New River Baptist

I'm preaching the 11am & 6pm worship services today at New River Baptist Church, 16703 SW 144th Ave., Brooker, FL. Pastor Jason Reid is away for a holiday rest.

Video Moving Forward

Our 2004 Ghana mission trip video is making progress! We held an interview session with four of the team members last Friday night. The session took about 5 hours but went very well. We will conduct more interviews tonight and hopefully we will complete them in the next two weeks. We will then be able to proceed with the rest of the project. I'm still praying that we will have a completed product by the first of the year even though the holiday season will slow things up.

Another article about the trip appeared in last Saturday's (November 20th) edition of the Lake City Reporter; however, the story is not in their online version.

New Stuff Comin'

It has been a while since I've made a post on this site. It has been a busy time for me working on some new & cool stuff for the website.

• I have began adding photos from the 2004 Ghana mission trip to my website www.jamescroft.org. I have only begun and there will be many more over the next week or two.
• I've also been working on adding audio and video clips to the site.
• Kristie Fletcher has started watching our Africa videos and we will soon begin production of our presentation video.
• A story on our mission trip should appear this week in an edition of the Lake City Reporter.

I'll update this site as all of these things are updated.

Ghana Story in Local Newspapers

The Bradford County Telegraph has a story about our 2004 Ghana Mission Trip. Here is a link to the online version of the story: http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=13286107&BRD=2150&PAG=461&dept_id=411073&rfi=6.

The Baker County Standard also carried the story and the online version is here http://www.bcstandard.com/news/2004/1104/Front_Page/003.html.

The Baker County Press also carried three photos with a caption but it is not available online.

Praise God for Democracy

I praise the Lord that I live in a country where citizens have a voice. I praise the Lord for the citizens that took their responsibility seriously and voted in our general election. I praise the Lord that I live in a country where this process takes place without military force, mass revolts or loss of life.

Now that the election is over we must all come together and pray for our president. We should also pray not only for all of the winners in the election, but also for those who gave their all in their race even though they were not successfull. I personally know how it feels to win an election and how badly it hurts to lose an election, so please pray for all of the candidates and their families. Let's also make a daily effort to pray for our leaders to have wisdom, compassion, and humility as they make decisions that impact US citizens and the rest of the world. Let's also pray that if they do not know Jesus Christ as Lord & Savior that the Holy Spirit will convict them of that need. Let's pray for God's perfect will for our country and leaders!

Here is an interesting website about praying for our president and leaders: http://www.presidentialprayerteam.org/.

Election Day

This is the day that United States voters will elect the man that will serve as President for the next four years. I hope that every eligible citizen will take this responsibility seriously and let their voice be heard by voting. I pray that the result will reflect God’s perfect will for our nation.
