Revival In Pictures - Riverdale, California

We finished revival at Riverdale Wednesday night and it is time for a Revival In Pictures post. We have had a mighty fine time all week and we have the pictures to prove it. We want to say thank you to Pastor Charles Spencer and all of his folks for receiving us with open arms again this year. We have had a wonderful time.

The church at Riverdale is absolutely beautiful. I wish we could capture it with pictures but it can not be done. It is too large and too nice for our iPhone cameras to pick up. Here is our best effort.










I suppose you are going to have to come to California to see it for yourself. I promise it will be worth the trip. Of course there are mountains, Sequoias, Redwoods, ocean and Tacos Tijuana to see as well! Yep, it will definitely be worth the trip.



































































































Davy and Pastor Spencer
























Wednesday morning were invited to sing and preach in the chapel service for Riverdale Christian Academy. I love preaching chapel service almost any where and at Riverdale especially. The response to the preaching Wednesday was very good and we enjoyed the whole service very much.














Wednesday night.






























I hope you enjoyed the pictures. Thanks for dropping in todday.

God's Love In Action

There is a picture from Amazing Grace Church in Atwater that I have been meaning to show you since we were there a couple of weeks ago. This picture is of Benji Burris and eight of the children that have been adopted by various families in the church. 


Eight children adopted by families in one small church. That is amazing! That is a church that is putting their money where there mouth is and practicing what we preach as Christians.

We say that life is valuable. We say that children are a blessing from the Lord. We say that every child is a treasure. We say that every child is a wanted child even if the mother and father of that child is without natural affection. We know that God loves the little children and commands us to do the same.

We believe the principle but these families grow legs on that principle and put it into action!

Taking in a child that is alone in this world is the ultimate demonstration that a family believes all the statements in the paragraphs above and they are willing to prove it. Wow!

A few families in one church have made a difference in at least eight precious live and they are not near done yet! I salute these great friends for doing what it takes to be a transforming influence in the life of a child. 

They have opened their hearts and opened their homes. In doing so they have saved lives and inspired a bunch of folks that are watching, including us!

One more picture today. This is Bro. Benji, Sis. Laura and Blake. 


They added Blake into their family of five several years ago and he is a fine young man that loves God and God's people passionately. He is cheerful and polite. The impact on his young life by this Christian family can not be calculated. May God bless them all.

Thank you for reading today.
