Prayer Request for my Dad - Eugene Boggs

I have a prayer request concerning my Dad, Eugene Boggs. Many of our friends have already been told and are praying. But I asked Dad today if I could post this on the blog so more people could pray.

Dad has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and is scheduled for surgery on January 29th. As many of you know there are a variety of treatments for this type of cancer but Dad feels most comfortable with a particular type of surgery so that is what he has opted to do. We support him 100%.

Dad was diagnosed many years ago with an enlarged heart and has had a pacemaker/defibrillator for over five years. It was very doubtful that the heart doctors would approve him for surgery but they have given him the green light. We are asking God to guide the whole process and to give my Dad a complete and quick recovery.

Would you please join us in praying for him? I know that God hears and answers the prayers of His people and that the fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Praise God for that! I know God knows and He cares and He is well able to do what we need him to do.

We are adjusting our schedule to be closer to home during the surgery and the days immediately following. By the providence of God we had already cleared the week of the surgery so we could attend Wednesday night of the Minister's Conference in Pigeon Forge and support our Pastor preaching that night. We may not make it to the conference now but thankfully we were already planning to be on the correct side of the country that week.

We were planning to be back in Oklahoma and Kansas the next two + weeks preaching revivals in three churches. All three of them have been gracious to allow us to cancel so that we could stay near home after Dad's surgery. I hate to miss these revivals but I know in my heart that it is the right thing to do and I am comfortable with the decision.

It looks as though we will be preaching some while in Ohio. I am thankful that there are churches in our home area that love for us to come. That is a tremendous blessing from The Lord. I will post more about those dates when the plans are more clear. I will also update the schedule on the website then too.

Thank you so much for praying. God bless you all.

Very Special Visitors

We had some very special visitors Tuesday night in revival here in Neosho. We had folks all the way from Sullivan, Missouri. That is probably about a four hour drive. We preached several times for Bro. Graham at Sullivan and we love and appreciate the church and family so very much.

Bro. Graham passed away suddenly in late 2010 and now his son in law, Bro. Ryan Martin is the pastor. Bro. Ryan, his wife, their four children, Sis. Graham and Steven Graham came down to be in revival service with us. I was totally surprised and pleased that they came.

God has certainly blessed us with friends and these folks from Sullivan have offered up proof once again that He has. I would not drive four hours to hear me preached. Lol. They stayed around afterward and visited and it was wonderful to spend some time with old friends.

Tuesday night was a really good service. The Lord ministered to several folks and built our faith. I believe we will hear some testimonies of God working in special needs and situations in that service. Praise God.

Tuesday we also made our first visit of the year to El Charro. Bro. and Sis. Zerbel treated us all to lunch and we appreciate it very much.

The food was very good and the fellowship was even better. El Charro has changed their salsa and it is a change for the better. Wow it was good. I think we will be back there again this week.

On a very serious note, we often ask you to pray for us out here on the road. Things can go so wrong so quick and an accident can become a tragedy in a moments time. We were reminded of that again the last two days.

A tour bus from Canada hit black ice on I-84 in Oregon and crashed through the guardrail and went at least 200 feet down an embankment. 9 people were killed and nearly 40 were injured.

That is why we plead with you to pray for us every time we travel. An accident like that could happen so easily. Thank God for His help. Join us in praying for the families of the victims and for the survivors.

God bless you.

The End

... Of 2012

We have ended 2012 in Neosho, Missouri at Victory Assembly. We had a wonderful service on Monday night and great fellowship after church as we said good bye to 2012.

As 2012 ends we also close the books of our 10th consecutive year on the road. It has been a fun ride and we have enjoyed the blessings of God all along the way. I hope to put up a post in the next week or so reflecting back on the last 10 years on the road as evangelists.

As we begin 2013 I want to extend our New Year's greetings to all of the millions that read our blog every day. May God bless you and keep you and your families each day of the year.

If you do not know Christ as your personal savior let me encourage you to call out to him today. You may ask, "How do I do that? How do I know Christ for myself?"

The Bible says, If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

A sincere conversation like that with Jesus will totally and radically change your life. That is what becoming a Christian does every time. He changes every life He enters. You can not add Jesus Christ to your present life. You must yield your life to Him.

You must confess your sins and give Him total control of your life. Surrender all your hurts and hopes, your pain and pleasure, your failures and future to Him. I promise you it will be the best thing you have ever done.

Right here in the beginning of 2013 is the perfect time to make Jesus Christ Lord and Savior in your life. Throw off the temptation to wait for a better time. Now is the perfect time.

I write about a lot of things on this blog in the course of a year. But there is nothing as important as what I am writing about now. I want everyone I meet to be saved. I want everybody that reads this blog to be saved. It is more important than money, more important than position even more important than life itself.

Think about it. Take some time to think it through. God so loved you that He sent His son to bear the penalty for your sin. That who ever believes on Him can be saved. God loves you that much. Think about that and then respond to His love.

Ok, end of sermon. Please email if you have serious questions. Please pray if you are not a Christian. If you take Christ as savior, let me know.

God bless you friends. Thank you for reading our Mile Markers in 2012 and I hope you stay with us in the coming year.

Below are some pictures of our last two nights of 2012 at Victory Assembly with Pastor James Link and his folks and some visitors too. I hope you enjoy them.
