They invited me to come and give a conference about good stewardship. In August my family and I spent a week with them. On Thursday evening the men and women were in separate groups, my wife and I both shared from the Bible this night. Friday, Saturday and Sunday I shared and encouraged the church in what the Bible says about being good stewards of our time, gifts, money and bodies.
