Ali Elizabeth Boggs

Our baby would have been 25 years old today.

I had grand illusions of writing a nice post but I just can not get the words to come. The emotion comes but the words will not.

She is happy beyond words and we will see her again. We do know that for sure.

Extra Help For Tent Revivals

We realized early in the Tent Revival season last summer that we could not do all the work ourselves. Even with the Millikins joining us for four weeks and the local churches helping with the tent there was still much physical labor to do everyday.

We had considered taking some young men with us for a few weeks but could not seem to come up with anybody so we dropped the idea.

After working my little wife nearly into the ground last summer I knew I had to do something different. I put out the call and several young men responded initially.

We prayed, talked to Pastors, teachers and friends. We eventually settled on two young men. They joined us Saturday and will be with us for five Tent Revivals over the next seven weeks.

They are Caleb Bontreger and Colton Cravatt. Caleb is from Granite City, Illinois and is attending OBI in Neosho, Missouri. Colton is from Tulsa, Oklahoma and is just finishing high school.

Colton


We are glad to have them along for part of the ride this summer. Neither Caleb or Colton have been around tent revivals so I am sure they will gain some hands-on ministry experience and hopefully be rewarded spiritually in the process.

We are providing room and board which being interpreted is a Sunday School room to sleep in and lots of hot dogs, bologna and maybe even some cheeseburgers to eat!

Pray for Caleb and Colton as you pray for us the next several weeks. I would appreciate it.

God bless you all.

First Night of Tent Revival - Paducah, Kentucky

Tent Revival started with a bang here in Paducah tonight. (I am typing this Sunday night) I am praising God for His help and blessing. The crowd was good and as they worshipped the Spirit of the Lord began to work drawing the lost to repentance and giving the saints encouragement. It was wonderful! I appreciate each one that prayed. God heard your prayers! Thank you and thank God! Keep praying... Davy

The rain rolled in after church but the tent seems to be doing well. In fact I am under the tent as I type this on my phone.

The Tent is Up in Paducah, Kentucky

We have never had such a hard time driving stakes as we did Saturday but thanks to the hard work of all the men that came the stakes were driven in and the tent went up without a hitch. Kelly Jo teases me because I am usually a little obsessive about the angle and depth of the stakes but I am just glad to have them in the ground this week.

Praise God the tent is up and we are ready to begin revival tonight. Now that the setup is behind us I am so ready for the Lord to begin to move. Please pray that God draws men and women under the tent as He has each tent revival and that they will surrender to the work of God in their lives.

The weather looks good with a chance of rain only one day. That may change 10 times before tomorrow but God knows exactly what we need. We will keep you posted. I hope you enjoy the pictures...
