God is Still Saving in Richton, Mississippi!

God is still saving folks under the blue and white Gospel tent in Richton, Mississippi!

The services under the tent this week have been excellent. The last two, Tuesday and Wednesday have been super excellent. We have had somebody saved each night and the last two nights several young folks have been in the altar getting saved and seeking deeper experiences in God. It has been simply amazing.

The weather was very threatening Tuesday afternoon and late evening but it settled down during church and the people filled the tent up. Honestly I expected that some would stay away because of the weather but if they did God must have sent two more to take their place. It was a super great crowd.

As I was preaching to the lost I noticed lightening in the sky to the south of us but it was never close enough for us to hear the thunder and it was perfect weather for the great altar service God gave us. I do not know how many were saved Tuesday but there were several. Wow! What a service!

One young man that was in the service text Bro. Scott Wednesday morning wanting to be saved. Bro. Scott asked the young man to meet him at the tent but he was working. Bro. Scott told him to pray right there and them meet him at the tent later. The young man was saved right on his job and was rejoicing in the things God was already doing in his life that evening. Praise God!

Wednesday I did not get to my text. I "slipped" right into preaching from one of our songs and God gave us another great altar service. I am can not tell you all that God was doing in lives but some of the things I do know are miraculous. I should not be surprised because that is what God wants to do in every life, yet I am amazed each time.

One of the great things that happened in the altar service Wednesday night involved a man that was just passing through Richton. He was on his way from a distant state to some where east and was all alone and discouraged. He had even considered taking his own life yesterday but he saw the sign for tent revival and decided to attend. Under the tent, in the altar, that man found what his heart was searching for all along. He found Jesus! Hallelujah!!!

There is no telling what God will do tonight. If you are close enough to get here, come and see for yourself. God bless you all.

Preparations For Nigeria

Things are coming together for our quick trip to Nigeria. We received our Visas from the Nigerian embassy Tuesday. With the Visas approved we were able to purchase our tickets. The tickets have been bouncing in price between $1000 and $1200 the last month or so. When I checked Tuesday afternoon they were $993 each including all taxes and fees so we booked them.

That is the lowest we have paid for tickets to Nigeria in nearly 6 years of going there. I am so thankful for the lower price. They are good flights too. We will have a short flight from Pensacola, Florida to Atlanta and then the overnight flight straight into Lagos, Nigeria. That is the flight we really like since we do not have to make a connection in Europe.

Our flight should arrive in the afternoon in Nigeria. That gives us plenty of time to collect our luggage, meet Bro. Shobanke and make the drive from Lagos to Abeokuta before it gets too late. The dedication service will be the next day, November 2nd, in the afternoon. We are excited to be a part of the special service. It is amazing what God is doing at the new church and we can hardly wait to see it for ourselves.

We plan to leave Odie in Mississippi and the bus in Pensacola, Florida. They both should be in good hands. Please continue to pray that everything will come together. We are getting pretty excited.

Thanks,

Passing the Chips Along!

Wow! Great service last night under the tent in Richton, Mississippi. God spoke to our hearts and met with us in a mighty, mighty way. I guess you will have to trust me on this one if you were not there but the altar service was simply outstanding! Praise God.

We sure appreciate all the visitors that have been coming. Pastor Kenny Morris and several folks from his church in Ellisville were in attendance. I appreciate them making a special effort to be with us in tent revival. They are always a great help. Bro. Kenny and Bro. Scott working together will just about preach a preacher to death and they are some of the best altar workers I have ever seen.

We are looking for more great things tonight.

You may remember that back in August when we were home for Dryden Rd. fellowship meeting that the Hisle's brought some of our favorite Herr's chips. They came bearing precious gifts for the Boggs family. They loved us enough to bring us four bags of Horseradish & Cheddar potato chips from their home town of New Castle, Indiana.



They are true friends!

Well if you desire friends then you ought to be a friend, right? We could not receive such a great blessing and then keep that blessing all to ourselves. We decided to place a portion of that blessing into the ministry. Sis. Galiher loves Herr's Horseradish & Cheddar chips so we gave her one of the bags. That's right. 10% is not good enough for the Galiher's so we gave them 25% of out bounty. They are great people and we are glad we were able to do it!

Well, the Galiher's are generous people too. Rather than keep their one bag to themselves they shared their tremendous blessing with their church folks at the Junction Hill Pentecostal Church Labor Day picnic. I will never understand the will power and self control that Sis. G exercised on their long trip back to Missouri. She must have put those precious chips in the back where she could not get to them. 

She sacrifice so that she might share with friends. They sent the pictures to prove it.

And even Bro. A.E.

I expected to see a picture Hank the church dog with a paw full of Herr's Horseradish & Cheddar Chips. I am sure that with a nose like Hank's the horseradish would be even better!



I do not know how they refused those puppy dog eyes but they said, "Even sharing can be taken too far."

Yes, I suppose there are limits to generosity.

I hope you have a great day.
