Pastor Don Sumpter

Tuesday and Wednesday

June 9 and 10, 2009

On Tuesday we drove from Salem to Richmond in Virginia. We were met by James and Joy Sumpter, 2009 graduates of Crown College. It was so nice to see them. Bro. Kyle and Sarah really enjoyed their visit with them.  

Tuesday evening we were given the opportunity to go out on visitation. We knocked doors and told those in the community of the Vacation Bible school that starts in two weeks. We enjoyed spending time with the whole Sumpter family. They are a joy to be around and were a blessing to us.

On Wednesday we were able to spend the day with Mrs. Sumpter and Joy, and had a great time of fellowship. That evening in the service we had the opportunity to sing during prelude, and in the service. Brother Kyle preached a message on contentment, and how our contentment can't be in anything else but Christ. At the end of the service we showed the college video. Many church members told us afterwards that they had supported the college, but had never been there. They were very happy to see what the Lord has done and is doing in the college. We would like to thank James and Joy Sumpter for allowing us to stay in the their apartment. Also we would like to thank Pastor and Mrs. Sumpter for their hospitality, and accomodations. Thank you Mrs. Sumpter for the wonderful home cooked meals! May God truly bless Landmark Baptist Church in a special way.
