Reaching Out

Hello from Pa!


We had another great clothing giveaway on November 7th. The congregation really stepped up and we had even more clothes to give out to the community this time. It was a good thing too, because a friend of a family who lost their home to a fire stopped by and gathered up 12-15 bags of clothes and food. That brought our total to 75 bags of clothing and food given out and 18 families aided.






















We also had a member bring a bunch of books she no longer needed. When I saw this table, all I could think was "I need these!" Even though they were mostly children's books, there was this desire to take them all home with me. I obviously have a problem, hehe.













The helpers enjoyed a meal of sloppy joes and baked beans. We would have had a bigger turn out but one of the members needed help moving so 5 or 6 men spent all morning and some of the afternoon assisting them. All in all, it was a great day.

Because this is the last giveaway of the year, it's been arranged for Potter Children's Home of Bowling Green, KY. to pick up all the clothes that didn't go and distribute to the foster kids. That will allow the clothing closet to be filled afresh each year. At one time Coventry Hills supported Potters, but financially hard times came upon us last year and we had to stop. I'm glad there is still a way to help. Byron Herbest, Potter's Annual Giving Officer, will bring a u-haul Wednesday, December 9th and will speak that night on all the good the Home is doing.

And lastly, Adam has started a Facebook page for the church. He plans to post news, updates, articles and scripture readings. Like and follow Coventry Hills!

Till next time,

The Rymon's

The Lord's Providence is Amazing!

Beautiful Mount Meru                                                                         Greetings!            This post is ridiculously overdue and I ask for your forgiveness. I have been preoccupied, as you will see. While I have not been as focused on the library itself as much, what I am about to tell you is going to effect the library tremendously ! I will not go into all the details, as that would make for a very long story. I will try and just give the information that is necessary, while still making it interesting.      Back in August of last year, I met Adam Rymon at Polishing the Pulpit (a week long lectureship held in Pigeon Forge, TN). We talked for about ten minutes, basically...

Isaya and His Desire to be a Doctor

This is Isaya (in America we would say Isaiah). He is 20 years old,  the son of Fred Bwile, a graduate of the Andrew Connally School of Preaching and he wants to become a doctor. He is an active member of the congregation that his father preaches for, often times teaching bible study. His family lives in Kenya where there are only 0.2 physicians per 1,000 people (2011-2015) compared to the 2.5 in America (2011). Teaching bible study. Mr. Fred contacted me a few days ago, saying that Isaya had completed his secondary education (high school) but that they didn't have the funds to send him to college. He said it would cost $240 per year. Correction: I was informed today that that number is not correct. It will actually cost $2,400 per year. I told him I would try and raise what I could. but that that was a lot more money than we both had originally thought. I know the Lord will provide if it is His will.  That's almost 4x less than what it costs to...
