A Wonderful Night In Wichita!

Tuesday night was a wonderful night in Wichita, Kansas! We were invited to First Church of God in Christ by Pastor Don Crowley to share our burden for City Reach Tent Revivals. We are planning to join with Pastor Crowley and Pastor John DiZazzo along with their churches to bring City Reach to Wichita in September of 2015. It will be our kickoff of City Reach that will run all the way through 2016.

New Horizon church was represented in the service too. We hope they and other churches will be able and willing to join with us to reach out to the people of Wichita that need to be saved, healed and delivered. If last night's service is any indication, and I believe it is, we are going to have a great City Reach meeting here.

It was Pastor Crowley's idea for me to preach my vision to his people. He has caught the vision and Pastor DiZazzo has caught the vision but they wanted their people to catch it as well. I thought it was a wonderful idea and I believe that God helped me communicate my heart to the saints that were there in the service last night. God moved among us in a wonderful way.

I like the idea so much that we may spend next December visiting at least some of the cities on the schedule for City Reach 2016 and do the same thing we did here last night. If the saints catch on fire then we will all burn that much brighter for Christ and have more affect on lost souls.

I really appreciate Bro. Crowley and Bro. DiZazzo joining with us for City Reach Wichita. I think God has big plans for Wichita.

We have a few pictures from last night. We arrived at First Church of God in Christ in the afternoon but I forgot to take a picture of the church in the daylight. I did get a picture of the BoggsMobile before church but there was not enough light to do much more. Maybe I can get a picture this morning before we leave and add it in.

Thanks for reading.

I Wanna Be There For Odie's Miracle!

For whatever reason the videos below did not embed properly for some computers. (Thanks Tommy for the heads-up.) I have added a direct link to each clip and redid the embed.

We told you back in September of 2013 about a song on the Isaacs latest CD titled "I Wanna Be There." It was written by Jimmy Yeary, Sonya Isaacs Yeary and Rebecca Isaacs Bowman

The first verse is written about Gordon Mote and the second verse is about Odie. It is an awesome song about folks receiving their miracles in Heaven IF they do not receive them here and I wanna be there when they do receive it. I wanna be there when the blind man sees for the first time. I wanna be there when the crippled girl runs for the first time.

We have heard the Isaacs do it live a few times but we have never been able to get a good recording of it. Here is a YouTube clip of the album version. If you know Odie, I dare you to listen to it without tears.

Here's The Link



Here is a live version filmed by a fan from the crowd.

It is a beautiful song! I mention it again for two reasons. One we have been asked several time lately by people that have heard the song if it is about Odie. Yes, in fact it is about Odie.

This is from the liner notes



Gordon Mote and Odie Boggs



Secondly, the reason more people are asking is because more people are hearing it. The Isaacs and their label have release the song as a single to radio and it is climbing the Singing News Gospel Charts. It will be #20 in next month's magazine. That is pretty neat!

If you have a southern gospel station call them or drop them an email and tell them you appreciate the song. If you listen on XM send Enlighten an email and thank them for playing it too.

Hey, if you see the Isaacs in person let them know you love them loving on Odie with that song. God knows how we desire the miracle for Odie. One of these days We Will Receive it!

You can buy the song or whole project on iTunes or you can order the CD HERE.

A Weekend in Blanchard, Oklahoma

We arrived in Blanchard, Oklahoma mid afternoon Saturday. Since we only had once chance to scratch our itch for Oklahoma Mexican food we rushed around and made time for Tarahumara's in Norman.

It was very, very good as usual.

Our first revival for Bro. Lendell and Sis. Cyndi Birdsong was in January of 1993 and we fell in love with them and their church then. These folks have been faithful friends all these years and we love it when we have a chance to be with them.

We had a good service Saturday night. Here are a few pictures from Saturday.

They have an outreach service in the fellowship hall Sunday morning and we were blessed and honored to preach in that service. I love preaching to folks that know they need God to help them and it is a great privilege to point them to Jesus as the help they need. We had a wonderful service and great response in the altar.

We heard the testimony of one of the men in the service. He came a few weeks ago on Sunday morning as a newly homeless man not believing that God existed at all. By the time that service was over he was saved and was throwing away his drugs. He brought his wife the next Sunday and she was saved. He now has a job and a place to live and he was so thankful for the grace of God. It was awesome!

Sunday night we had another great service in the church.

We were so glad to see Bro. Jimmie Radcliffe Sunday night. He drove down from the Tulsa area to be with us and was a blessing to us.

We sure appreciate Bro. Birdsong inviting us to his church this weekend. We enjoyed it so much. Our plan is to leave for Wichita this morning. Kelly Jo and I plan to clean out our storage unit and load up the stuff that needs to go to Ohio in a U-Haul trailer. We will have Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning to get it done so we need to get right on it.

Tuesday night we will have service and Wednesday morning we will head toward Ohio by God's grace. I hope you had a great weekend too. God bless you for reading.
