Dear Friends,
We hope you are well, and thanks for
taking a few minutes to look over our May 2009 Newsletter. It has been a good
month and we give our Lord all the credit for anything that has been
accomplished. It is the highest honor or our lives to serve the Living God. What
a joy it is to travel around from place to place, singing and preaching the
unsearchable riches of Christ Jesus. I get to thinking sometime about what a
privilege it is to represent the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and it
overwhelms me. I am glad there is a place somewhere in the corner of His
vineyard for one like me. I do not deserve it, but I am grateful for the
privilege to be called a child of the King.
The month of May has been a full,
busy month. I began the month by preaching at a Bible Preaching Conference on
Saturday, May 2, at Oakland Grove Baptist Church, which is near Sandersville,
Mississippi. The church is located a few miles north of Laurel, Mississippi, in
Jones County. The pastor, Bro. Mike Powell invited me to be a part of an all-day
preaching conference, before starting his revival meeting the very next day.
Then on Sunday through Thursday, May 3-7, we had a great week of revival at
Oakland Grove. We also had morning services, which is rare nowadays. Bro. Powell
has been there three years and this was my first time at the church. It was good
to meet and work with Bro. Doug Dickinson, who is doing a great job with the
music at Oakland Grove. It was a great week. I was glad to be back with Bro.
Mike, Teresa and their boys. Tyler and Nathan are just about grown now.
Sunday, May 10 was a fill-in for Dr.
Robin Brumfield at Coldwater Baptist Church, near Philadelphia, Mississippi. We
always have a good day and appreciate Bro. Robin thinking of us when he has to
be away. Bro. Robin and Zoe were away on a 10-day cruise. I know they dreaded
it, but somebody had to do it!
Then on May 17th, I
preached at Laurel Hill Baptist Church, Philadelphia, Mississippi. The Laurel
Hill congregation is still without a pastor, and would appreciate your prayer
support as they search for God’s man. Larry Winstead always does a great job
with music. Thanks to all the folks at Laurel Hill for another good day of
worship.
On Monday night, May 18th,
I was invited to preach for a county-wide patriotic service near Quitman,
Mississippi. It was sponsored by the Men’s Brotherhood of Clarke County. It was
held at Rolling Creek Baptist Church, where Bro. Ronnie Cooper is pastor. I have
preached in several Clarke County churches through the years. The Associational
Director of Missions, is Bro. Grady Crowell, and I count him as a dear friend.
It was great to see many friends again, and God blessed us with a wonderful meal
and a stirring patriotic service.
The rest of the week, (May 19-22), I
preached at Parkway Baptist Church in Morton, Mississippi. I am sorry that my
friend, Evangelist Don Taylor, had to pull back and get ready for rotator cuff
surgery the following week. Bro. Don has been having serious problems and pain
in the shoulder. We hope and pray he recovers well. Pastor John Miles called on
me to preach the rest of the weeknight services, Tuesday through Friday. It was
a special meeting. God’s power was manifested, and good things happened. I was
honored to get to substitute for Bro. Don at Parkway. Dr. Lowery Compere, of
Clarke College fame, used to tell us, "If you can’t toot, just substitute!"
Danny and Nancy Harrison, of FBC Polkville, Mississippi, led the music, which
was a treat. The Harrisons are long-time friends of ours, and it is always a
pleasure to work with them. Thanks to Bro. John Miles, Margie and the Parkway
folks, for a good week.
My next meeting was May 24-27, at
First Baptist Church, Carnes, Mississippi. Pastor Gary Kelly has been serving at
FBC Carnes for eight years. Memorial Day fell on Monday night and we wondered
about the Monday night crowd, but it was the biggest crowd of the week. We had
good attendance and great response to the preached Word. This was my second time
at FBC Carnes. I had complete liberty to preach each service. Thanks to Bro.
Gary and Linda Kelly. By the way, I was invited to Bro. Gary’s parents for a
wonderful meal on Memorial Day; a big family, and even a bigger meal! Bro. Monty
Bounds, singer/pastor did an excellent job with the music. Bro. Monty is pastor
of 19th Avenue Baptist Church in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
May 31st to June 3rd
was my last revival of the month. My good friend, Bro. Kenny Lang invited me to
preach a summer revival at East Morton Baptist Church, in Morton, Mississippi.
We had a great start on Sunday morning, then a HUGE fellowship meal, and
following that, the first annual East Morton Revival Ride. We had a big crowd of
bikers who showed up for a Sunday afternoon ride. Some were out of East Morton
as well as other area churches. It was a good day, good ride and a week of
revival. God was very manifest in each service. Bro. Danny and Nancy Harrison
also led the revival music for this meeting. That was unusual for us to work
with Danny and Nancy twice in the same month. We counted them as dear friends
for at least twenty-five years. We had a fine revival meeting at East Morton
Baptist Church. We give God all the glory.
May has come and gone, and God has
blessed us with a full and wonderful month of opportunities. We thank all of you
who pray for us and support us. We are constantly encouraged by the host of
friends who lift us up continually. Be assured that we pray for you all as well.
We look forward to the month of June now. Please take a look below and pray for
us as the dates roll around. All the Sundays are filled, but I still have some
week nights open. Pastors, in the near term, all I have open in July are the
first two weeks, July 5 and July 12. All I need is a call or an
email. By the way, I still have not
missed a Sunday so far in 2009. To God be the glory!
