Lack of Contact

I am sorry for the lack of contact with you my faith full supporters. Our computer is still on the blink and we don't have the funds to get it repaired. If any one knows someone who can repair computers as a ministry please let me know. We sure are hand-cuffed with our it.

Please pray for our ministry as we begin to establish a new mission site soon. Also pray that God will also see fit to bless us financially.

We Love you all!

Computer Woes!!!

Goood Morning! Well its good to be back online again. My high-powered Dell Computer decided, after three years of perfect operation, to crash. So now we had to go to the backup computer. About three months ago we received a donation of a Hewlett Packard PC. Praise the Lord that he knew we were going to need it. As for the Dell ... its in the hands of Doctor Jesse Cummins for evaluation. Jesse is really talented at this kind of tech stuff and I know what ever the remedy may be, he will be able to tell me soon.

Just to update you on the latest mission news...we have been working hard to reach the people of Villa Nueva and Huntington Village. To date we have led 20 people to Jesus, worked with 4 different churches, and handed out over 150 bibles to many adults. If you would like to be apart of our team we really need a donation of Spanish language bibles. We also could use volunteers to help on sight.

Lately Cornelia has been working her summer camp and also at a daycare center to help boost our financial situation. With the recession just about every missionary is experiencing a decline in giving. Unfortunately bills and mortgages still have to be paid etc..

Our summer missionary Kati McLean is doing an excellent job filling the gap where ever she is asked to serve. This week she is in Boston, but will be back in action next week.

Please pray for our work. We have faith in the direction by a powerful and loving God that will meet all our needs. If you have been blessed this month...please pray how you can help your missionaries.

We Love You All!!!

Internet woes!!!!

I am sorry about not keeping my blog current. I have been having some major trouble with my modem over heating..I figured out if I put it in the refrigerator that it will make it work for a short time. Hopefully I will have the problem resolved soon and be current and updated soon.

Thanks for your patience.

Hello Every One!

This week we have been working with a team from Petal Mississippi (Petal Harvey Baptist Church).

This group has been doing a terrific job working with over 160 kids between four different sites. We appreciate the efforts of Jason (right) and his group. Jason has been a youth minister for several years and really knows how to motivate his team.Feet really take a beating and get dirty during mission activities.

Kids and workers get hot and tired!

But the best thing is ...Kids have fun and learn about Jesus!
Over the past two weeks we have led seven people to Christ. We are greedy for the people of this world. Please pray that God will bind Satan and keep the flow coming.

Also...thanks to my summer missionary Kati for all her hard work. She is doing an outstanding job and is really called to do this kind of work.

Stay tuned for further updates.

Kids Club Thursday and Happenings

Cornelia and I helped out Thursday and Friday morning with Vacation Bible School at my home church Mountain Park FBC. The attendance has ran close to 350 kids every day. Out children's pastor Debbie Braswell is one of the best and really knows how to throw a party for Jesus.

Later, I met up around noon with Ashley, Jesse, Tim and Marco Solano! Marco is another of our team members.

We met to discuss the field teams that will be working on my sights next week. The team will be a youth group from Mississippi. Their assignments will be Huntington Village, Huntington Ridge, Villa Nueva and Retreat at Arc Way. Also made a visit to the Beaver Ruin Baptist church to let them know about the work we’re doing in their area.

We also talked about a team from Florida coming up to work with us and also a group that might be transferring the to the Falls Apartments on Satellite Blvd.

Thursday evening we had our Kids Club program sponsored by Rock Bridge Baptist Church. We had a larger number of kids this week because of the good weather.

Hopefully we will be able to generate some interest in their Vacation Bible School coming in July. Please pray that kids will except Christ.

Week in Review!!!

Just a quick update on this weeks activities. Monday started a week long Vacation Bible School at Mountain Park FBC, our home church. Cornelia, Kaitlyn, and I are all working in different capacities. Even though it has been very hot this week we have had tons of fun. One of my jobs has been directing traffic in the parking lot. Man some of the people coming into the parking lot drive way too fast. The best thing about this job is that I get to greet a lot of visitors and direct them to the right locations.

Monday afternoon...Cornelia, Kati (our summer missionary), and I went to Villa Nueva to check on the kids. School has only been out for three weeks and they are already bored. So Cornelia broke out a brand new box of side-walk chalk and began to draw pictures on the soccer court. Before long all the kids were engaged in art work. After that we drew a hop-scotch board on the ground and the kids played hop scotch. Good simple fun.

While all this was going on I was able to minister to one of the boys who's Dad is locked up in the GCDC. He was pulled over for running a red light and detained. This kid is really missing his dad. His dad is really a good man. I feel sorry for his family. Tomorrow night Rock Bridge Baptist Church will be back to continue their Kid Club Thursdays. Today we went back again and found five of our regular kids. We wanted to make sure that they remembered the event on Thursday night. We also asked them to remind the other kids to be there. I am really looking forward to working with RBBC again. Last week they led two kids to Jesus.

Please pray for their effectiveness as they share the Gospel with the children once again.

Great Summer Mission Kick Off!!!

We had our first summer kick off event last night with Rock Bridge Baptist Church. This is the beginning of a five week Thursday night Kids Club designed to "Take the Church To the People" away from the church campus.

The event, scheduled for 6:30 pm, was meet with torrential rainfall which began just as we started. Even though the devil tried to stop us we just moved the event under the covered porch. We were sort perplexed as to why our many of our regular kids did not show up...after all they helped us pass out flyer's. Shows you can never second guess anything on the mission field.

Rock Bridge Baptist had many really talented people leading and teaching. The material centered around Hebrews 9:22b"and without shedding of blood is no remission".

After the lesson the kids were treated to songs and games. Oh yea! buy the way. an invitation was given after the lesson and we had three kids express an interest in knowing more about a relationship with Jesus.Awesome!!!

We were very excited to see many new kids that we had not made contact with before this event.

This morning I had the opportunity to go and speak with a class from Kid R Kids. Their summertime material centers around being a better person morally. Hey...we have the answer for that problem. Per the managers request I spoke on cooperation. It was good stuff and the kids really listened.
