Cuba Missions Trip Begins NOW!


Map of Santiago, Cuba
Another journey for me begins tomorrow! I will be heading out for Cuba on Wednesday following a briefing on Tuesday night in Miami. I am one of 8 pastors that will be attending this missions trip. I will have the opportunity to see what God is up to in a Communist country. I have heard of the stories and now I will get to see it first hand. Please pray for Tessy and the 5 BOYZ that will remain at home and for maw maw. It has been a very exciting week for us at TFC! We got word that our offer for the land purchase was accepted.



Cuba Coast, 90 miles off the coast of Florida!
Today I called our attorney to start the paper work and schedule a closing date. We have 30 of the 40 acres confirmed. There is still 10 out there that we really need. Please pray that God would give us favor for the rest of it. Now, we need to pray for wisdom on how to progress with the future developments as well. All I know is that God sees more and knows more than we do - All we need to do is follow after him day by day and that vision will speak at the appointed time! I love you and thank God for the opportunity to Pastor such a great congregation in a great place, Lafayette, LA. I have been to many foreign places and many countries, but there is nothing like home when home is at TFC! I will try to call in "live" from Cuba on Sunday Morning! Be Blessed!

Hurricanes 1st win of Season!

Tessy firing up the crowd and Brian Hunts Cooking Team in Action!
Thank you to all that were at the game Saturday night at STM. The cooking team did an incredible job! We were able to feed the entire team and all those who came early to tailgate with us. We were also able to feed the visiting team after the game as well. Thank you TFC for being a light and a strong witness for Jesus. We had 6 of the team members in church at the 11 AM service yesterday. One running back brought his entire family to service as well.

The next home game stretch begins April 14th, 21st, and 28th. 3 home games in a row. Be sure to check out the photos at http://www.jcouvphotos.com/ from the first home game. By the way, we beat the Texas Titans 48-0. It was a category 5 storm that hit the field this past Saturday!

Never Give Up On Your Dreams!


Arrival to the Stadium! Starting running back, Antonio Logan!
As many of you know, I attended Lafayette Christian Academy throughout all of my high school years. We played flag football because we never had enough students to play tackle football. Well last year, LCA made the switch to tackle football. I would go out to the practices and watch these guys hit and play. Boy, I wish I could be out there with them! Last year, I found out about a local Semi-pro football team called the Lafayette Hurricanes. I went online found out some information and began to train for the upcoming season and get prepared for the upcoming try outs. Well, I made the team and I am a starter on the offensive line. Look out for #74 baby!

The rest of the Offensive Line ! #74 Fan Club My real fan club, the Miller Boyz!
Our first game was this past Saturday in New Orleans. Our First home game is this Saturday at St. Thomas Moore Field off Ambassador Caffery. Kick off is at 7pm and tailgating starts at 4pm. Bring a lawn chair and some sides cause I'm bringing all the meat. All are invited, we will have plenty! Here are some of the photos of our first Game. Many of the players were in our weekend services on Sunday. We had a great time together and many were touched by the message and anointing this weekend. Go Canes! See you Saturday Night, under the lights!

Pictures speak louder than words!

I have been busy lately! Too Busy to post to Blog. Here are some pictures in random order as to what I've been up to. During Spring Break, our staff and families went to Mexico and ministered together for a few days. I came back and headed to Arizona for a missions conference with Pastor Dino Rizzo and other friends. Got to meet Wayne Goodall and Gary Sapp of Mission of Mercy, these guys are doing some great things. Met some great Pastors from Monroe, Shane and Pam Warren. Got a chance to Ride a Harley through the desert in Arizona with Pastor Dwayne. Got to meet a linebacker coach from the Green Bay Packers on the Plane and talk to Charles Barkley on the plane as well.
