Same-Same, but different ... but the Same!

Whether the West Coast of North America in Salem, OR ...

or the West Coast of South America in Salinas, Ecuador ... 

North Pole, South Pole ...

Europe or Africa ...

Mongolia or Australia ...

The church is the same.  But different.  Myriad languages, fascinating cultures, intriguing traditions ... 

Worshiping One God Who never changes ... Who always delights in our prayers ...

One Lord ... One Faith... One Baptism  ... one God and Father of all, Who is over all, in all, and living through all. (Eph. 4:5-6)  Hallelujah!

Today we had the joy of uniting Ecuadorian hearts in prayer with many from Salem First Baptist to pray again for the property that we are asking God to provide for the ministry here.  What a delightful privilege!

Same-Same, but different.  But the same!  Glory to God!
