Carolina Camping Crusade

The trip was great. God was with us as always. We got to see some great things, meet some cool people, and God taught us a few things along the way. It was also the first Road trip with the Evangelist Bus. Things went pretty smooth. We had some bugs to work out but the new roof didn’t leak and the engine and transmission held up great. In Columbia South Carolina we watched the next wave of young men and women graduate basic training at Fort Jackson. We also witnessed 18 people become Americans the right way. Then in Huntington Beach State Park I was privileged to take my wife and girl to see the ocean for the first time. We met a guy who played bagpipes with a group from Charlotte North Carolina. I attempted to share the Gospel with him but as it turned out he and his wife are Baptists too. Kinda funny who the Spirit leads you to sometimes. I do know that someone was interested because while we were out on one of our walks around the campgrounds someone was in the prayer tent looking through the literature. I’m sure because they moved my reading glasses off of the Bible. We also left our contact information with Park Management. So there could be a door open there in the future. Right now we are praying we will be able to raise the money to make one more excursion before winter. It’s hard running a ministry out of pocket when the pockets are shallow. But the LORD will provide. And we are truly blessed.

Revival Report

I’m a little late posting the news about the revival because it ran back to back with the Carolina trip. But in short I was surprised. The turnout was less than expected. And supporters I thought would be there never showed. But for those of us who were there we were blessed with God’s presence. We were able to worship our God on the Courthouse Square without any interference. We enjoyed beautiful music and good messages. Pastor Jim Gross was especially on the mark as he spoke directly to us about our role in the Revival of our community. And God spoke to me and showed me that just because people say they want revival doesn’t mean that they really do. And if revival is going to start in our community it will be with much prayer, the divine blessing of God, the convicting touch of the Holy Spirit, and the focused effort of the remnant. So the prayer walks continue, and the real work begins.
