GREAT DAY AT HIGHWAY BAPTIST CHURCH - Dayton, Ohio - March 22, 2014

We traveled about 2.5 hours this past Saturday to Dayton, Ohio to be with Highway Baptist Church on Sunday.  My friend Cliff Parks started this church almost ten years ago.  He was in evangelism for a number of years then God called him to start the church.  I preached their first anniversary back in 2006 and it was good to be there again.  We enjoyed a great time of fellowship with Bro. Parks and his family on Saturday night and Sunday night and then enjoyed a church fellowship after the morning service.  The Lord gave us three good services on Sunday with a sweet spirit and a good response to the preaching.

The story of how and where God started this church is pretty neat.  I remember when Bro. Parks shared with me how God had put this on his heart and he had a burden to reach one of the busiest areas in the country - at the intersection of Interstates 70 and 75.  I had the privilege to go with him and look at several buildings and then God opened the door for the building where they continue to meet today.

There are several signs around the church - many with the 'highway theme'.  I have uploaded them on a separate post.
