Hallelujah!\u00a0 Ok, I’m sure where to begin for fear of leaving something out so let me just begin at the first thing this morning.\u00a0 I asked you to pray for us as we went into Winona Christian School today.\u00a0 The prayer of a righteous man availeth much.\u00a0 You know who you are “righteous man” so I want to share with you.\u00a0 At 8:30 this morning, Bro. Bowlin went into the middle school\/high school.\u00a0 Grades 7-12.\u00a0 There were 4 professions of faith including a brother and sister.<\/p>\n
Following the chapel, the host pastor, Bro. Freddie Matthews and Bro. Bowlin went to tell the dad all about it.\u00a0 Mom works at the school and was so excited.\u00a0 The men arrive at the farm to see dad on the tractor in the field.\u00a0 They talk, he shows up at church tonight at WHAM, gets saved.\u00a0 How bout that?<\/p>\n
I went to the elementary, grades 1-6, this afternoon.\u00a0 Tonight, 6 of the kids walked down the aisle to receive Christ as Lord and Savior.\u00a0 Following that, a leader in the youth group came forward to recommit his life.\u00a0 His dad was one of the 7 saved on Sunday.\u00a0 When he recommited, being the leader he is, another teen guy came forward to receive Christ.\u00a0 He’s not even a member of the church.\u00a0 He lives in another community about 10 miles away.<\/p>\n
All in all, we saw about 16 or 17 come to Christ and countless decisions of recommitment and families committing to take a deeper walk and begin a family altar time each day.\u00a0 Truly a spirit filled revival.\u00a0 I’ve only had the privilege of experiencing true revival in a church a few times in my ministry.\u00a0 Your constant prayer coverage was honored by the Lord and I praise Him and thank you for your faithfulness.<\/p>\n
Continue to lift up Vaiden Baptist Church and their pastor, Bro. Freddie Matthews as they fulfill God’s call.\u00a0 We’ll head home early tomorrow for a long day.\u00a0 We head home, unload, reload and head to Birmingham to spend the night.\u00a0 On Friday morning we’ll fly out at 6:40 for Grand Cayman and the weekend mission at Cayman Island Baptist Church.<\/p>\n
Not sure that we’ll be able to blog so pray.\u00a0 Saturday a kids program, Sunday morning we’ll be participating in the service and Monday morning we’ll be in one of the elementary schools.<\/p>\n
Blessings,<\/p>\n
