Homecoming at Beechfork Holiness Church

There was a big crowd at Beechfork for Homecoming just as we expected. There were folks from several states and it was good to see them. We met some new folks but the majority we had been acquainted with from previous Homecoming services there.

There was lots of good singing and we enjoyed it all. I really felt a burden for the lost so I reached for them as best I could during the preaching. There were several that responded to the altar call and were touched by God and I am very thankful for that.

Only God knows the hearts but I felt like some that did not respond, really needed to pray. Thank God for His mercy, grace and love. I pray that He continues to reach for those that seemed to turn Him away. I do praise God for those that prayed. I talked with most of them after the service and encouraged them to keep coming back to church and building a relationship with God.

I know that some situations seem absolutely impossible but nothing is impossible with God. God can brake the chains that bind us. God can set us free. God can turn us around. God can totally and radically change lives that are surrendered to Him. I believe He did that today.

There were so many people there and we were very busy visiting so we did not take near enough pictures. The meal was awesome and I ate as much food as my grimy little fingers could cram in. Well, maybe not all I could eat, but I did eat good. It was all so wonderful.

Bro. Herman and Sis. Margaret's daughter in law came to Homecoming and brought me some of her special chocolate fudge. I told her that I did not love her only for her fudge but that her fudge reminded my why I love her so much.

We left about 3:45 and drove right into rain. The farther we drove the harder it rained. We made our way across Jellico mountain and down the other side into Kentucky at a very slow pace. It slacked up a little but it still rained on us until we were north of Lexington.

It was nice to drive on dry pavement the last hour or so. We finally made it to our destination about 8:30. We are parked at Anchor of Hope near Lebanon since we will be in revival here Wednesday through Friday. 

This morning we are going to the airport to pick up a special guest for a few days (More on that later) and this evening we have an appointment for CD pictures. No rest on our two days "off" but we would not have it any other way most of the time.

I hope you all had a great weekend.

Revival in Pictures - Beechfork Holiness Church

We have had four great services at Beechfork Holiness Church. Thank God for His blessings this week. It has been great to be with all of our friends once again. In some ways it is difficult to believe that we have been coming here for 25 years. Is that even possible?

Bro. Herman Woods was 48 years old when I first preached here and he was 45 when we met him and Sis. Margaret. I was 21 years old on our first visit to Beechfork and I am 46 years old now. Yes, I guess it is possible that it has been 25 years since that first Homecoming. Wow!

Today is the big Homecoming service. We are expecting to see old friends from all over. In fact some folks from out of town were already in church last night. It should be a great service this morning. If you are reading this Sunday morning, please pray that God will cover me with the Holy Ghost that I might reach somebody in the preaching.

We plan to drive back to Ohio after the Homecoming dinner. We hate to leave our friends but this next week promises to be a busy week with revival and much more. I must prepare for church now so I will let the pictures tell the rest of the Beechfork story.
