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.

Tent Goes Up in Waynesville, Ohio

We set the tent up in Waynesville, Ohio Thursday evening. We appreciate all the help to put it up. We sure can not do it by ourselves. We had great fellowship and worked hard too. Revival starts tonight and we are looking forward to seeing what God is going to do in our home town. 

Please pray for us the next several nights that God will visit us in a special way.

God bless,

Davis Family Reunion

We were blessed to attend one night of the Davis Family Reunion as they traveled through Ohio one night this week. Sis. Davis is celebrating her 80th Birthday and most of the family came together for five nights in five states to sing, shout, rejoice, preach and reminiscence. It was a wonderful night. Sis. Davis and all five children, Ruth, George, Jimmy, Bobby, Eugene and their spouses and lots of grand kids and great-grand kids were able to make the trip. They have over 40 people traveling in typical Davis fashion and having a ball doing it. It was great to see them and to hear them all sing again. 

They will be in Paducah, Kentucky tonight and wrap it up in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Friday night.

Here are a few pictures. Most of the time I was too busy clapping, crying and laughing to remember to snap a picture.

God Bless,

Davy

At Home

If you have been gone from the blog for a few days you need to check out the last two posts. You can see them Here and Here.

We are in Ohio busy preparing for Tent Revival that is scheduled to start on Friday, August 12 at 7:30. Please pray that God will save many souls here in our hometown and encourage many saints as well. We plan to set up the tent on Thursday evening at 6 so if you are in the area and would like to help, come on down!

Yesterday we attended our home church at Dryden Rd. and we were blessed to hear our Pastor, Bennie Sutherland preach. We really enjoyed the service and the fellowship after church as well. 

Last night I preached at Corwin Pentecostal Church. Corwin is a church about a mile over the hill from where I was raised. I attended youth services and Sunday School there a lot when I was a teenager and went to Youth Camp with them for a bunch of years. It had been several years since I had been there and we enjoyed being with those folks again. Pastor Acy W. Lamb and his congregation received us very warmly and we appreciate it so much.

EDIT:
My Brother Tommy figured out how to post flyer. Thanks Tommy

I was going to post the flyer for the Tent Revival on the blog but it is in PDF form and I can't figure out how to post it. I think I am overlooking something simple but if anybody is familiar with Blogger and you can help me I would be indebted to you.

God bless you all.
