Many of you have asked what is on my agenda lately, so I decided it would be good to put out a brief newsletter to give an update on how God is using me since leaving Bible Study Fellowship in September. Amazingly, there is life after BSF!

In addition to the blog (and a huge “thank you” to all of you who read it, share it, and encourage me through your comments), God is placing other speaking opportunities on my calendar. I’m so excited to have been asked to speak at these upcoming events:

Brian and I will be travelling to Israel in April. We are anxious to learn more about the life of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, and walk where He walked. It will be my joy to share those adventures with you in upcoming blog posts!

Again, thank you so much for sharing a few minutes with me a couple of times a week as you read the blog posts. Please feel free to contact me via email, phone, or through the website www.marciafurrow.com.
