We look forward to the next time you and the entire family will get to come, and, LORD willing, I will not be under the weather. I also look forward to getting to know you better, but it seems readily apparent that I have found another like-minded brother in Christ with whom I can build a strong, covenanted relationship with that will glorify Him. Soli Deo Gloria, Jim K. Blessings Scott, Leah, and tribe,

Thank you for your kind comments regarding Rayville and the people here. We look forward to the next time you and the entire family will get to come, and, LORD willing, I will not be under the weather. I also look forward to getting to know you better, but it seems readily apparent that I have found another like-minded brother in Christ with whom I can build a strong, covenanted relationship with that will glorify Him.

Soli Deo Gloria,

Jim K.

And apparently, Rayville offers quite an international cuisine- providing Peruvian dishes! Before you know it, it will offer a global perspective.... :-) Maybe not a pilgrimage (because that implies less permanence) but more of a relocation- that’s more conducive to a covenant community.

Scott, we were blessed greatly by your visit. I laugh every time I remember your account of your friend who was working at the bank and reading "Usury, Destroyer of Nations" during his breaks. I'll not ever forget this! Truly, God has a sense of humor. Christine, it is the food, but not necessarily for the belly. We receive countless inquiries from His people scattered to the four winds in this country who desire what God intended for us to have: sound preaching, edification and fellowship in the true Gospel. There is a famine in the land, not of bread, or a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord (Amos 8:11-12). Many believers today are wandering here and there seeking the word of the Lord, and having difficulty finding it. If we can be of help here in little old Rayville then let 'em come. God bless and keep you in His way, Jeff We would to God that there were many communities where God’s people are keeping covenant locally… let us know where that is effectively happening, we’d like to be in covenant with them.

Troy might be onto something...Annual Pilgrimage to Rayville? Seriously, Scott and the Shropshires have benifitted from the tangible effects of living in a covenant Godly community: hospitality, love, accountability, edification and lots of good food! Maybe it's the good food that's causing the pilgrimage...... :-) That’s another person who’s singing high praises for what’s occurring in Rayville!

It seems to me that every time I hear the name Rayville, I think of the Harpers in Mama's Family, they lived in Raytown. :) It seems that Rayville is quickly becoming a pilgrimage sight.
