Greetings to all that travel through the Baptist Bridge!

This will make the fourteenth installment I have ventured across and count it a privilege to be on this trek withyou! I want to thank you for your prayers and support while I was in Russia a few months ago! I have a verydetailed photo journal of those nine days on my Facebook account. I was able to share at our Mens Prayer

Breakfast and also have done two Tiny Moments times during worship showing some of the people and placeswe encountered. There is a new website that has just now been launched that is designed to be able to keep ourlines of communication open in the partnership of ministry to come! The link is www.wvbc-russia.org Youwill see all churches we visited plus the other churches in the Ryazan Region.

We are fortunate to have Ms. Debbie Mulneix home with us for a while from her mission work in India! Wehave partnered with her in her calling and look forward to that continuing for many years to come. Our Boardof Missions is recommending we support her with a $600 goal through our World Mission Offerring.

We also got to hear from Reeds who are requesting support as they prepare to embark on their mission callingto Bolivia. The School of Missions is also recommending we support them with a $600 goal through our WorldMission Offering. If they are fully funded, they will embark in July this year!!! JD, Rhonda, Grace, Abie andNathan will be taking us with them as the venture out in Jesus name!

We continue to be a mission minded people! Thank you for your support and prayers for all the ministries wepartner with both near and far!

To My Church family,

Thank you so much to those of you who came and supported

me during my recital. It was wonderful to look into the audi-

ence and see everyone.

Thank you also for being such an influence in my life over

the years, I will never forget my years growing up in such a

wonderful church.

It is your support that makes my horn playing worth it.

Thank you again!

Lindsay Bracey

Woman of Many Words

Skip and I are both from Uhrichsville, Ohio, a small manufacturing town where the main product is sewer

tiles, Carol says. We met in fourth grade, but it was his father I fell in love withwhen I was five. Skipcame later.

Both of them are musicians, and it was a position in the Music Department at Alderson-Broaddus that brought them to Philippi. Carol, who has taught all grades from kindergarten to college,taught English at A-B and then spent some twenty years running her own business called Writing for You.I usually call it WFY, she says, because only about a quarter of my time was spent writing. The rest was

in layout and publication set-up. Her office was in a small building which they built adjacent to their homeoutside of Nestorville. Thats where they spend ten months of the year, the other two in Florida where theyboth enjoy fishing.

Carol describes herself as impatient, unable to sit for long without something to engage my mind and hands.

Now that Im retired, I am happy to indulge my lifelong ambition of writing novels. Im now on numberfiveabout a million words so far. Ive heard it takes ten to get good enough to be published. Ill neverwrite fast enough or live long enough to make it, but the process is stimulating and fun. She reports that her

most recent interest is blogging. Now when I start up the computer I look at blogs before email. Im bestas a student, and Internet presents much to learn.

As for the church, Carol has been a member of the Diaconate several times and presently serves on the Boardof Worship. She also sings in the choir and teaches Sunday school. Although I appreciate others volunteerwork, which I think is so important to good communities, church is the only organization Im active in. I

admire the service and testimony of our members. Faith has guided and enriched my entire life..
