Amber Spence recently returned from her trip with Northland’s Team China. She had the opportunity to teach English to several students. While there were special restrictions placed on them by the government, the Lord allowed her to minister to a number of girls. We heard that after her return, one of her students called her home in Mentor at 3 am not realizing there was a difference in time. Amber is currently raising support to minister as a short term missionary to Germany with GFA Missions.
BRAPSIS2 — A Revised Baptist Acrostic
“Note that the acrostic does not assert that Baptists have only two offices. … Historically, however, some Baptists adopted the Reformed belief in ruling elders who are distinct from the pastoral office.

“A 12-person committee representing the world’s largest group of planetary scientists on Thursday threw its support behind a new planet-defintion proposal that would increase the tally of planets in our solar system to 12. More dissent emerged, too, from several prominent planet experts.”
