Our first "First Baptist Church"?

We are blessed to be partners in ministry with several "First Baptist Churches." This week we will be at First Baptist Church in Metuchen, NJ. First Baptist is just a couple of exits down the Parkway from where we served in pastoral ministry before joining WorldVenture in the early to mid-90s. In fact, our relationship goes back a bit further. Almost ten years earlier, my first ministry position, as a part time associate pastor working primarily with youth, was in nearby Edison. In those days we became acquainted with First Baptist through the then youth pastor Wiley Johnson. So its been over twenty years that we have been friends of the church, and almost fifteen since we have been part of the missionary team of First Baptist! We look forward to reaffirming our partnership in ministry with our friends in Metuchen, pray for an effective weekend of ministry.
