Blake and Claire love rejoicing in the uniqueness of the part of God’s world where He has called them. Their family hasn’t yet tired of seeing the amazing animals, sunsets, and landscapes the Creator has designed. The environment is a constant reminder to them of the power and love of God.
Blake had the opportunity to preach twice in the last few months. It was a difficult task to continue his normal responsibilities, start a men’s discipleship group back up at their church, finish an online class, and preach twice. But God gave the grace to do it all and they are thankful for these amazing opportunities. They are eager to be “poured out like a drink offering” (2 Tim. 4:6) for the sake of God’s glory and the salvation of souls.
Daniel and Danielle met in Serbia where Daniel served as a missionary for two years. Shortly into their marriage, they joined the ministry of Killeen Bible Church in March 2019 after Daniel became the preaching pastor. They have continued serving the body there for the last several years. By the Lord’s grace, they joyfully welcomed their firstborn son, Titus Angelo, into their family in January 2021.
The purpose of Killeen Bible Church is to glorify God who, by His sovereign grace and the proclamation of His Word, produces disciples that worship Him, build one another up, and reproduce themselves. They desire that their worship would be authentic, vibrant, God-glorifying, Christ-centered, Spirit-led, Word-based, and driven by a passionate desire to honor the triune God in a way that is both pleasing to Him and intelligible to the worshippers.
Starting this Sunday evening, Immanuel will be hosting weekly spaghetti dinners in the Fellowship Hall at 5:00p for members of the local community and unbelieving friends of Immanuel members. During the dinners, Pastor Ryan will teach through Christianity Explained: a six-week study that presents the challenge of Jesus in a way that is non-threatening and concentrates on the facts concerning the person and work of Christ.
