Here we are again in Sweet Home Alabama, our home away from home. Our first stop was Centre near the Georgia border. We were with Pastor Shane and Dava Swafford and their amazing church family. They pastor Grace Pointe Church of God in this quaint town of Centre, AL. We had a blessed time on Sunday morning and Sunday night with their sweet congregation. Pastor Shane had to leave after the Sunday night service and drive 8 hours to Cincinnati, Ohio to speak at a funeral for a man from his church. I volunteered to travel with him to help him with the driving. We drove through the night and arrived at 4am! Then with a few hours of sleep we made it to the funeral. After the services we headed back to Alabama through amazing thunderstorms and tornado warnings all around us. Glenda and Anna stayed with the RV back at the church and hunkered down and waited out the storm that stirred up in and around Centre. We made it back safe and the tornados stayed away from us all. We love Pastor Shane and Dava and their hearts for reaching lives for Christ. They also have twin boys, Sam and Seth that are such great guys! They are the same age as Anna and are very identical.
These Bamese folks are the bomb! We so enjoyed our time here with everyone. Thank you Grace Pointe for a wonderful weekend of ministry, fellowship and for all your kindness!
