I should let everyone know that my profile is not correct anymore. I have a new grandson as of last December. Things are going well at the church except for a few growing pains which is normal. We are building a new Fellowship Hall if we can get the contractor to pour the concrete! We had another family join a couple of weeks ago and now the church is full of kids. It does my heart well to see all of them because if Jesus doesnt come back soon they will be the church! I will blog more when I have more to say. Seeya!

I cant believe how long its been since I've been on here. I doubt anyone is still reading! Just in case you are heres what has happened in the last year. The church has grown numerically and spiritually! There are a number of young families that have joined and the church is full of childrens laughter. we have grown so much that we are building a new fellowship hall. When we have "Eatin Meetin" people are all over the place. In the Sunday School rooms, eating outside on tailgates. It  really hampers the fellowship. They should be pouring concrete next week for the slab and in a short while we can all eat together. Pray that its done before VBS!

Its been a great summer at Gum Springs this year! We had a number of salvations from camp and one from church services! We will be having baptism services the 2nd week of September and we are excited! Thats what God left the church here to do. We had a back to school fellowship at church this evening and it was great to hear the laughter of children in the auditorium. The grownups sat in the fellowship hall and had a great time. God has resurrected the church and filled it with the Holy Spirit! Its a joy to attend.

Well God is continuing to bless us at Gum Springs!!!We had another great Sunday at church! Attendance was up again for the 5th straight week. The spirit was so sweet that there were people in the church 30 minutes after service! We just didnt want to stop having fellowship! I believe God has great plans for us and that the congregation believes that too. With God leading us how can we fail! We serve a great and mighty God!!!

What a great Sunday again!!God is really moving at Gum Springs Missionary Baptist Church! We had another family join the church today. Attendance was 40. Last week was 52! Considering we had 11 when we started,I'm pretty excited! Our low attendance for July was 34. It was a busy month but God really blessed us. We had 3 salvations and 1 rededication from camp this month. We already had a salvation in regular service so that makes 4 in one month! It's amazing to me to watch God at work and to know that He loves us so much that he sent His son to redeem us. No telling whats ahead for us but we will cling to the cross and He will pull us thru!

Are you ready for the Rapture? Its too bad when we have been conditioned to ignore the signs that the Rapture is imminent. We believe that its going to happen just not right now. Everyone likes to quote the scripture that says we cannot know the hour or the day. While that is true if you will read the entire scripture it commands us to know the season. Read the parable of the fig tree. Lets not ignore the signs that God said he would provide. Look up your redemption draweth nigh!!

well i do have a lot of little things to report. First I guess you have noticed that we have not added any new sermons to the webpage. There are a number of reasons for that beginning with computer malfunction and ending with pure laziness! It will be back and hopefully you will be inspired by it. It still amazes me how many hits we get on the webpage and I would once again like to apologize for the problems. On to better news....God provided the way for 23 people to attend camp this year! If you stop and think that only 5 years ago there were only 9 in the entire church...attendence has been up some with morning worship averaging in the mid thirties the last couple of weeks.....had VBS last week and it was a success with about 50 kids attending.....softball team is still searching for its first victory this week but the fellowship has been great! There is a sound of abundance of rain at Gum Springs!!!
