In the western part of New York State, just
minutes from Niagara Fall, is the town of Akron,
New York. Pastor LaCapruccia asked Mrs. Souza
and myself to help in a Family Conference.
For two days folks of all ages met to study the
scriptures in the matter of the home and marriage.
In all there were three general sessions and a
split session in which Mrs. Souza had the ladies
and I had the men.
The heart of the folks were so eager to see and
accept the scriptural teaching on the role of
husband, wife and children in the home.
If our churches are to be strong then our homes
must be strong and built on the Word of God.

| Before
the last session on Saturday evening, we all
enjoyed a great time of fellowship and food.

The Sunday Services
After
spending most of all day Saturday at the Family
Conference, the folks came to church with a
spirit of anticipation as to what the Lord would
do. It was Father's day and a good
number of fathers were present. Each was
given a gift and honored.
I preached
a Father's Day sermon from the life of Noah and
Lot. At the invitation many fathers came to
the altar, kneeling before the Lord of Heaven. They
committed themselves to a Godly home under the
direction of the Word of God. As they knelt, their
wives came along side of them and also committed
themselves to follow and support their husbands in
this spiritual walk. There were many tears,
hugs and smiles as the joy of following the Lord
was expressed.

Fellowship
Baptist Church has a world wide missions vision.
They support missionaries around the world who
are preaching the Gospel, seeing people get
saved, baptized and establishing New Testament
Baptist Churches.

Pastor and
Mrs. LaCapruccia are a God called couple to this
God given people. Their faith, vision and
zeal are hard to match. The believers are
in solid support of Biblical teachings and have a
love for each other and the lost.
