Revival In Pictures - Refuge Holiness Tabernacle

We finished up revival this morning at Refuge Holiness Tabernacle near Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Pastor Larry West and his fine congregation treated us so well and the Lord moved among us in every service. We appreciate God for moving and we appreciate the Refuge folks for rolling out the red carpet for us. We look forward to being with them again by God's grace.

Bro. West and his family moved to the Tuscaloosa area about two years ago with a burden to pioneer a conservative Pentecostal church in the area. God has worked in some great ways to bring them to the point they are today. Praise God for what He has done. They have a good core group of people to build a church around and they are hungry for souls to be save.

I love to see churches with a great desire to see souls saved. That is the heartbeat of the Gospel and we must be preaching and reaching for souls in this hour. I love to partner with churches that are giving the Gospel message to those in their communities. God will bless that every time.

Pastor West and the Refuge Holiness Tabernacle are praying for direction on a permanent building. They would love to find a place to put down root. The West's  really need to sell their house in Chatom, Alabama as well. God is able to help them in those two important matters. Will you join us in praying that God would work for them in miraculous ways? Let us believe God together for notable miracles in each situation.

We are now in the Nashville area. I will be telling you more about that in the coming days. Thanks for praying for us. Please pray that God will help us tomorrow (Monday), especially.

I hope you enjoy the revival pictures.

Prayer Request for Bro. Marty Millikin

Bro. Marty Millikin did not receive the a good report from the doctor concerning the cancer he is battling. He was told yesterday that he still has cancer in his body and that he will need treatment to fight it. Bro. Marty is not feeling well today at all and he has found  some lumps that were not there previously.

Would you please pray now for Bro. Marty Millikin, his parents and for Bro. Jimmy and his family. They urgently need a touch from the Lord. Ask God to heal Bro. Marty's body and to give them peace of mind. We need God to give them a space of victory and to back off the enemy. They are overwhelmed with the fight right now.

Thank you for praying and for asking others to pray. We know that God hears and answers prayer.

Going Into Business

Evidently Kelly Jo and I have went into business in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and we did not even know it. Look what we saw just down the road from the RV Park. This building has four stores and two of them have our names on them.

KJ's Boutique. KJ is what I call Kelly Jo a big part of the time.

Two doors down you will find Davy's Tattoos!

Odie has Smokin' Odie's BBQ in Miami, Oklahoma and we have these businesses here in Tuscaloosa. Either we are not making any money or somebody is holding back on us because we are not receiving any checks!

The wind was pretty strong over night and the rain was hard but we survived. The storm did cool things off pretty good though. It was upper 80's yesterday and it is 49 at 9:30 this morning. That is a big drop.

Revival is going good. Last night we had several visitors again. We had visitors from local churches and we had several folks that needed to be saved. God reached for them during the service but none of them publicly prayed. You never know what is going on in people's lives and hearts.

I pray that God will continue to deal with them and they will reach for God. He is the only hope in this world at all. So many are struggling to survive but all we really need is God. You can live without more money. You can live without more stuff. But you can not live abundantly without God. You can not live eternally without God.

Thanks for praying for us.

Refuge Holiness Tabernacle

We began revival last night for Pastor Larry West at Refuge Holiness Tabernacle near Tuscaloosa. It is our first time here and we are excited to be with them these few nights. Bro. and Sis. West came to Tuscaloosa a little over two years ago to pioneer a holiness church and they are putting everything into the effort. I pray that we can be an encouragement and help to them.

They are having church in a rented building a little east of town. It is a great place to start out and we are looking for God to do big things for these folks as they reach for souls in the Tuscaloosa area. Help us pray for Pastor Larry West and the Refuge Holiness Tabernacle.

After two revivals under the tent, it is a little different going back inside the church. I was wanting to look outside for people sitting in their cars and when I got hot I was wishing for a cool breeze to blow through. Lol. I am sure that before it is over we will feel the wind of the Holy Ghost and that is good enough for me.

The weather here is absolutely beautiful. It is about the warmest temperatures we have had so far this year in the places we have been. They are expecting storms to blow through tonight and the temperature will be considerably cooler the next couple of days. 

The threat of a severe storm makes folks a little nervous around here since the huge tornado that ripped through the area in April of 2011. I can not say that I blame them one ounce. This whole part of the state took a huge hit with over 200 lives lost in Alabama that day. You can not help but view dark skies with a wary eye after that.

Kelly Jo is hard at work on practicing for our new recording. I need to take some pictures of her piano set up in the bus. There is not much room for anything else!

Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy the pictures from church last night. There are a few special ones in there.

This is baby Carrington in the picture below. She is Bro. and Sis. West's very first grandchild. Last night was her first night at church. She was the star attraction and is going to be for quite a while. That is just as it should be. She is beautiful and very well behaved.

When Carrington is there does it really matter that Casey and Christiane are also there?

That's a proud grandmother peaking over Mama's shoulder below.



They let Odie hold her in spite of my dire warnings about her dropping other babies...

And Kelly Jo found a big bug in the parking lot of Huddle House after church. Yes that is a cigarette laying in the gutter but it is not KJ's cigarette. Lol. It happened to be laying there and it was a good tool to help you see the size of the bug.
