Revival In Pictures - Bethany Revival Center II

We had four more services of revival after our Revival In Pictures post last Friday so we have several more pictures from revival to show you. First I have a few pictures from inside the sanctuary. I absolutely love the inside of the church. 

It was built as a Methodist church and Bethany Revival Center purchased it a few years ago. It was only six blocks from their old location but was much bigger and on an main city thoroughfare. They have repaired and remodeled extensively but very little had to be done in the sanctuary.

I love they way they used to build churches in years gone by. IF God every makes me settle in one place, I hope he sends me to an inner city with a beautiful old church building like that!

Now for some more pictures. It looks like Odie caught me thirsty right after I finished preaching.

Odie and I both tried hard to make friends with little Grace all week long. She was apprehensive of Odie's wheelchair but she was warming up toward the end.

That wraps up all the pictures from the revival. Thank you for visiting the blog today.

Weekend Woundup and Weview #44

We had another great weekend wrapping up revival at Bethany Revival Center in Wichita, Kansas. Pastor John DiZazzo and his folks came to church hungry every night for a move of God and God honored us all by working in our lives and in our hearts. Praise God!

Sunday morning was especially good. God spoke very tenderly to His people and was obviously reaching in grace and mercy to each person present. I would love to duplicate that service and the pull of the Holy Ghost in every revival in every place we go to minister.

The spirit of the Lord combined with wonderful fellowship with great friends made for a wonderful weekend that we will treasure in our memories for a while. Wow! God sure is good to us!

We knew that Bro. Jimmie Radcliffe was planning to come to Wichita for a couple of services and it was a joy to him pull up mid morning on Saturday. We had not seen him since August when he was in Ohio working on the custom tile shower in the house we are building for Odie.





Saturday Bro. Jimmie corrected a situation I had been trying to correct in the BoggsMobile. I had developed a leak in one of the fresh water lines in one of the bays underneath and I could not get it stopped.

These two water lines go from the water bay to the bay that holds the water heater.



One takes cold water to the water heater and the other carries hot water back. One or both of these compression fittings started leaking. They have only been there for 22-23 years and 325,000 miles. What's up with that?

I tightened them but that was not the problem. Bro. Jimmie removed them and put in PEX 90's and had the leaks repaired in few minutes. 

We were rushing against rain coming so no pictures of the progress. I will take a picture of the fix later. Thank you, Bro. Jimmie.

It was great to have him in service with us Saturday night and Sunday morning. We enjoyed his fellowship very much!

We also had a big surprise from Bro. Bruce and Sis. Priscilla Mayhan when they walked in Saturday night for service.

If you are keeping count, and we are, that makes three times the Mayhan's have shown up and surprised us in 2017 and four times in 12 months.

They were in Fayetteville North Carolina City Reach one year ago.

They were in Ellisville, Mississippi in February.

And last month in Vermont.

Then they came to visit us this weekend on their 35th wedding anniversary. Wow! 

They live a lot closer this time, 3+ hours, so I kind of expected they might slip in Friday night. Once Friday came and went, I let my guard down. They shocked my socks off when they came up to my seat before church and asked if they could sit there! These dear friends deserve a huge chocolate chip cookie!

We had another visitor from Oklahoma Sunday morning. Sis. Charity Hayden drove up to be in service with us and it was a special treat.

We met Sis. Charity a year ago at the aforementioned City Reach Fayetteville. She was moving that week to Oklahoma and we had not seen her since then.

With all the special visitors and dear friends here in Wichita, PLUS a great visitation from God in the services, it was a wonderful weekend indeed.

We have several more pictures from revival services over the weekend but this post has probably gone on long enough. I will try to put up a revival in pictures post tomorrow.

Thank you for reading.

Thank you for stopping in on Sunday to see us. We appreciate your visit. May God bless you with a great day.

Wichita Workout With Shopping and Wheelchairs

Hey Friends, 

Welcome to the weekend! This is Odie checking in from Wichita, Kansas. We have enjoyed being with Pastors John and Judy DiZazzo. Our time here is always full of laughter and good times. Dad posted a bunch of pictures yesterday of our dear friends at Bethany.

The Lord has blessed us nightly with great services and wonderful results around the altar this week. It is a blessing to see the congregation at Bethany Revival Center receiving strength and encouragement. We have 3 more services tonight and tomorrow left in this revival. I am anticipating great things from God. 

The highlight for me coming to Wichita is see my dear friends. One of those dear friends is Sis. Esther Richards. God placed Esther in my life to be an encourager. She has faithfully encouraged me even when things have been tough for her. My day is always brighter when Esther is involved. She has a smile, laugh and attitude that is contagious. Esther is definitely a blessing to our family. 

I came across a shirt like this online the other day. I agree shopping is my workout. 🤣 It is hard work sometimes but always fun. 

Thursday we made a visit to the Dillard’s outlet here in Wichita. Mom and I enjoy shopping at Dillard’s Outlet when we can. You never know what you might find. This one was well stocked and had some great sales. I came out with a few good bargains. But we definitely had a great time bargain hunting. 

Esther came along for this adventure too. We talked her into using my scooter.  We knew we would wear her out shopping! 

Sis. Karen Mitchell joined us for this fun outing. Sorry I ran out of wheelchairs to share with Mom and Sis. Karen. They had to watch out for us crazy wheelchair drivers. I think the hardest part for them was trying to find us among the clothing racks. 

Thanks for stopping by to visit. Have a fantastic weekend.
