Serving the Church

Psalms: God s’ Refreshing Oasis was shaped significantly through


the influence of our pastors, Marty Herron and Sam Horn. The con-
tribution of these men toward this project goes far beyond writing the
journal entries found in the CD booklet. Their faithful ministry and ex-
ample in directing our flocks consistently to the Word as the only source
of strength and hope in the midst of trial has influenced this project to
become an intentional tool of discipleship for hurting people.
