Wow! What a week. Average attendance of 400 kids we saw over 50 professions of faith. What a tremendous blessing. Thank you for the prayers. This Sunday (29th) I will be leading in worship for our home church while they are searching for a new worship leader then I will be spending the week in preparation for our mission trip to inner city Dayton, OH.
We would appreciate the continued prayers on our behalf!

I know there are a number of you who check this blog regularly and I must apologize for the lack of posting lately. Thank you for your patience. VBS began Monday. It was a pretty rough day as glitch after glitch revealed quite a few weaknesses that had to be adjusted before Tuesday. Things were much better Tuesday and yesterday. Yesterday we had our main decision service and there were many decisions. Don’t know totals yet as the counselors are still working through them all. Thank you for your prayers.
Last night we had parents night. This seems to work better for the church to do this event on Wednesday night but when I was told they wanted the kids to perform for their parents all I could think of was; YIKES!! And I have 3 morning rehearsals with them to teach? The kids were great. 4 new songs with motions. It was a great night featuring lots of music and two spots of ventriloquism.
Keep the prayers up and again, I’m sorry for the delay. We appreciate you,
John
Thanks for checking in. Things are gearing up now as we head into the bulk of our summer ministry. We just completed a VBS Weekend kickoff in MS and had a great time. The church was hoping for more kids but the ones that were there had lots of fun with my “friends”, music, and food.
Following the Saturday kickoff, I preached on Sunday morning and presented a concert Sunday evening. I’ve been to Faith Baptist Church many times and the people are so very supportive of us and this ministry. It was a blessing of a weekend.
This weekend we head off to Baton Rouge for our first “week long” event with a VBS. Pray that lives would be changed for the Kingdom.
Blessings,
John
The time is near. Vacation Bible School. We’ll begin this Sunday in Anniston, AL, for a VBS kickoff. Pray that we see many come to Christ this summer. This time of year is special with the kids and a great opportunity to reach the lost so we need your prayers for strength and safety as we travel.
Pray, also, for the fuel costs. Just like it’s affecting you, it’s cut into our overall budget considerably and we have many miles to travel.
Thank you for your interest and prayers for this ministry. Your support is a blessing,
John
