Please let me illustrate.  (1) Slowly, but very firmly, our Sunday School numbers and worship service attendance has been rising.   In January of 2009, we averaged 142.  In October we averaged 166.   We have had several Sundays where we went above 170, even up to 190 on Homecoming Sunday, October 4.  Praise God for numbers.  (2)  We have new commitments in ministry to children. We are now bussing as many as 50 to 70 kids on Wednesday evenings and feeding them, before taking them into mission studies.  Our new AWANA program has started with intensity bringing in as many as 40 or more children each Sunday evening!  Praise God for children.  (3) We had a wonderful full week revival with great preaching by Blake Carroll, a young evangelist from Selmer, Tennessee.  We had 6 professions of faith!  Praise God for conversions.  (4) We are on a roll with new plans to build a Family Life Center.  Our team has marked off dimensions to build the largest building possible, pending practical considerations.  Praise God for progress.

Here is a call to all of the wonderful fellowship at Pleasant View Baptist Church in Clarksville…  Get on board.  Get ready.  Get excited.  We are on a journey.  We are climbing the mountain.  And we will go as high as God will lead us.   Let’s go.
