The Bread of Life Mission Plant Minute
January 2008
A monthly article about Bread of Life,
the Lutheran mission plant in
Scott County, Kentucky.
December 17 -- December is an exciting month for us at Bread of Life. Yesterday, we witnessed our first adult baptism at our fledgling congregation. We thank the Lord that He is using us to join people to Christ, as He did in that baptism.
Also, December marks the anniversary of a very special event at Bread of Life. On Christmas Eve, one year ago, we held our first service at the Best Western in Georgetown. There were many questions at that time. Would the Best Western get mad at us for doing a candlelight service? (We never told them we were going to do this.) Would we set off the fire alarm when we blew out our candles? Would more families show up? We were four families planning to do this, and we had advertised the service to the community.
In all, fifty-five people showed up; many new faces were there, many of whom have become regular members of Bread of Life. The fire alarms did not go off, and the hotel did not care about our candles. We were very blessed.
These blessings have continued. Over the past year, our little group of twelve people has more than quadrupled. We have gone from four households to twenty. We now have a storefront to act as a “base” for our ministry. God has richly blessed us, and for this we thank Him.
