We had a good weekend in Dayton, TN, right north of Chattanooga.  We got to spend some time with friends and be a part of a new kids ministry and a church that although it has been around for quite sometime, has not spent anytime developing a quality kids ministry.  Now, with the calling of a friend, things are moving in the right direction. 

We had a good service Sunday morning then followed that with a luncheon for families.  We headed back home after loading and arrived around 10 p.m.  Thanks for the continued prayers.

Hi friends,

We had a great men’s retreat with the Hillcrest guys as we played golf and had wonderful worship each evening.  Two men involved in the Crossfire Sports Ministry, based in South Carolina, came and spoke.  I had the privilege of leading in worship and to hear 43 guys lifting up the Lord is a moving experience.

I got home Saturday evening around 9:30 p.m. and packed for our trip to MS, Sunday morning.  I was scheduled to lead a youth Late Night Extra where we had 284 youth in a sanctuary built for about 250.  A great time.  There were several decisions and we praise the Lord for each.

I am now back home and preparing for this coming weekend where we’ll be in Dayton, TN, and leading a family weekend.

Thanks for the continued prayers!

Well, lots of visitors tonight.  Things went well although no movement during the invitation.  God is working but we need your prayers that people will break down the walls and  be obedient to Him.

Thanks

Hi friends,

A good night in revival.  Although we had no public decisions, there were a number of responses that indicated God’s seed had been planted and we look forward to the harvest.  There are a number of extended family from those in the church who have committed to attending tomorrow night.  Many of them are unchurched so pray God’s hand on the service.

Blessings,

John

We arrived in time to visit a few minutes before moving in equipment to begin revival services yesterday.  There was a small number in the service.  The church is located in a predominately Catholic or non-church going area and has been difficult in growing for that reason. 

The church has a week long prayer vigil as well as outreach visitation to invite people.  Pray that they won’t become too discouraged and that the services will move the hearts of those in attendance.

Blessings,
John 

Hi friends,

Arrived yesterday in time to get things set up for the kids program this morning then joined the festivities out on the church lawn where there was singing, church history, a buffet and I played one number on my trumpet.

We’ll do kids Sunday school followed by kids church then immediately load equipment and head to Mathews, LA, to begin revival services this evening. 

Prayed for our travel and that we’ll see God do some great things this week.

John
