Well, we are very blessed this morning to have in our service, Doctor Mike Grisanti of the Masters Seminary. He's been there 14 years. teaching at Old Testament languages and literature there at the seminary, making a wonderful contribution towards the training and development of, the next generation of pastors and church leaders here in this country and around the world. He has traveled extensively, ministered extensively, and, on the Master Seminary website, here's some of the countries that he's ministered in Colombia, Honduras, Albania.
France, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Russia. And Ukraine, and he's also been to Chile, just found that out. So God is using this brother. He's also written and contributed to numerous works that some of which have been very helpful to me personally and, and, in my ministry.
What I appreciate about Doctor Mike Rosanti is that he is a scholar of the highest rank, in my opinion, but he's not simply a scholar. He is a warm-hearted brother with the heart of a pastor, and I think that'll be evident to you as he breaks open. God's word to us this morning. He's married to Martha Ann, who is with him.
here in our service. They've been married for 31 years and have had 8 children, ages 28 down to 11, and their youngest, Teresa, is here this morning. She was in the first service, but she's in Sunday school right now. So, so much to commend this brother, and we're happy to have you with us to open up God's word....
