Wow!  What a great service we had.  Probably as great a “first” service as I’ve been a part as we saw 7 people, 1 teen and 6 adults come to Christ.  The guest preaching evangelist, Gary Bowlin, said that there were at least 2 or 3 that raised their hands indicating they had just prayed the sinners prayer but didn’t come forward.

Let’s join together to pray that God will have His will and way in the services and in each life present in the services.

The service will begin at 6 p.m. tonight, 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Wednesday. 

Thanks,

John

We head out in the morning to a little town in MS by the name of Vaiden.  For you Rand McNally fans or MapQuest nuts, Vaiden is about 25 miles or so south of Grenada, MS off of interstate 55.

We will be setting up equipment tomorrow night and beginning revival services Sunday morning.  Lord willing I will keep you updated with any prayer request.  I will be leading the worship for this one and a vocational evangelist from MS, Gary Bowlin will be preaching.  Pray for strength and the Lord’s leadership in each service.  Pray that the walls will be broken down and God will be allowed to accomplish His will in each heart and life.

Blessings,

John

Hi friends.  Thanks for checking in and thank you for your prayers.  The service this morning went well and the altar was filled as the church members recommitted to live God’s way this year.  Pray for the church body.  Many are still recovering from hurricanes Gustav and Ike.  It’s been difficult but attitudes are really good.  It was quite humbling when talking to “Sandra” and she said; “we had 13 inches of water in our home but God is so good.  We actually have a dining room table that no one, previously, has ever eaten on and we have new counter tops.  Thank you, Lord.”

We will complete our time here tonight with another service then head home tomorrow.

Blessings,

John

It was a great night.  We began at 6 p.m. with a meal.  Too bad these folks in south LA don’t know how to cook!  ha  ha ha ha

Following the meal we headed to the worship center for a time of celebration, laughter and finally thanksgiving for the year.  There were several who shared things they were thankful for this past year with one being a lady who’s husband died November 2nd.  It was a sweet time with a few tears.

We finished the evening following that testimony with the song “Thank You Lord” by Don Moen and Integrity Music.  Wow!

Thanks for the prayers.  We’ll take some time to visit with friends the next few days and be back at this church on Sunday for both services.

In Him,

John
