Our final visits were in Richmond, VA and Danville, VA. We were invited by Bill Cross, associate pastor at
Grace Bible Church of Richmond, to a meeting with the missions team. TMS grad Rick Zaman serves as pastor-teacher at GBC. We were able to share with them what the Lord is doing with GraceLife London to spread the Gospel to England. The men were encouraged by the ministry of GLL and we left even more encouraged as they prayed for us and shared their excitement with us for what the Lord is doing.
Grace Bible Church has been an immense blessing to Adam's family over the past few years. Two of his brothers and his sister-in-law were benefits of fellowship with the saints and the biblical preaching and teaching at GBC. The congregation is full of people who love Christ and love His people. We praise the Lord for this church and their faithfulness to living out their relationship with Christ.
In Danville, VA, Adam had a was able to sit down over lunch with Seth Lackey, the children and family pastor of
Faith Memorial Baptist Church. FMBC has Daniel Lackey as its senior pastor. Seth and Adam were able to speak about the spiritual condition of the Danville/Pittsylvania County community and how the Lord is using FMBC in this area.
Danville has
one of the highest crime rates in Virginia while also having over 200 churches in its population of 43,000. It is called "The City of Churches" as it has more churches per square mile than any other city in Virginia according to
Forbes. We are grateful to hear that the Gospel is being preached through this local church in this particular area.
