Update on Tent Revival in Ohio

It is hard to believe we are nearing the end of Tent Revival in Waynesville. We started last Friday and the time has flown by. We have had good crowds and good services. The folks from the area churches and the community have been so kind and generous in their attendance and support of the revival. We are receiving good reports each day of people listening in the distance and enjoying the singing and preaching. Several have let us know they appreciate our efforts to reach out with the Gospel. We are expecting great things these remaining two nights as well.

The Millikins have been a great blessing this week. It is so good to work with them again. We enjoy parking with them and getting to fellowship with them as well. They are a talented ministry team with a great heart for God and to see people touched by God. This is our fourth week to work with them this summer and we love and appreciate them more than ever. It is going to be sad to see them pull away and head to their next revival in Indiana on Saturday. Bro. Millikin preached so good Wednesday night and God met us in the altar.

We have been eating and fellowshipping with the Millikins and our families almost every day and every night. That has been fun as well. We have stopped by to visit Mr. Big Boy at Frisch's more than once and he always has a smile for us. Last night I snapped a picture of little Carli and my nephew Jonas with Big Boy. That is the first picture below. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for the prayers and encouragement.

We are parked at Dodds Church with the Millikins. We appreciate Pastor Rex Loyd and the Dodds Church for allowing us to park there. It is a great blessing. We will be preaching the Homecoming at Dodds on Sunday the 21st at noon. If you are in the area we would love to have you there.

Saturday and Sunday Tent Revival Pictures

We had great services under the tent on Saturday and Sunday nights and great fellowship as well. Below are a few pictures. We are so thankful to the people that have been attending and for the Spirit of God that has met with us each night. Please continue to pray that God will help us in these meetings and that folks will respond to the call of God.

Sunday Night

First Night of Tent Revival in Waynesville, Ohio

It felt good to be under the tent singing, preaching and praying in our home town last night. I have been involved in outdoor outreach services all over the country and last night while I was preaching I was wondering what took me so long to get here! The weather was near perfect, the crowd was good and the Spirit of the Lord was near. I can't say for anybody else but I really enjoyed the first service.

We had several folks listening in their cars during the service last night. Some even stepped out of their vehicles during the preaching.With the tent being right in town there is no telling how many people heard the Gospel last night and will hear it all next week. If you can't tell, I am very thrilled with the potential of what God can do in this revival. With all the uncertainty in the world, we need to proclaim the message loud and clear that Jesus Christ the Son of God, God in the flesh is the Rock we can depend on! Please pray that many will surrender to the call of the Holy Ghost and give their lives to Christ. 

The Millikins made it in yesterday afternoon after a long hard trip from Oklahoma. They are planning to be with us for the whole revival and we are excited about that. They sang and testified last night and blessed the service. I am thankful that Bro. Jimmy and Sis. Shauna are here to take part in this revival. They added so much to the Tent Revivals in Oklahoma and Kansas in June and I can see that God is going to use them in Waynesville as well. We will not be having service on Sunday morning under the tent so our Pastor, Bro. Bennie Sutherland invited Bro. Millikin to preach at Dryden Rd. Sunday morning. If you are in the area and can go to Dryden Rd. I am sure you will be blessed by their ministry.

We will be having church each night including Sunday at 7:30 by His grace. We are looking for great things from God as we seek his face for revival in our home town of Waynesville, Ohio.

We did not take many pictures last night but here are a few. We hope to put more up as the week progresses.
