  • We are a reformed baptist couple in Port Saint Lucie Florida (zip 34986), who are looking to open up our home for a reformed and baptistic Bible study. We have been encouraged by [two reformed baptist pastors] to do such, as there is NO reformed, calvinistic, covenantal, confessional, puritan and of course baptistic teaching for 90 miles north to 90 miles south of our location! Is there some way that you can put out our request for such a Bible study in our home via your communication lines?? We have been in much prayer of late to seek God's face and to do His will in this endeavor, but have not started anything yet, and have begun only this past week our first steps.— FL. (Note from E.L.M.: if you would like to contact this couple please send an email to us, let us know the reason, and we will facilitate the contact.)
