Dear Friends and Partners,
Brenda and I thank you for taking a few minutes to look over our July 2008 travels. It has been a full and busy month. We hope this finds you well and healthy. Our schedule is filling fast. In fact at this time, there are only 4 dates available for the rest of this year. I have two weeks in November and two in December. So pastors, as you look toward 2009, if I can help you in your church, all I need is a phone call or an e-mail. A few 2009 dates are trickling in, and I am already looking, with anticipation, to where God will send us next year. The January Bible Study for 2009 is the Book of Exodus, and I have to get started now preparing for that also.
The first Sunday of July was filled at Murphy Creek Baptist Church, Louisville, Mississippi. Bro. Mack Simmons asked me to fill in for him while he and Jewel were away on vacation. I have preached several revivals at Murphy Creek, and the folks remembered them well. Thanks to Bro. Rusty Foster and his sweet family for hosting me, and taking good care of me for the whole day. We had a great meal with Rusty, Melissa, Tyler and Makenna. Thanks to Bro. Mack and all the Murphy Creek congregation for being so gracious.
The second week of July was near Philadelphia, Mississippi, at Coldwater Baptist Church, where Dr. Robin Brumfield is pastor. He and his wife Zoe are doing a good job at Coldwater. We had a great week, and it was good to see all the folks again. We always receive a warm welcome and renew acquaintances with friends we have made. Bro. Robin has used me in several churches through the years and we appreciate his love for the Lord, and kindness toward Brenda and me. Thanks to the folk at Coldwater Baptist Church for another good week of revival and renewal.
The third week of July took us to Leake County, Mississippi, and the Corinth Baptist Church. Corinth is located 10 miles north of Carthage, Mississippi, in the Singleton community. Bro. John and Jan Sharp are serving at Corinth for the second time in their ministry, and are enjoying one of their most fruitful ministries. This was the ninth time we have been in revivals or January Bible Studies with Bro. John. He and I go back to 1980, where we served as neighboring pastors for 6 ½ years. I was pastor at Sulphur Springs Baptist Church, and Bro. John was pastor at Sebastopol Baptist Church.
We had a great week at Corinth, which included morning and night services Monday through Thursday. The morning services were some of the best of the week. God blessed us with his presence and moved among us. The folks at Corinth are always kind to us. I told them how excited I get every time Bro. John invites me, not only to Corinth, but where ever he has served. Thanks to the Sharps and Corinth Baptist Church.
The last week of July was a revival meeting in Wayne County, Mississippi. I went for a repeat meeting at Strengthford Baptist Church, where Bro. Mack Carney is pastor. The Carney family and I go all the way back to the early 1980's when we first met at Clark College, Newton, Mississippi. It seems like just yesterday that we started our wonderful days at Clarke. God connected a lot of friends at Clarke and many of us have stayed in touch ever since.
I appreciate Bro. Mack’s invitation; this was my fifth time to be with Mack and Cheryl. God blessed us with a move of his Spirit. Someone commented that it almost "got out of the banks" by Wednesday night. Both the attendance and response to God’s Word was good. We had a good week at Strengthford Baptist Church.
I want to thank all of you who pray for us and encourage us along the way. Where would we be without our friends? Thanks for your financial and prayer support that you give to us. I appreciate you letting me send this letter each month. Many of you who respond with a kind word. We love you all and pray for you often. We count it an honor to call you our friends in Christ. Let me close now, with a look at what God has opened up for us in the month of August.August 2008
