Scheduled Time Off

Make sure you read yesterday's post HERE.

We spent our three days off near Springfield in Ozark, Missouri parked in the little gravel parking lot RV park behind Lambert's Cafe, the home of throwed rolls. Of course we ate at Lambert's a time or two.



One thing we crave at times is sitting outside and watching the sun go down. We miss this because most nights we are in church. We sat outside all three evenings and enjoyed it so much. The weather each evening was beautiful.





v

Kelly Jo and Odie spent some time kicking around Springfield and Branson which is only 30 miles from Lambert's. I spent most of each day resting, reading and taking care of paper work that has to be done to keep things rolling. I also did some work on the bus and messed with the trailer some but nothing serious.

Thursday afternoon we all drove to Branson and met Bro. Jimmy and Sis. Shauna Millikin, their children and Bro. Marty Millikin at Sight and Sound. We have heard quite a bit about Sight and Sound in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and in Branson but we had never been. This year they are doing a live production of the life of Joseph and it was amazing.

I love the story of Joseph. You can see the providence of God all through his life and his incredible forgiveness of his brothers is both inspiring and convicting. 








We topped the evening off with another visit to Lambert's. We really enjoyed the fellowship and the meal. We love working with the Millikins and we love and cherish them as dear friends.










This afternoon we made our way to Miami, Oklahoma and everything is measured, marked and ready to raise the tent Saturday morning. We had a nice meal and great fellowship with Bro. John and Sis. Julie Stephens this evening. We are looking forward to lots more of that.

God bless you all...

Time to Confirm Your Arrangements In Montana

I mentioned the July Tent Revival on the blog back in January. Pastor Metzger issued a broad welcome for every one to attend in March. You can read those original posts HERE and HERE.

We have had several folks from around the country express a strong desire to join us in Montana for this Tent Revival. Pastor Mike Metzger and the Sun Valley Church have embraced wholeheartedly the idea of God's people converging in support of the meeting. It would be incredible if you could make plans to support with your presence this great church in their effort to affect their community. You could combine a chance to encourage home missions with a beautiful Montana family vacation. The weather should be gorgeous and I know you will love the people.

Have you considered joining us in Montana? I know many have thought about making the trip and have mentioned to us and/or the Metzger's that you would like to be a part of this tent revival. Now is the time to put your plans into action. The dates are fast approaching and you need to make arrangements if you are going. 

Bro. and Sis. Metzger have compiled a list of Motels and Campground within reasonable proximity to their church. Their church is also making room for 22 people to stay in homes of the church folks as you will read below. That is a very generous and gracious offer. However they need to know who and how many are going so that they can make final plans as soon as possible. Please call the number below and discuss your plans with Sis. Metzger. In fact, it would be good if you would call them if you are going, even if you plan to stay in a Campground or Motel.

Keep in mind that the Missoula airport is only 30 minutes from the church and there are various rental car agencies at the airport.

Many that would LOVE to go but are not able to attend for various reasons are praying fervently that God would saturate this revival with His presence in a mighty and powerful way. We appreciate that very much. We are praying that God will move in the lives of people in the Florence/Lolo/Missoula area whether anyone else is able to attend or not. If you could join us in that effort I am sure you could be a great blessing in that respect. 

We plan to leave Kansas by July 9th and arrive no later than the 13th. Since we are pulling the big tent trailer we will not be able to zip out as we would in a car. We plan to raise the tent on the 13th and have a dedication service on Saturday the 14th. We will kick off Tent Revival Sunday the 15th and run through the 22nd. You can read more of the particulars in Bro.Metzger's post from March.

Below is the letter from the Metzgers with great information about places to stay.

Tent Revival Excitement

Odie’s View
From The Back.”
   Hello to everyone out there in newsletter land.  I am coming to you live today from Claremore, Oklahoma.  But first lets take a news break.
   I left you last time in Tifton, Georgia.  We had great time with Pastor Tony Walker and the folks at Pineview Holiness Baptist.  When we are with the Walkers we laugh over old times and make new memories along the way.  We will definitely not forget this time.
   Easter 2012 we were in Evansville, Indiana.  It is amazing to watch God move for Pastor John Eaton and the congregation at Full Gospel Mission. We love going there every chance we can.
   Next on the schedule was R&R.  We had planned this for over a year.  Mom and Dad went into seclusion and I went home to be with family.  It was wonderful for all us!!!
   During that time I was able to attend Pentecostal Fire Youth Conference.  I was so happy Aunt Karen Boggs allowed me to tag along with her, Deidre and Mekenzie Noel.  PFYC is an awesome experience!!  This year around 6,000 Holiness people gathered in Louisville, Kentucky desiring a move of God in our lives.
   I had a wonderful time with lots of family and friends during the R&R.  Thanks to all of you for putting up with me!! 
   It is always a treat to catch a few services at the our home church at Dryden Road Pentecostal Church.  We are blessed with the privilege to call Bro. Bennie Sutherland our pastor.  I love him, Sis. Jane and our church so much!!
   Finally it was time to get in the saddle again.  It was nice to be in revival close to home a couple of weeks.  Corwin Pentecostal Church is just down the hill from where my Dad was raised.  The church is  full of family history for us.  Many of these folks had a great influence on my Dad as a boy. We were honored when Pastor Acy Lamb invited us.  God blessed us with a wonderful revival!!!
   We always enjoy being with Pastor Bill Lamb at Anchor of Hope in Lebanon, Ohio.  This time was no exception.  The Lord blessed from the beginning to the end of the meeting.
   Bro. Shobanke from Nigeria was in the U.S. at that time.  We had the blessing of having him with us a couple days.  He was a great blessing to the revival at Anchor and to our family.
   On Mothers Day we began revival in Brooks, Kentucky.  It is a great honor for us to be with Pastor Doug Webb.  God is blessing their labor at Calvary Holiness.  We were thrilled to be a part of it for a few services.
   Then it was time for the blue and white gospel tent to go up in Paducah, Kentucky. It was a big job to get the tent up this time.  It was on very solid ground.  Many people worked for hours to get it set up.
   Pastor T. L. Futral and the folks at Paducah Holiness were ready for revival.  God visited us greatly each night in the altar services.  He saved, encouraged and healed.
   During five of our tent revivals this summer we have added Bro. Caleb Bontrager and Bro. Colton Cravatt to our team. They have helped a lot with the labor of the tent meetings and also helping shoulder the burden of the services.  We are blessed to have them with us!
   From Paducah we traveled to Owensburg, Indiana.  From our arrival in town we had several obstacles to work through but the church people of Tunnel Hill were amazing in helping us get passed them!!
   The revival was great.  We had sinners praying and church people receiving help.  It was scheduled to go Sunday- Friday.  On Friday night Dad and  Pastor Dallas Lakes felt like extending six more services.  Everything fell into place for it to be possible and God continued to meet us each service in a special way.
   Thanks to Pastor John DiZazzo and the Bethany Revival Center for allowing us to reschedule.  We hope to see you soon!! You all are great!
   Tent Revival is in full swing at Westside Holiness Church.  We are excited to be working with Pastor Darrell Meadow, and Bro. Jimmy and Sis. Shauna Millikin.
   Well, I hear the engine starting so I better go ‘cause we’re On the Road Again.
