeping checking the front page of www.kcbt.org to see where we stand. Bring someone and help out anytime tomorrow or tomorrow evening. I’m tired and know many of you are, too, but let’s press on just a few more hours.

Join me each day as I share what's bouncing around in my head and heart. I wish I had time to sit down with each of you over a good cup of coffee, but at least we can thank God for blogs! Oh! I'll take the coffee, too, whenever I can!
