Pine Prairie Christian Tabernacle

Bro. Chris Juneau and Pastor Barry Gautreaux

These are the pictures I promised a few days ago. I was waiting for a sunny day to get the best pictures and Friday was beautiful.

Pastor Barry Gautreaux and his folks did an extensive amount of work inside and outside their church the last few months. They worked hard and it shows. It looks great!

Bro. Gautreaux pioneered the church in Pine Prairie over 14 years ago. He and his family have been faithful to the labor of harvesting souls. God has honored their commitment and blessed them with a fine group of folks that love God.

Friday night was Youth Rally. We had a big crowd and a great service. It was a blessing to see the young folks worshipping God. 

Sis. Shea Boyd and her girls sung as the Holy Ghost ministered to the church. 

The four Pastors in attendance: Pastors Tracy Boyd, Barry Gautreaux, Stacy Holden and Samuel Snow. 

May God continue to bless Bro. Gautreaux and Pine Prairie Christian Tabernacle.

John Boggs Revolutionary War

This was posted on a private Boggs Family site that I like to read when I can. I found this very interesting.

John Boggs (1759 DE-1847 KY) Revolutionary War Uniform

Description: Revolutionary War uniform of John Boggs who settled in Madison County, Ky no later than 1791.   The uniform pants (originally a gold color) and coat (originally a deep rust color) are of wool.   On public display at the Irvinton Museum on Lancaster Ave. adjacent to the Eastern Kentucky University campus, Richmond, Kentucky.   The construction of the pants and coat allowed the wearer to comfortably ride a horse.   It is estimated that John Boggs was of slender build about 5'3" or so.   The uniform was handed down through the family (son Benjamin Boggs, to his nephew Robert Boggs Turley, to his daughter Anna Turley Noland, to her son Turley Noland.)   The uniform was donated to the Eastern Kentucky University library about 1977 and believed to be one of only two uniforms in USA.   It was then given to the Richmond Tourist Bureau when EKU dispersed it's collection about 10 years ago.   The uniform is housed in a museum quality glass case in constant humidity and to protect it from UV light.

Homecoming Revival in Pine Prairie, Louisiana

In the last post I mentioned that sometimes the services where it seems God comes so close to us "seem" few and far between. Really there is no reason on God's part that it must be that way. The first three services at Pine Prairie Christian Tabernacle have been proof of that. The Homecoming on Sunday and the services the following two nights have been especially good. Folks have been responding to the singing, testifying and preaching. They have obviously prepared themselves for revival by much prayer and fasting and therefore God is honoring that by drawing us to Him. Praise God for that.

When we as a church get hungry for more of God, I mean really hungry for deeper experiences, God will satisfy that longing in our soul. When we are burdened for lost souls then God will begin to bring them in. When we are genuinely concerned for hurting people then God will bring those people to us and equip us to love them and help them. That is a huge part of revival!

I saw that desire last week in Pastor Jon Issacs and the Zoar church. I see it this week in Pastor Barry Gautreaux and the folks here. That is very exciting. It is an indicator of good things to come because you can count on God to keep His word. God will bring revival to His people in these critical hours if we hunger and thirst after revival. He will save the lost. He will bind up the broken hearted. He will deliver those that are bound. He will bring victory to those that are defeated. Hallelujah!

Can you tell I'm excited about revival? I sure am! I live to see God's people move toward Him because I know He will respond by moving toward us. I am looking for great things this week and next and all year long.

I've posted some pictures below of some the folks here in their newly remodled sanctuary and just a few of the Homecoming meal on Sunday. They have also completed a lot of work outside as well. I will try to take and post some of the outside later.

God bless you as you hunger for revival.
