Youth Service in Wichita, Kansas

It is good to be back with our friends at Bethany Revival Center in Wichita, Kansas. This is the 11th year in a row that Bro. DiZazzo has invited us for revival. We are always excited to come back but they must be gluttons for punishment!

We first visited here way back in the last century. It was in 1999 shortly after we moved to Wichita to pastor at New Horizon. We were hungry for fellowship so we started looking for conservative pentecostal churches. I believe that Bethany Revival Center was the first church we visited.

Bro. and Sis. DiZazzo and their church were very kind to us that night and that started friendships that continue until this day. I am sure it was not completely comfortable walking into a new church that night. We did not know one person. We probably felt like everybody in the building was looking at us like we each had two heads!

But it was worth it! They received us warmly and all these years later we have friends that we can not imagine doing without. It makes me want to go out and be nice to somebody for the fun of it!

Bethany was re-launching their monthly youth service Friday night. I was thrilled to be ask to be a part of it. It was a great service. I really enjoyed preaching to the young people. Something happened that I do not think has ever happened to me in the USA. I am always asking for 100% participation in the altar service and last night I got it!

Yes sir! 100% of those young people came down to the altar and prayed. It was wonderful. Praise God for it! It was not a big crowd but it was a 100% crowd. I can not ask for more than that!

Tomorrow we begin revival. I am excited to see what the Lord is going to do in these services! Please pray for us.

Quick Trip To Oklahoma

Even though it has been raining cats and dogs since we have been in Wichita the BoggsMobile had to be washed. It had accumulated over 2000 miles of road grime and I could stand it no longer. 

So washing the bus was the first thing on the adgenda Thursday morning. That feels a lot better. 

Kelly Jo and I had burritos from another local place for lunch. We had the Carne Asada Burrito and it was pretty good. It's not Humberto's in Phoenix but that is a pretty high standard. 

We all jumped in the car and headed for Claremore, Oklahoma for the evening. We had not seen the Millikin's since Bro. Marty has been having health problems so we really wanted to visit with them. 

Sis. Millikin has been diagnosed with cancer as well and she began her treatments Wednesday. Bro. Millikin has been having eye surgeries so they all need God to help them. 

After visiting and having prayer we went with Bro. Marty, Bro. Jimmy and Sis. Shauna to Los Cabos for supper. It was very good as usual but visiting with our dear friends was even better. 

Please continue to pray for the Millikin family. We know God is able to help them. We believe that He will do it. 

After supper we started back to the bus and arrived about midnight. Thank God for a good day.

New Horizon Holiness Church

Yesterday was spent taking care of errands and business but lunch was not neglected. We ate at a little place right across the street from Bethany Revival Center.  

It is a buffet of pretty authentic Mexican food called Los Reyes and it was pretty good. It was by far the best local Mexican food we have ever had in Wichita. 

And it is right across the street from the church!

Last night we went to church at New Horizon Holiness and had a wonderful time. Pastor Marlin Rogers insisted that I preach so I did the best I could. 

I am not sure how it sounded but I felt great trying. That's not the best way to judge preaching though. Lol But I really enjoyed preaching last night. 

It was so good to see the folks again. They are very dear to our hearts and it is always great to be able to worship with them and to visit with them. 

I appreciate Bro. Rogers and the folks receiving us so warmly. It means so much to us. God bless you all.

We also had a pretty special thing happen Wednesday. I can not explain it all here but it was tremendous for us. 

God answered a very specific prayer for our family yesterday. It is something we have prayed about for well over 12 years. Hallelujah! God is faithful and righteous!

It is amazing to watch God work. He may not come when you want Him but He'll be there right on time. He's an on time God, Yes He is! Praise God!

We hope to spend time with some more special friends today. Have a great day!
