Good News - January 2025

My most cherished memory of 2024 was just this past week as our kids were home from College for the Holidays. We all gathered around the Christmas tree for a Family Christmas Photo. All of a sudden, in that ‘snapshot moment’ my heart was OVERWHELMED by the Grace and Goodness of our God, and the awesome Honor and Privilege He has given me to be able to be a Husband to the most amazing Wife on Earth and a Father to the two most incredible Daughters on the Planet! THANK YOU, JESUS!!!! Coach Rick Andreassen, Founder and President, SAINTS Homeschool P.S. and SAINTS International Sports Ministry My most cherished memory of 2024 was watching how the unification of First Baptist Church Fort Lauderdale (FBC) and Church By the Glades (CBG) has come together as a true work from our Heavenly Father. David Hughes and Raul Palacious from CBG and Steve Blount from FBC and all the staff from both churches, have truly been used by God to transform FBC into a modern-day soul saving station. The combined churches have provided an opportunity for our entire county and beyond to participate in an inspired worship experiences for all ages from the East to West! With over 1,500 Baptisms from the combined churches and plans for a Downtown Christian Academy at FBC in the works, the best is yet to come! Romney C. Rogers, Managing Partner, Rogers, Morris & Ziegler, LLP My family traveled a fair bit this past summer. The most memorable moment of that time was the ten days we spent in a tiny beach community on the Oregon coast, watching my two boys running around with their eight cousins (all boys) and getting into a bit of mischief. Dr. Scott Manor, President; Professor of Historical Theology, Knox Theological Seminary My most cherished memory of 2024 was in February…Three days before the Super Bowl and it had nothing what’s so ever to do with the Super Bowl. My brother Jack, 79 years old, came home after a 9-month stay at the Veteran’s Hospital nursing residency in West Palm Beach. When he went in, he could no longer walk, control his body and had memory issues…there was a really good chance he was not going to come out. But through God’s grace he was released on February 8th. He’s gone back a few times but always comes out fighting!!!! Steve Solomon, Area Director, CBMC Helping the Hurricane victims in Lake Lure North Carolina and surrounding towns. Sue Trombino, Founder, Women Impacting the Nation I have had so many special moments. This past election cycle, Florida was facing Amendment 4, which would have legalized abortion on demand until birth. On election night, I was busy teaching a class. When I got out, there were over 20 messages informing me that Amendment 4 had been defeated! I breathed this huge sigh of relief. And then, word came a few hours later that Trump had won the election. Hallelujah! That evening was my most cherished memory for 2024.
