mid-week encouragement

we have been blessed for about the past 3 weeks to have this man here with us in florence.

jim woodroof
he is the father of our director, david woodroof, and he was a part of the planning and teaching during our avanti training in searcy last august. we got to know him really well during those 2 weeks, and i can honestly say i don't think i have ever met someone who truly loves jesus like this man.

he made such an impact on me as a christian and i am so thankful for everything he taught us. every time we heard him speak we sat forward on the edge of our seats and soaked up every word like a sponge. he is so genuine and tender-hearted and it has been wonderful having him here these few weeks. this sunday was the first sunday he preached at florence because he has been in high demand at other churches all over italy. i'm happy to say though that we get to hear him again this sunday too as he continues his lesson on john 12:24-25.

anyway, a ton of his sermons are on this website and if you need some encouragement that "this world is not our home" you will really feel better after listening to some of these.

happy second to last week of may, the summer is almost here!
