Visited By India's Finest

Yesterday, FBC was visited by Mr. & Mrs. K.M. Johns, a couple who have been ministering to India for over 30 years. They have come to visit the U.S. and churches in the American Baptist denomination.

They gave a greeting from our brothers and sisters in Christ from India. They also spoke to our Sunday school classes. Then they taught the children during a portion of the service. Mr. Johns shared his personal testimony as to how his father had died while he was very young. This led to a series of events which brought him to an orphanage. Because of a missionary sent from America years ago, Mr. Johns received Christ. Today Mr. and Mrs. Johns teach children about Christ and do many other things as well for our Lord's Kingdom.

After all was said and done, they went out of their way to meet the Scott City Christian School kids. The reason was simple. The SCCS raised $500.00 for the couple while collecting "change" over a period of about six months. This made a big impression on the missionary couple. When all was said and done, I think my family will be left with the bigger impression.
