The Shumaker Family's Blog

Thanks so much for all those who prayed for the 10^th anniversary service of Living Water Baptist Church.  We were praying for 1,000 people but came up a little short, at around 900 people coming.  We are in no way disappointed, as God was glorified on this wonderful day. 

I was very touched by the efforts of the members.  It isn’t an easy task to greet, welcome, and feed 900 in Burkina Faso, but they did it with great success.  Some of the women and youth came on Friday to the church and didn’t go home until Sunday evening. 

Pastor Justin wanted to give all of the pastors that have been sent out of the church a special plaque.  Much to my surprise, the church gave me one too.  I have been blessed and honored to pastor LWBC for the last 10 years.  As mentioned in another blog post, we are in transition.  We are leaving this church in order to plant new church as soon as possible.

I unfortunately lost most of my pictures but I will post a couple that I still do have.

We had around 250 children present.

The woman worked very hard.
