Juniper Grove, Wednesday

Well, its the last night of services here in Poplarville, MS, then I’ll be heading home. The senior adult luncheon went well with Gladys the Churchlady and The Professor making their presence known quite vividly. Last nights service was youth night. It was a difficult time of ministry for most of the students present last night were not church kids. Not raised in worship services so there were a few problems but we pray that “seed” was planted and hang on to the promise that His Word doesn’t return void.
Tonight is family night and we look for God to continue to work. I’ll be heading home first thing in the morning and looking forward to a little time “down” and off the road. Thank you for your continued prayers.
Blessings,
John

Juniper Grove Update 11/3

Well, here we are again. Last night went pretty well but there was considerable “warfare” going on and that made things difficult for me as well as the preacher. It makes your prayers all the more important so I’m trusting you get to see this before the service tonight.
It all started once I got there. My usual thing is to put my service for the evening on the jump drive and leaving my computer at the house where I’m staying.
I get there and do just what we did for Sunday morning and Sunday evenings service and the computer, when preacher’s computer, when reading my jump drive, doesn’t show the Monday evening service. It’s not there. Hmmmmm…….I know it’s there because I double checked it before I left. So…I race back to town to the place I’m staying and grab my computer so I can use it. I get back to the house and check everything out and it’s all there. I thought it might be because I’m running an older version of power-point than the preacher but then why would it read Sunday morning and Sunday evenings service that were done identically with the same computer. Demons!!!!!
Nevertheless, other things were distractions last night as well so your prayers would be appreciated.
Blessings,
John

Juniper Grove Update 11/2

Hi friends,
Well, I’m sitting in Hardee’s using the free wi-fi so I can give you an update. The services yesterday went well. It’s a very tradional church but the pastor is trying to lead to a more blended “fresh” music service and with that comes the usual things.
The music we did yesterday, for the most part, was recieved by the people although they would prefer hymns only. There was little movement yesterday so we are praying for a breaking free in the services to come. Join us in this prayer.
Thank you for your continued prayers of strength and a fresh anointing as I do the work.
Blessings,
John
