A Great Sunday

We did not take many pictures yesterday (Sunday) but it was a great day. We had church inside the sanctuary in the morning and under the tent Sunday night. Both services were very good.









Just as we were setting up the sound a storm blew over so we pulled down the wall around the equipment. The worst of the storm went around us so we had pleasant weather for the service. I praise God for His touch last night.

It has been raining like crazy all morning today but it is supposed to be better at church time tonight. We are planning to have church under the tent tonight through Wednesday. There is some chance of rain in the forecast each day but we are expecting God to help us. There is no telling what He will do.




Sis. Tonya Switzer prepared an awesome meal Sunday. This is just a sampling of all she had to offer at her table.


Wow, it was so good. She is a tremendous cook. We really enjoyed the meal and we also enjoyed being in their home.

Bro. and Sis. Switzer are an integral part of this church and Bro. and Sis. Horton are so glad to have them here assisting them. Sis. Tonya is the oldest daughter of Bro. and Sis. Horton. She and Bro. Michael have jumped right in to share the burden of pioneering this church. Together they all make a wonderful team.

God is blessing their efforts in building a church in Bristol. God has saved several already in the few months that they have been here and is reaching for many others. We are so glad to be here in support of this new work. I believe God is going to give them a great increase.

God bless you all.

Saturday May 18, 2013

There is a beautiful park near the church here in Bristol. The entrance is probably less than 1/2 mile from the church. They had a picnic planned at 3:00 with a service under the pavilion afterward. It was all a resounding success. The food was great, the fellowship was great and the Spirit of the Lord was near during the service. It does not get much better than that.












We plan to have church inside the sanctuary tomorrow (Sunday) morning and then continue tent revival Sunday through Wednesday. God is moving and we are excited to see what else He has in store for Pastor Horton and these fine folks.

The service Friday night was awesome. It was raining as we started so we had to roll the side walls down. However, we had the biggest crowd of the week and a wonderful service. Praise God for His help.

Please continue to pray for my cousin Annette Cook. She is fighting cancer and she fell a couple of days ago and hit her head and she is not doing well. She must have a miracle to live. Please pray for Annette and her family.

Tent Revival In Pictures - Bristol, Virginia

I posted Odie's Newsletter yesterday.

We are having a great tent revival with Pastor David Horton and Grace Pentecostal Tabernacle in Bristol, Virginia. God is helping folks in the altar service each and every night. The first two nights were cool but the weather has been near perfect since then. We have a little rain in the forecast the next few days but we expect it to be fine.

Tomorrow (Saturday) we are meeting at a nearby park in the afternoon. The plan is to eat and fellowship and then have a little service there under a pavilion. Of course, we are looking forward to a great service tonight under the Blue and White Gospel Tent.

As I normally do in these posts, I will let the pictures tell the rest of the story.

These three pictures were taken from the edge of tent look over the hill toward the south.




The church is on Battle Hill Rd. and John S. Battle High School is above it. This picture is from the road in front of the school. By the time Bro. Horton and his folks are finished with this place it will be known as Pentecostal Hill!
