Revival in Purcell, Oklahoma/Special Request

We have been in revival at New Mission Holiness Church near Purcell, Oklahoma since Sunday morning. We have been having good services each night with one night being exceptionally good. Praise God for meeting with us in the altar!

We love coming to New Mission to be with Pastor Steve Moore and the folks here. They have been our friends for years and have proven that friendship through thick and thin. They love preaching and love to have church and THAT is our kind of place

The church is out in the country and we love to park here with nothing but the cows and coyotes. We like being in the city with everything we need close at hand but this is always a welcomed break.

We plan to leave here Friday night or Saturday morning headed for Mississippi. It will be our first long trip with the Cheap Jeep loaded up in the trailer so it will be a new experience. Please pray that all goes well. We hope to leave the trailer in one place in the south until it's time to pick up the tent.

SPECIAL PRAYER REQUEST
We received word today that Bro. Steve Gray and his wife Sis. Lynn from Bond, Kentucky are in desperate need of prayer. Sis. Lynn's mother died tragically this morning and they need God to help them through. Please pray for their family and ask others to pray.
God bless you all,

Summer of Tent Revivals

We have always enjoyed singing and preaching outdoors. It is a thrill to take the gospel outside the four walls of the church. Nearly every year for the last 11 years we have conducted at least one outdoor revival. It has been in our heart to do more of these type of meetings especially as we see the perilous times we are facing. We see the need, we feel the desire but we could not see a way to devote more than a week or two a year to outdoor meetings.

In the spring of 2009 we began to pray about a summer full of tent revivals. It still seemed impossible but I felt like we needed to start making plans to do it. We set aside 2011 as the time appointed and asked God to lead us each step.

As we prayed, the details began to fall in place. God began to stir the hearts of Pastors and they expressed to us their burden to reach out to their community. We now have 6 tent revivals scheduled over a 10 week period in Oklahoma, Kansas, Virginia and Ohio.

We felt we should ask Bro. Jimmy and Sis. Shauna Millikin to participate in as many meetings as they could so they are planning to join us in singing and preaching the first 3 tent revivals. We are so glad to have them on board with us for three revivals. They are going to be a blessing as they minister each night.

We also hope to have a couple of young men join us each week to help with set up and tear down of the tent, canvassing neighborhoods and working in the altars. We are asking God to direct us to the right ministry minded young men.

We have secured the use of a tent along with chairs and a portable platform. We have been planning to pull a trailer behind the BoggsMobile with the tent, chairs, platform and extra sound equipment. That meant Kelly Jo would have to follow behind in Mr. Jeep about 3500 miles this summer.

In the last few weeks a brother told me he had a trailer big enough to haul the things we needed AND the jeep. It is a 2009 24 foot enclosed car hauler made by Interstate. It is very nice. He was willing to donate nearly 1/3 of the price and that made it very reasonable. We bought it Saturday and you can see the pictures below. I certainly would not want to pull it every where I go but it will be a blessing to us this summer.

The cost of the trailer when factored in with all the other expenses of conducting these revivals is part of the impossibility of devoting a summer to tent revivals. It would be much easier and cheaper to pull up to a different church every week and preach revival. But we feel that God has directed us into these tent revivals and He has never pointed us where He did not provide us with the means to do it. The potential harvest of souls will be worth every mile we drive and every dollar we spend.

Please help us pray about a few key areas concerning these tent revivals. Pray that:
1. God would saturate each revival with His presence.
2. Men and women would be gloriously saved from sin.
3. God would miraculously heal the sick and encourage the saints.
4. God would protect us and each person that attends or works in the meetings and all of the equipment.
5. The weather would be good each week.
6. God would supply the necessary finance to conduct the meetings, for us to bless the Millikin's and other workers, buy the equipment and pay all the expenses.

Thanks for your prayers. I lay all of this out because I know that many folks read these posts every week that are interested in seeing God's work progress. That is exactly what we are trying to do.

God bless

A Miracle

This is Seth and Monica Burdge with their youngest child, Brayden.

They attend Calvary Holiness in Midwest City where Bro. Kenny Searcy is the Pastor.  Brayden has not been keeping any food down and has not been gaining weight.  On Wednesday the doctor diagnosed him with Pyloric Stenosis.  You can Google it.  It is not good.  The treatment is a surgery that usually takes care of the problem. The doctor was sure of his diagnosis so plans were set in motion for the surgery. They had an appointment Thursday morning for an ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis with a surgeon standing by.

Wednesday night as the Holy Ghost was moving in the service, Bro. Seth brought little Brayden to the front to be anointed with oil and for the church to pray for his healing.  As the church prayed you could feel faith rising in the service to believe God for a miracle. We had a great move of God and we went home believing that God had heard the prayers of His people.

When the ultrasound was over Thursday morning and they had examined Brayden again, they told Seth and Monica that he did not have Pyloric Stenosis at all. They were sure he had it Wednesday and just as sure that he did not have it on Thursday. The only intervention was prayer to God who hears and answers the cries of his children.

Sis. Monica testified last night at church that Brayden had kept all his food down since he had been prayed for and had not even spit up one time. We were praising and blessing God for most of the service for obviously touching Brayden. Praise God for His miracle working power!

I give this testimony to give Praise and Glory to God and to build your faith.  Jesus said, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Mark 9:23  Allow faith to rise up in your heart and believe God for a miracle in your situation.  God knows your need.  God cares about your need.  God is able to move in your need.

We are praising God for healing Brayden Burdge and believing that God will move in your needs as well.

God bless,

Davy
