A we have traveled a ll over Ohio i iting our churche , our hearts have been n1oved, not by the building , though 01ne of tho e are out tanding indeed, but by the wonderful individua l and fa ,nilie that make up the e congre– gation . Fir t_ \Ve have bee11 deeply moved, not only by the commi tment of pa tor , but al o of their wive and ded icated children. We often wi tne the children participat ing in rnu ic or other activi ti e in the local church. We vi it \vith pa tors who hare the joy of telling u about their children who are either in the mini try or tudying for that purpo e. We have al o en ed the burden ome have a they endeavor to erve the Lord · 01neti1ne with personal heartache known on ly within the circle of their own fami ly. We are deeply 1noved by the courage and com1nitment of the fan1 ilie mini tering to fa n1ilie . It ha been an out tanding honor and pri vilege to be in the hon1e of n1any familie of congrega– tion for both meal and lodging and be able to Ii ten to their te tirnonie ; a ll unique, di fferent and very pecial. Our joy and crown reache it highe t level when they hare with u their oul– wi nning experiences and we can sense the exci tement they have a they eek to reach the lo t fo r Je us Chri t. They indeed have a love 1narked by giving, not by getti ng. Then they turn to the ministry of the church planting coordinator. They want to kno\v how they can fit in what they can do, where their prayer hould be di rected, and where their givi ng hould someday be focused. Recent ly after an evening ervice, two familie came forward and offered their per onal gifts and talents for the church planting ministry.
