Newsletter Update: March 2025
Dear Friends and Ministry Supporters,
Our schedule has been picking up the past several weeks! We are thankful for the many churches that have invited us to be a part of their missions conferences.
With Pastor and Mrs. Harry at Needham’s Grove Baptist.
As we wrapped up the month of February, our travels took us to Needham’s Grove Baptist Church in Seagrove, NC. They’re a church that’s heavily invested in missions to Spain, even sending several families from their church to serve there!
After that, we drove over to Prattville, AL for a conference at Heritage Baptist Church. As you can see from the picture below, the conference had a Lego theme — something we’re sure our girls will never forget. Audrey already affectionately refers to them as the “Lego Church!” Things sort of came full circle for Aly as well, since she remembers visiting this church’s missions conference as a little girl with her family!
With the Lee family — our wonderful hosts for the week at Heritage Baptist.
For the first Sunday in March, we got to visit and present at Lakeside Baptist in Clearwater, SC, where Aly’s brother, Zach, serves as youth pastor. Our girls especially loved getting to see their Uncle Zach, Tia Toni, and cousins Mae and James!

One passage of Scripture that God has used to challenge me lately while visiting churches is Romans 1:11-12.
“For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you— that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.”
What’s interesting is, according to Rom 15:24 & 28, Paul wrote this to the church in Rome partly to seek help on his way to take the gospel to Spain! But he desired more than support from the church. He wanted to bring support to the church — that both would be strengthened and encouraged by each other’s faith in Christ.
So many of you and your churches that we’ve visited have been tremendous encouragements to us! And our hope is that the Lord has used us and will use us to strengthen and encourage all of you as you follow Christ.
Because He’s worthy,
Colton, Aly, Audrey & Annie
