Grace Baptist of Fernley



This church was planted in 2009 by friends, Pastor Rick and Melanie Lynn.  They have told us that the Lord has far bypassed what they expected during the first few months.  It was thrilling, to say the least, to be in this church and see first hand what the Lord is doing.
 
                                

One of the things we especially admire about the Lynns is their desire to give God the glory and honor for all He is doing in the ministry He has called them to.  In a day and age where men grab for the attention by throwing out numbers and touting their own successes we have been refreshed these past few days by the consistent glorification of God. 

The two pictures above are their ministry buildings.  They rented a store front in a small strip mall.  Just two weeks before their first service the owner came by to see how things were coming along and asked what they were planning for children's ministry, he then offered this store front.   It also functions very well for fellowships after church. 


The people here were a tremendous blessing to us.  And we are leaving here extremely encouraged in the Lord!  Pastor Lynn challenged them to give generously in the love offering to us and we are dumbfounded at how generously they gave.  The kids had been taking up an offering for our kids and they are all planning out what they will be doing with their windfall!

Thank you all for praying for this meeting.  Our presentation went very well.  Scott preached the evening service.  And we pray that the Lord was able to use us to further the cause of worldwide missions.

Please be in prayer for our next meeting in Chadron, Nebraska.  We will once again be with friends from Bible College and we are looking forward to the meeting.
