Pictures of The Tent Going Up In Richton, Mississippi

Tuesday night's service under the Blue and White Gospel Tent was wonderful. God helped a bunch of folks and I believe that is just the tip of the iceberg. We did have some unexpected rain before church and a the beginning of service. That may have hurt the crowd some but not enough to tell much difference. It certainly did not hinder the move of God. It was awesome.

Today we have pictures from the tent set up. The tent, all four sections, was put up in record time and the set up is beautiful. These folks really work together good and it helps that we have been here several times with the tent. Every one jumped in and found a job to do and before you know it the tent was in the air.

Of course, having Kelly Jo and Bro. Jimmie on the job is the real trick. These two work like red mules and about all they get for pay is a little corn at the end of the day.

This is the outstanding crew that set up the tent in Richton, Mississippi Sunday evening. 

The Richton Park is very level and the stakes go into the ground very easily.

While some of the guys were finishing the stakes, we rolled out the pieces and started lacing them together. The full tent has 6 lace lines so that process kind of slows everything down.

While that was being finished, Kelly Jo showed the ladies how to get the straps ready to go and some of the folks got the side poles ready to install.

Then we stand up the side poles.

Next the center poles go up. If we have enough men, we raise all three center poles at the same time.

Once the tent is up, we hang the lights, set out the chairs, run the PA cords and hang the banners. Then we are ready to go!

We appreciate all the hard work. We could not do it without folks pulling together like they do. I hope you enjoyed the pictures. Thanks for reading.

First Night of City Reach Richton

We had wonderful day in Richton. Sis. Kim Morris prepared a wonderful meal for us, Bro. Jimmie Radcliffe and the Millikin's as well. It was absolutely delicious. Sis. Kim is one of the top three cooks in the world according to our book. Folks, I may not know much but I know food and Sis. Kim's food is outstanding!

Today we are posting a few pictures of the first night of tent revival in Richton, Mississippi. We hope you enjoy the pictures. If you are close enough, come be with us. Service will begin at 7:15 PM each night and at 5:00 PM on Sunday evening.

The first night of City Reach Richton was wonderful. God blessed and helped several folks and we are rejoicing over what He has done. Praise God for visiting His people. I am excited to see what He is going to do next!

Bro. Jimmie Radcliffe started setting out the sound equipment a little before 5:00 and we joined him at 5:00. We normally do not set up 2 hours and 15 minutes early but on the first night we like to get a running start. I like to make sure the bugs are worked out of everything in plenty of time before the first service begins. 

We have set up several times on the first night of a tent revival only to find a cord that is bad or a speaker that is not working or something else out of adjustment. I hate to deal with all of that 5 minutes before service.

This time all was right and the sound check went off without a hitch. We were ready in plenty of time. It is great having good help like Bro. Jimmie and Kelly Jo.

It was so good to have Bro. Jimmy Millikin and his family with us last night. God used them to minister to the people through their music and song. After the preaching they helped with the altar singing so much too. I am glad they came and we all wish they could stay a few more nights. I tell everyone that will listen that Bro Jimmy Millikin is my favorite evangelist.

We are expecting six more great nights of tent revival in Richton. Please help us pray that God will give us souls each and every night. I will post more pictures of the City Reach later in the week.

Thank you for reading.
