First Night of Tent Revival in Millry, Alabama

Wow! We had a great first night under the tent in Millry, Alabama. We had a great service, wonderful participation from local churches and four people saved. It was awesome. This community is excited about revival and that thrills me.

Some of the local churches dismissed their Wednesday services to support the tent revival. Others came as soon as their service was over. I sure appreciate that. It was a great encouragement to us and to the Midway church and Pastor Lamar Chapman. I love it when churches are willing to work together to spread the Gospel and wins souls. I know that God honored that tonight. I also believe the community notices that as well.

The weather forecast for tomorrow (Thursday) is not looking very good. There is a possibility of large hail and very high winds. I am praying that the storms dissipate completely. Would you pray with me about that?

Here are just a few pictures. We are not enjoying being without cell phone service!

The Tent is Up in Millry, Alabama

Tuesday ended up being a very long, hard day. We started early in Citronelle and pulled into Millry before 10:00.

We dropped the trailer in a parking lot, parked the BoggsMobile, hooked it up and started marking the stake line of the tent.

We are working with Pastor Lamar Chapman this week and he was here to help us all day. Bro. Scott Morris drove over from Richton and worked hard for a few hours too. I appreciate Bro. Scott for going way beyond the call of duty today.

We had never washed the tent before and we wanted to get that done before putting it up today. Bro. Lamar, Bro. Scott and Kelly Jo worked so hard to get it done. It is a huge job.

The tent went up great. We did have a little excess wind as we were raising it but it was not too bad. It feels good to have it finished.

Everything is ready now and we are expecting revival in this town. There is a lot of curiosity about the tent and excitement about revival. There is no telling what God is going to do.

Please pray for revival. Pray that we will be effective in the work God gives us to do and also pray that the weather is good every day.

We have zero phone service here but we do have some Internet. It is limited so we may not post many pictures after these below. We should be able to post text everyday, IF we can think of something to say.

God bless you all. Thanks for reading.

Monday April 8, 2013

Today was pretty uneventful, just like we planned it.  Kelly Jo and Odie did go to the laundromat and to Walmart but they usually enjoy getting out of the bus and not having to worry about getting back in time to set up the sound system and get ready for church. So it was a pretty good day for all of us.

I rested as much as I could this morning and I did some of the work that needs to be done before we travel. That only required a few minutes work and then I exerted the most energy of the day. Kelly Jo and I loaded up in the Green Machine and went in search of a barber shop in Citronelle.

The barber shop was closed so we went to a salon and a very few minutes later I had my summer cut.

It is pretty short. What do you think?

That's about all the excitement I could stand for one day.

Tomorrow we plan to hook up to the tent trailer and drive to Millry. We will drop the trailer in a parking lot, park the bus on the lot where the tent will go up and then move the trailer onto the same lot. I want to mark my stake lines and then drag the tent out and wash it. It needs to be washed really bad.

I hope to have that all finished by early afternoon so I can rest a few minutes before the help arrives to set up the tent. Hopefully the set up will go well and we will be prepared for the first service on Wednesday night. We will be having service Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and twice on Sunday under the tent. There will be no service under the tent on Saturday night.

We will have NO phone signal in Millry. You will not hear from us by phone or text and we may not even be able to blog. There is no McDonald's to go to for wifi! Pray for Odie. She is already anticipated withdrawals!

Take care,

Davy
