Acts 5:28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.
They filled their city, Jerusalem, with their doctrine. I want our church to share the gospel with everyone every where we go. We need to be very careful to share the truth with everyone that we can.
Not only do we want to fill our city but the entire world with the truth about the Lord Jesus Christ.
I just the following note from Brother Tony Howeth:
Just an update
got off the phone with the dr’s office for Ethan
the top part of the leg is not responding the way they would have liked.
He will go back into surgery Wednesday
thanks for praying
Bro. Tony
So I ask you to please be in prayer for Ethan and also for all the expenses that are being incurred!
Priorities, Decisions & Balance–Distractions and Focus
Do you desire to serve the Lord but find that many distractions in your life shift your focus away from Him? Do you have a difficult time wanting to know God better but find that there’s not much time to do so? When you’re with family and friends who don’t know Christ, do you find yourself distracted by their priorities?
Join us at Vision Baptist Church on Saturday, March 6th from 9AM to 1PM as we discuss the answers to some of the following questions:
–How do I keep from focusing on my needs, concerns, and ambitions and allow God to use me?
–With all the worldly and even with business distractions, how do I find time to think about the things of God and the peace that God gives?
–How can pastors believe that my life should revolve around God when I do not have the luxury of the time a pastor has?
–How do you love God when your life is filled with unsaved family, friends, coworkers, etc?
Come hear from the personal experience of John Pearson, a businessman from our church, on how he has focused on Christ and avoided distractions. Hear what God’s word says about balance from Austin Gardner our pastor. Come with questions.

Ouagadougou, February 4, 2010
Greetings in the name of our beloved Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We hope that God is working in your lives. Thank you so much for your support and prayers. It is a blessing to see how God is workingin Burkina Faso.
This month Pastor Austin Gardner from the US was visiting us with two other brothers. Thanks to God they were moments of blessing for the couples of the church. One of the couples were reconciled after a long time apart. They have decided to work on their marriage again!
We celebrated the fifth anniversary of the church in Tengandogo by the grace of God. We had 400 visitors and 4 accepted Christ as their personal Savior. Amen! I want to share with you a great material blessing that God has given us through a group of missionaries. They have given us a motorcyle which has made life so much easier for us here! Also, the two men who came with Pastor Gardner gave us cell phones. We are very thankful to them and our good God.
The Lord has allowed me to preach for a few minutes in French! For me it is a great blessing as I see His hand in my life and the life of my wife. She also taught the young ladies in French!
We are happy with what has happened this month of January. We love you all. Please recieve our warmest greetings and may the grace of God continue in your lives.
Prayer Requests:
• For Bro. Keith Shumaker (the veteran missionary we work with) as he travels to the U.S.
• For the anniversary of the Living Water Baptist Church this month on the 7th.
• That God would continue helping us to learn French
• For Bro. Alfonso and his marriage
• That God would raise up more laborers
• For those who have recently received Christ
• That the families would practice what God sowed in their hearts
• For the missionaries of the church: Pastor Salif, Mamdou, Tali, and Konate
