Wichita Workout With Shopping and Wheelchairs

Hey Friends, 

Welcome to the weekend! This is Odie checking in from Wichita, Kansas. We have enjoyed being with Pastors John and Judy DiZazzo. Our time here is always full of laughter and good times. Dad posted a bunch of pictures yesterday of our dear friends at Bethany.

The Lord has blessed us nightly with great services and wonderful results around the altar this week. It is a blessing to see the congregation at Bethany Revival Center receiving strength and encouragement. We have 3 more services tonight and tomorrow left in this revival. I am anticipating great things from God. 

The highlight for me coming to Wichita is see my dear friends. One of those dear friends is Sis. Esther Richards. God placed Esther in my life to be an encourager. She has faithfully encouraged me even when things have been tough for her. My day is always brighter when Esther is involved. She has a smile, laugh and attitude that is contagious. Esther is definitely a blessing to our family. 

I came across a shirt like this online the other day. I agree shopping is my workout. 🤣 It is hard work sometimes but always fun. 

Thursday we made a visit to the Dillard’s outlet here in Wichita. Mom and I enjoy shopping at Dillard’s Outlet when we can. You never know what you might find. This one was well stocked and had some great sales. I came out with a few good bargains. But we definitely had a great time bargain hunting. 

Esther came along for this adventure too. We talked her into using my scooter.  We knew we would wear her out shopping! 

Sis. Karen Mitchell joined us for this fun outing. Sorry I ran out of wheelchairs to share with Mom and Sis. Karen. They had to watch out for us crazy wheelchair drivers. I think the hardest part for them was trying to find us among the clothing racks. 

Thanks for stopping by to visit. Have a fantastic weekend.

Revival In Pictures - Bethany Revival Center

We have only had three revival services at Bethany so far this year but it is time for our Revival In Pictures post. It honestly seems like we have had more services than only three for two reasons. Number one, each revival service has been excellent! Number two, we have also had two services at the Sedgwick County Jail.

I love preaching in the jail services each year and this year was no exception. God moved in the service Wednesday and Thursday morning and the men responded to His touch. Praise God for His help and praise God for the men's response.

Bro. Charles Mitchell makes sure that all of my paper work is in order each year so that I can enter the jail and preach. If he did not stay on top of the changes and communicate them to me, I would not be able to enter. 

He also plays the piano in the services and leads the worship. The men there love him and that furthers my ministry among them too. The jail services are a real blessing to me.

Our first revival at Bethany Revival Center was in August of 2003. We have been here every year so this is the 15th year in a row. We appreciate Pastor John and Sis. Judy DiZazzo inviting us each year and we appreciate all of these fine people opening their arms to welcome us each and every visit. It is a joy to be here!

You did not come to hear me rattle on today so let us get to the pictures. Thank you for stopping by today.
