Notes of Thanks
 Dear JBC Missions Committee — Thanks! Thanks …
Thanks. What a wonderful weekend we just had with you.
Thanks for asking us to be part of it. Loved the challenges the
speaker gave. (Practical and manageable … ex: praying at a
stoplight.) I want to thank you for continuing to support those
who have given their lives to be light and salt to the unreached. Don’t grow weary in well-doing. God is building
His church and you’re a big part of this, even if you don’t always see it. Again, we love you and thank you for all you’ve
done for us. — From us both, Dave Percy
 Thank you JBC Family for all your prayers, cards, phone calls
and Pastor Buer for praying with me before surgery. Everything went well. Praise God, He is so good.
— Thanks again, Helen Bluhm
