Linda and I want to thank each of the churches for the love offering, cards and words concerning our retirement as Director of Missions for the Carroll-Benton Baptist Association. It has been a wonderful 15½ years of service to our Lord and the churches. A special thanks goes to FBC Trezevant and the wonderful ladies who prepared a wonderful day of celebration for us on June 5. Your hospitality and decorations and especially the cake were so thoughtful.
We have met so many wonderful people of God and you will forever be in our hearts and prayers. We will continue to reside in Huntingdon. I am not retiring from serving the Lord. I still wish to supply and possibly do some interims in the months ahead if God opens that door.
May God bless you as you seek a new Director of Missions and may he lead you in some marvelous ways of reaching the lost here, in Tennessee and around the world. Keep on with the main theme of introducing men, women, and boys and girls to the only Savior, Jesus Christ.
Please keep Linda and me in your prayers as we seek to follow God in the next role he has for us.
Thanks,
Jimmy & Linda Furr
