Revival In Pictures - New Miami, Ohio

We have been having a wonderful revival this week in New Miami, Ohio and today it is time for a Revival In Pictures post. These are some of our more popular posts because folks love to see other people from around the country. 

You never know who may show up at a particular revival and this week has certainly been proof of that. We have had several Pastors, visitors from other churches and people from the community in revival. We love that! We love seeing all these folks and we hope you do too!

Now for the Revival In Pictures!

Working On A Building and Revival!

We have had two nights of wonderful revival at Pentecostal Faith Church in New Miami, Ohio. The church is better known as Cain Avenue. Pastor Steven Allen invited us to be with them this week and we are so glad to do it. It has been 28+ years since we have been there and we had often wondered about some of the people.

We have spent so many years in other parts of the county that it has been easy to lose track of folks we have known for years. It has been a joy to get reacquainted. It did not take long to slip right into gear.

The first night of revival felt like home and God blessed in the altar service. We had very near 100% participation in the altar Monday night and we did have 100% Tuesday night. God spoke to some specific needs and I did not have a clue. I love when He does that. He loves folks and constantly proves it to us!

We will be there through the weekend and we are excited to see what else is in store. We would love to have you join us if it is possible. The address is 30 Cain Ave. It is located in New Miami but it comes up on my Google Maps as Hamilton, since it is on the North end of Hamilton.

House Pictures

We are about to get behind on posting pictures from the progress of the house construction. I have pictures from several days past so here they are.

Dad and I were both up on ladders so Odie pulled the wires to the proper length for the panel. She is putting in some "sweat equity".

My gloves were giving a helping hand.

Kelly Jo has been working hard.

Who needs a fancy wire wagon? All we need is a sturdy ladder, a rake and a hoe!

The plumbers had to saw and jack hammer some concrete due to some "missed" drains and water lines.

Here are a few pictures showing Dad's nice, neat work on the electrical.

I will post more pictures of the electrical when it is finished.

Duke Energy replaced a power pole across the street Tuesday and then set a new one on our side of the street Wednesday. There are too many houses on our transformer so they are rearranging things. Our barn power has voltages all over the map and hopefully this will fix that. The pole on our side is for the new house.

I think that catches us up. Thank you for reading today.

Another Helping Hand From Mississippi

This week we have had some extra help working on the house. Bro. Marty and Sis. Alicia Estes from Mississippi brought their four children to Ohio and spent some of their vacation helping us. They were an incredible blessing!

They arrived in the night Sunday night and Bro. Marty showed up at the house about 8:00 AM and worked like a mule helping any way he could. He ran wire, walked rafters, climbed ladders, moved scaffolding, fetched tools and a thousand other things over two days. He worked a full day on Tuesday and a very full day on Monday.

We did have a little time Monday evening to take them for a sip or two of salsa. Steve, Karen and Deidre met us at Acapulco too.

Steve hit it off with the kids and before you knew it they were at his house petting chickens.



Bro. and Sis. Estes called several weeks ago and told us their intentions to help for a couple of days. I could not predict exactly where we would be in the building process on their proposed dates but their timing worked out perfectly. It was super great to have them and their gift of labor was a wonderful blessing to our family.

They need to move on south this morning but they drove over an hour last night to be with us on the first night of revival at Pentecostal Faith Church in New Miami. We met these friends years ago in church so it was only fitting that we were in church together again before they left.

May God bless these dear friends for sowing into our lives. We are definitely the better for it!

This is the second batch of workers from Mississippi as well as volunteers from Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. There are more on the way and we are looking forward to seeing them all.

Thank you for kindly dropping in today.
