A Few More Vacation Pictures

With all the excitement of revival, preparation for City Reach in three different cities, an oil change on the Green Machine and a couple visits to the tire store I missed the blog yesterday. That is pretty rare for us but it does happen occasionally. Sorry if I kept you hanging.

I appreciate all the positive response to the blog Tuesday and the blog last week about City Reach. There really feels like a lot of excitement is building and I know that many people are praying for eternal results. The Pastor and folks in Wichita are working hard to bring it all together and by the time we put the tent in the air September 5th they should be just about ready. I hope some of you are making plans to come and be with us September 6-13 in Wichita.

We have pretty good internet signal here at South Mission so I thought I should post a few pictures from our Vacation. It seems like a distant memory and almost seems like a dream until we look at the pictures. Kelly took some great pictures with Odie's good Canon camera on the trip and that is where the pictures below came from.

They are all from the ship and are just sample of pictures we have. I hope you enjoy.

The Hubbard Glacier was awesome!

City Reach Richton, Mississippi

Richton, Mississippi

We are excited to join with the churches of Richton, Mississippi again this year under the Blue and White Gospel tent proclaiming the love of God and the message of salvation and hope to the broken, the needy and the lost. We have enjoyed working with Pastor Scott Morris and Richton First Assembly the last several years to reach the people in Richton and we are looking forward to doing so again this year.

Bro. Scott and his folks were having tent revival in the city's Recreation Park in Richton for at least a year or two before they invited us to be a part of it. God has blessed their outreach and we are very pleased to have participated since 2011. Numerous lives have been touched, souls saved and bodies healed in the tent revival in Richton.

City Reach

As you know, though City Reach we are expanding our tent revivals into several larger cities over the next year. City Reach is the vision of Boggs Family Ministries to promote revival in metropolitan areas across North America through the preaching of the Gospel in demonstration of the Spirit and power. Our cities, our nation, our families must have revival. Our nation is suffering in sin and the Christ is the solution. We know the Gospel changes lives and the world must hear the message. We want to help deliver that message, plain and simple.

Richton Connection

A fact that you may not know is that the vision for City Reach was birthed under the tent right there in the small town of Richton, Mississippi. I was deeply moved as churches and town people came together the last few years with Richton First Assembly to extend the Gospel message to their neighbors and friends. I saw God doing something there that I knew He would do in larger cities.

The fire for City Reach began to burn in me right there in Richton, Mississippi. What started there will be duplicated all over the USA. Souls are going to be saved, lives are going to be radically changed, families are going to be healed and God is going to receive all the glory. God is going to help folks from Phoenix to Washington D.C. and lots of cities in between because of what originated in tent revivals in a city park in Richton, Mississippi!

City Reach Richton!

It is only fitting that we bring a City Reach campaign to Richton where it all began. City Reach Richton will begin on Friday September 18th and run through Friday September 25th. We plan to roll into town by Wednesday or Thursday and set the tent up Thursday night and I feel the excitement already.

The 48'x70' tent has been near capacity the last two years so we are putting up the new section in Richton this year to make it 48'x92'. I am confident they are going to fill it up again, Hallelujah! God is going to move in City Reach Richton! I know that God is going to bless First Assembly in Richton as they reach out to their community because they have been so instrumental in catching and promoting the vision of City Reach all over the USA. That is the way God works!

We would love for you to come and participate in City Reach. Wichita , Kansas September 6-13 or Richton, Mississippi September 18-25, 2015 would be good places to start. Put together a City Reach Crew and come put your shoulder to the wheel. You sure are welcome!

Thanks for Reading.

Weekend Wound Up and Weview August 10

We wrapped everything up at the Lazy OD Ranch Friday morning and pulled out for Oklahoma about 10:15 AM. It was nice to be on the road again but it sure seemed like a long road ahead of us as we skirted around Cincinnati. But about 10 and a half hours later we were pulling into Stage Stop RV Park right behind Lambert's Cafe (The home of the throwed roll) with almost 610 miles behind us.

Stage Stop has been a very familiar stop for us the last several years. I think we have been in there with every vehicle and RV configuration we have traveled in the last 13 years. It is just a gravel parking lot but the spots are long pull thru sites with water, sewer and 50 amp. The price has been super at $20 plus it has very good wifi and did I mention it is right behind Lambert's Cafe (The home of the throwed roll).

We debated about driving on to Coachlight RV Park in Carthage, Missouri but I had already driven over my self imposed limit for the day and I was way ready to stop. After we were parked I realized I might have made a mistake.

Stage Stop is 13 miles out of our way but that is no problem since it is four lane road and it is cheap with good electric, really good wifi and Lambert's (The home of the throwed roll) is close by. However, Lambert's was not on the agenda Friday night, the wifi must have had molasses poured in it and the price had gone up to $25. Thankfully the water and electric was still available.

I really needed to upload some large files on an unlimited connection but it was not happening there. Even so Stage Stop is still a pretty good bargain especially if you are going to Lambert's Cafe  (The home of the throwed roll).

Speaking of bargains, I filled up the diesel tank on the BoggsMobile in Sullivan, Missouri for $2.34 a gallon. Wow! Praise God! I would love it cheaper but $280 is incredible. That same fill up has cost $536 at $4.50 per gallon and would have cost me $353 at the price we paid in January.

I know that the low price of oil really hurts a bunch of our friends that work in that business. There must be a happy medium some where. How about a fair price for oil so folks can make a living and a fair price for a gallon of gas and diesel so a family can afford to drive?

We left Ozark early Saturday in order to beat the heat in Oklahoma. I do not like to drive in extreme heat and subject my tires and equipment to the extra abuse. I avoid it when all possible. It was still in the upper 80's or low 90's when we arrived in Broken Arrow about 10:30.

Saturday evening we met Bro. and Sis. Rich and several more friends for a great meal at Los Cabos a few miles away. It was wonderful as usual!

It was awesome to see Bro. Chuck and Sis. Lyndsey Spencer and their kids this weekend. They were passing through on their way home to California. It is always great to see them. They surprised us last year by walking into a revival at Beechfork Holiness Church near Wartburg, Tennessee. I can not wait to see where they pop up next year! We plan to see them soon in California.

We began revival with an outstanding service on Sunday morning. It was a tremendous blessing to see folks responding to the preaching in the altar and then to watch God responding to them. Praise God! Sunday night was another great service. I think this is going to be a fantastic week.

We had some more friends in church with us Sunday as well. Bro. Seth and Sis. Anna Hoover visited Sunday morning and they brought their beautiful baby girl with them.

That is about it for now. I hope you enjoy the pictures. Thanks for reading.
