City Reach OKC-Revival In Pictures

We have been having a great week under the Blue and White Gospel tent in Oklahoma City. It is amazing that City Reach OKC is nearly over. We have prayed and planned for so long and now it is time to wind it down. Thank God for His help and His strength and His grace!

We will have one more service tonight and then we will take the tent down and pack it away if all goes well. I might be able to get by with the tent being slightly damp since it will go back up in Dayton in seven days but I would really rather it be bone dry. We will see how it goes.

Before we are finished though we have one more service to look forward to. We are expecting great things tonight including a bunch of folks getting saved. Please pray that I am sensitive to the move of God and allow Him to speak His Word through the preaching. He knows exactly what we need to hear.

Now we will share the pictures that have been taken so far. I hope you enjoy City Reach OKC in Pictures.

Thanks for reading.

Summary of City Reach Ft. Worth

Today's post is Summary of City Reach Ft. Worth. I am still moved when I think about folks that were touched during that meeting. I appreciate the churches and Pastors that carried our burden. Their efforts made the difference and God blessed it all.

We are now in the midst of our second City Reach campaign since we finished up in Ft Worth but I want to share some thoughts and the links for City Reach Ft Worth with you.

City Reach Ft. Worth was a success because of the participation of the local churches and the Pastors. They prayed, they worked, they worshiped and they witnessed. I do not want to even attempt this without the local churches. Their input, their prayers, and their participation are critical to the success of these meetings.

Therefore I am thrilled when Pastors and churches join in the effort and see the benefit of joining with us to reach souls. You hear me talk about City Reach all the time. You hear me talk about people praying and lives that are touched. But I think it is important for you to hear that from a different perspective.

Two of the Pastors involved in City Reach have written their perspective and I want to pass their thoughts on to you. 

From Pastor Richard Franks:

I was thrilled to be a part of Fort Worth City Reach. The response to the out reach was amazing. To see the needs of hurting souls being met was such a blessing. Our burden to go out into the hi-ways and hedges and compel them to come in has been renewed. Working with the Boggs family and the area Pastors has been a pleasure.

From Pastor J.J. Stevens:

City Reach Fort Worth

     What a tremendous time we had at City Reach Fort Worth! It was an eye opening experience. I feel as though we have tried to be sensitive to souls around us. I thought we understood that there were people hurting around us, but I didn't realize just how many. It seemed as though that everyone that prayed at City Reach were hurting. Every one of them were presented with the Gospel for help and hope for their hurting hearts. It was so encouraging to see those receive the help that they needed. There was someone praying for salvation just about every night. Several nights there was more than one in the altars praying for salvation. Also, there were two that testified of healing. For this, our church will not be the same!

     We are thankful for the opportunity to try to continue to help a few of those that prayed at City Reach. There is nothing better for a church than to have new converts! Since City Reach, we have had visitors just about every service. Some are friends we made during the revival, but others have just walked in over the last few weeks. It seems like God is still blessing the prayers and efforts our church put into City Reach Fort Worth.

     I am thankful for the opportunity to work with Bro. Jack Blankenship, Bro. Richard Frank, and Bro. Phillip Bernard. I appreciate their fellowship and friendships! 

     Also, thank you to the Boggs Family Ministries and Bro. Jimmy Radcliffe. The burden they have for the lost and broken is stirring, their organization and efficiency is inspiring, and their commitment to City Reach is convicting. Thank God for brothers and sisters in Christ that are willing to reach the lost at all cost!

     Lastly, I am thankful for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! It is He that saves, sets free, delivers, and heals us. What great hope there is in Him!

City Reach Dayton Location

Tuesday night of City Reach OKC was tremendous! God held the rain off until the service was over and God saved some folks in the process. I absolutely loved it. Thank you for praying for the services. It is working!

City Reach Dayton Location

We are still working out some of the final details of City Reach Dayton but we are ready to announce the location. This has been one of the most challenging cities to find a location AND get permission from the property owners. A few men in the Dayton area have been diligent to help me look but every time I asked for permission, I came up empty.

The last several weeks I have been going over locations and making phone calls and waiting for a call back. Last week I received two calls on two different locations I had inquired about. One of the locations was my very first choice. The owner was very willing to let us use the property but the dates did not work out and conflicted with a business he is opening.

The other call was about a location right near I-75 near downtown. We had noted this location back in August and had driven passed it again in December. One of the men looking for locations for me had also suggested it. It is not a perfect location. It does have the visibility of I-75 but I-75 also separates the location from an ideal City Reach neighborhood. Not perfect but still very good and hopefully right where God wants us.

The city of Dayton was very accommodating in the permitting process and I can foresee one lady in a certain city office getting a very nice fruit tray or something when I get there. She was that good, that kind and that efficient! I LOVE talking to and working with nice people that seem like they are trying to make life easier and not more difficult.

City Reach Dayton will be held at 601 N. Main St. Dayton, Ohio July 10-15, Sunday-Friday. Service on Sunday will begin at 6:30 and Monday-Friday will begin at 7:30. The location is just south of I-75 on the west side of North Main St.

We are excited and a lot of folks around Dayton are excited too. Please continue to pray that God will have His will and way in Dayton and in our lives. Make plans to come be with us too!

Thanks for reading.
