Week 13

This was the last week of FAITH but it wasn’t a typical week. Instead of each team going out on visits, all the teams went on one visit. We went to the Parsley’s house. Mr. Parsley is in his 80s and has cancer…they can’t do anything more for him except keep him comfortable. He hasn’t been able to attend church several months. Matt has made it a point to schedule a team to go by there each week. One thing they say that they miss more than anything has been going to church. They couldn’t come to church, so we brought church to them. We all loaded up in the church van and went to their house. We joined Mr. Parsley in his bedroom and sang hymns and heard the Word preached.

It was a wonderful experience to be part of, Mr. Parsley is someone that a lot of people love. Each year he buys the choir dinner at Golden Corral, because he wants to say thank you for the Christmas program. He has preached many times at the church. When his eyesight started going, he would continue to preach entire chapters…from memory!

My prayers are for him and his family. His wife was put in the hospital Friday for dehydration and a kidney infection. This morning at prayer meeting, the family was asking that the Lord take Bro Parsley home…he is in great pain. Isn’t it great when you have the assurance that someone you love is going to heaven? Please keep Bro and Mrs. Parsley and their family in your prayers.
