My brother and I used to run around the house with anything that even closely resembled a sword yelling “On Guard!” This was the gentlemanly way of telling the other person to pay attention because the battle was about to begin. In the battle that we fight with the devil we never hear those words. Satan never warns us to be prepared before he attacks. The apostle Peter warns us to be on the alert because the devil is like a prowling lion, seeking someone to devour.
It has been very exciting to see how much God has blessed the church these last few months. At the same time this reminded me that we need to be prepared for the battle to come. I can't imagine Satan allowing this ministry to grow unopposed.

New Members, New Leaders, and New Ministries
God is doing good things at Franconia Baptist Church. I wanted to share with everyone that in the last few weeks he has brought new members, new leaders, and new ministries to our church.
To be honest it hasn't been the easiest thing for me to learn patience, to wait on God's timing. It sure is exciting to a sometimes impatient person when the timing is right and things start happening.
Not only is God brining new people to be members of the church, He is identifying biblicall-sound, spiritually-mature people who see the vision of what God can do with this strategically located church. If you go back to the earliest posts in this blog you will find that specific thing as a prayer request. Praise Him for answering prayer!
Some of the new ministries that we are thinking about are: Vacation Bible School, Small Groups, and some Outreach/Evangelism opportunities.
We need your continued prayers for Franconia Baptist Church as we ask God to finish bringing it back to life.
