Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church

We were recently able -- with family and friends present alongside our church family -- to ordain Lucas Admiraal to the ministry of the gospel. Praise God for this privilege, and for the blessing of Lucas, Yilina, and their children! He began his ministry at Little Flat Rock Christian Church yesterday!

And thanks to his grandmother for the photos!

"For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,
And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up,
So the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
To spring up before all the nations."

Isaiah 61:11, NASB

"Praise the LORD ... He gives snow ...
He casts forth His ice ... He sends forth His word and melts them"

(Psalm 147:12-18, NASB95)

"Praise the Lord ... He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes. He casts forth His ice as fragments; Who can stand before His cold?"

Psalm 147:12, 16-17 (NASB95)

From the IMB:

"The 2026 Winter Olympics in Northern Italy is not just a sporting event. It is a massive missional opportunity. For two weeks, the nations of the world will gather, giving us an extraordinary, time-bound chance to share the gospel.

Thousands of visitors from over 90 nations, including those currently closed to traditional missionary access, will be gathered in one single, high-concentration location.

With your help, we will deploy a fully-equipped team of IMB missionaries and local Italian partners ready to share the gospel with travelers and locals during the Olympic games.

This is the crucial strategic window.

Your gift today ensures we are fully prepared to share the gospel when the world arrives in Northern Italy."
