We're here for you!
The show must go on!!!!

Greetings!This picture is from a few weeks ago. We had the honor of presenting Open Bible credentials to a fine young couple from Mansfield Open Bible Church. Rev. Cody & Jocelyn Langtry are serving as youth pastors there, and they are doing a fantastic job reaching their community! Cody and Jocelyn are a small example of some excellent up and coming leaders we have seen rise to the occasion within OBE. God is working in spite of and through a global pandemic! Praise the Lord!!! This is but one tiny example of the ministry moving forward despite what's going on around us!
We have 3 church plants in progress, and two of them were planted in the middle of this global pandemic. God is still blessing the fruit of our labors!!! I can fill pages with the wins and advancements in OBE this past year! I am sure that if you would take the time to look closely around the ministry, you to would see the hand of God at work!!! 

However, we know that this season has been very TOUGH on all ministers, pastors, and churches. Melissa and I want you to know that we are standing with you in prayer and are available to you if and when needed! We believe in you, God is for you, and I know we will get through this and come out shining and fruitful on the other side! Do you remember the old saying.... the show must go on? For us it is... The ministry must go onward and upward!!! Hang in there, trust the Lord, and lean on HIS promises!!! 

Jeremiah 29:11- "I know the plans I have for you says the Lord...
Plans to prosper and bless you!"

Elevate is back! Student Ministries Open Bible East is excited to announce Elevate 2021: Midnight!
