Dear Prayer Supporters,
During the last 7 weeks we have traveled over 6,500 miles. I started off the month of October preaching a revival meeting in St. Marys, WV at the Calvary Independent Baptist Church. The Lord really moved in the hearts of God people during the week. It was a time of encouraging and refreshing. After the revival meeting I traveled back to my home in Virginia and gathered up the family for a long-haul to Texas. Actually our meetings took us from Virginia to Louisiana, Texas, Idaho (flew from Texas), Kentucky, and South Carolina.
During that time we participated in nine mission conferences and many single services in between. We have seen people saved and others called into the ministry. Those nine mission conferences committed over 1.8 million dollars for missions for 2009. Three of those nine committed over 1.1 million dollars with a combined attendance of 800 people. Also a couple of these churches were just getting started in faith promise giving. It is good to see God’s people get their eyes opened and their faith strengthen in giving to missions. What a blessing to see people with a vision to get the Gospel around the world.
Please pray as I will be leaving for a short-trip back to St. Lucia on December 13th and returning on the 22nd. I am going there to check on the work and to be a blessing to the people I have come to love in a very special way. During my visit our church on the island will be having a revival meeting. Some of the other missionaries and I will be preaching the meeting. Please pray that we can reach some lost souls and encourage saints of God during this time. Also, while on the island I am going to try to settle on the purchase of the building and property. The owner is being difficult and wants more money. Please pray that we get this settled.
Pray for our safety on the road as we travel. We leave out in just a few days for two more mission conferences. Thank you very much for you prayers and faithful financial support. May the Lord continue to bless. Happy Holidays!!
