Lakes Pond Baptist Church

Waterford, Connecticut

Pastor Doug Meader

I was glad to preach again in this wonderful and exciting church.  The Lord is blessing with reports of souls saved and  missionaries  not only supported but also sent out from their own membership.  The various ministries have all been blessed by the Lord in the salvation of souls as well as the edification of  believers.  This church does "earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints". . . standing firm in Bible doctrine, Godly music and Holy standards.

All the young people joined with the adults for the Sunday School time and it seemed from the start the Lord was going to do something special among us.  After I taught the Sunday School Bible lesson, several (both youth and adults) explained to me how the Lord had met with them during the lesson.  Strange how conviction can also bring encouragement  in our life.  I am always amazed how the Holy Spirit uses simple Bible teaching to meet our needs.

The Evening Service was very well attended and set a good tone for rest of the days.    It did my heart good to see so many come to hear the Word of God.  Again the Lord moved in our hearts.  The altar and isles were full. Tears were shed as broken and contrite hearts were stirred by the power of the Holy Spirit.  Thank God Jesus Christ came to save "ole sinners".  And not only to save but to deliver us from the power of sin and make us instruments of righteousness in His service.

The singing  during the services and the special music prepared our hearts well for the preaching of the Word of God. 

During the weekdays I preached to the students of the Bible Baptist Academy.  Over the years I have learned to love, respect and admire the excellent job being done among the young people of the church.  I would be hard pressed to find this level of Spiritually, Academics and spirit among the students and staff else where.  Sadly for some reason I lost the pictures of the High School.  Sorry guys.... I will make it up to you next time.  But rest assured, you were a blessing to me and I am glad for the time we spent together.
