Visit to Faith Wesleyan Church

Faith Wesleyan was the church my dad pastored 20 years ago in Greensboro North Carolina. I attended this church from the time i was born until i was five when we moved to California. It was great to reconnect with old friends and to retrace old steps.
The parsonage we lived in growing up.
The weekend went great. I was able to speak to the youth on Saturday and Sunday night about missions and even had a friend call so they could ask questions to Tash in New Zealand over the phone.
I was also able to speak to the Sunday schools that collectively about what it means to be in missions as they came together in the sanctuary for the first hour.
The second hour i was able to share with the church about my ministry and to challenge the congregation from 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 about focusing on the unseen.

The church was very welcoming and generous and this was a trip well worth it.
The youth group was great. They even invited me to go see Vantage Point with them on Saturday night at the theaters. It was an interesting action movie that seemed like it was over way too quick!
This is the teens trying marmite (a bitter spread like veggiemite that the Australians & Kiwis put on their toast)
I personally think it is amazingly gross. Some said it tasted like coffee, vitamins, etc, but others actually like it.
