Dear Friends,

 

A great big howdy from Pulaski County, KY to each and every one of y’all who support this work in many different ways. This month has been wonderful and we continue to see God manifest his blessings on this work. First of all let me say that God continues to send us visitors, this past month we have had five more first time visitors. Some have even come back. We have also had a precious saint to join a couple of weeks ago. This is one of the dear ladies that have been coming for a month. Her husband has started coming from time to time as well.

 

  We have been busy preaching this month as well. We preached one night at Mountain View Baptist Camp while Chapel Hill BC was the camp sponsor. We had great services; the Lord saved one of his precious lost sheep that night. The camp was well organized and everyone was well behaved. I know there are other good camps but, since this is the most recent one I have seen I can whole heartedly recommend this as a good time and well organized camp. I also preached in the KMM Conference at South Irvine BC. What a glorious time of preaching and fellowship. Every message I heard was spiritually edifying and a blessing to me and my family. We also preached for Brother Lonnie Poynter and the folks at Marshes Siding Baptist Church in McCreary County, KY in between our services. Brother Poynter and his dear wife have been faithful in that field for years and for a long while it was Brother Poynter and the immediate family. Now God has seen fit to bless them with a wonderful group of people and now they are an organized Church spreading the gospel of Christ into the immediate area. They truly are an encouragement to us in being faithful in the ministry. Then I preached a weekend revival meeting for Sovereign Grace BC in Northport Alabama where Todd Bryant is the Pastor. God blessed us with great services there and it was great to see some old friends once again.  I also had the opportunity to minister to a family in Nancy who lost their loved one. He is my dad’s first cousin by marriage and by all accounts a lost man. I assisted in the funeral and the heart break that I observed with a family that had no hope was astounding. Please pray for the Cain family and pray for me as I try to minister to them.

 

Our visitation goes well and we are starting to have more people show interest from Nancy. We have also found a piece of property approximately two miles from where we are meeting now. It has a metal building on it with a trailer and two septic systems and the total acreage is between 2.5-3 total acres. The trailer is a single wide that is in good condition with 3 Bedrooms and two Baths. The building is approximately 1,000 sq feet and would need to be finished out. The asking price is $60,000 BUT, WE ARE PRAYING THAT GOD WILL MOVE MIGHTILY AND BRING THE PRICE DOWN MUCH FURTHER THAN THAT!!!! We know that if this God’s will then it will be done. Pray for us as we seek our Sovereign Savior's will.
