Welcome!  Thank You For Visiting Our Site.
 
Our Mission Statement...To see the needs and to help wherever and however I can, making sure always to give God the glory and the credit.
 
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before hand that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:8-10 (NKJV)

(June 14th-20th) I had the privilege of working with "Carpenters for Christ" out of Harvester Baptist Church and a couple from my church (Starling Road Baptist, in Arnold); John and Diana Harwell.  Together we helped build a youth center in Miner Mo. at Miner Baptist church.  It was a GREAT time of fellowship, and though I was exhausted and sore at the end of the week, what a great feeling to do God's work.  This was my first Mission trip, and what a blessing. Special thanks to Bob Weeks, and the crew from Harvester as well as their church for allowing me to go and participate!  Larry   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to get a hold of us via e-mail:

 

gonebassn@aol.com

 

I've eliminated the other email, because it's causing confusion, and I don't check it as often. Unfortunately, I've missed out on some appliances and other scrap donations, as a result. So, for a timely response, please email me at the above address. Thanks, and God bless all who help us with our vision, whether it be cans, appliances, or scrap metal.  It's all helping to serve those who need it, and I hope, (in some small way), furthering the kingdom of God

Mike & George Reunion (40 years later!)

 

(L to R) David, Mike, Larry, George

 

 Mar 19, 2009, Mike Sardo, George Hutchings, David Kennedy, (JCRM Board member), and I met for lunch at the Bread Company in Fenton.  It was the first time these two great friends (Mike and George) had seen each other in over 40 years!  WOW, did we ever have a great time of fellowship!  David and I gave Mike and George some time to catch up, and then we sat in and listened as they gave their testimonies and exchanged stories of how God had led them both over the last 40 years to the ministries they are now involved in.
