August’s Newsletter 2008


Dear Friends and Prayer Warriors,
          What an incredible month for us this past month. A month and a half ago August only had two revivals in it. The Lord truly filled our calendar with a worship weekend at one church and a total of four revivals and one concert. The Bible says in Psalm 37:4 to "Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." Our desire was to see a full month of ministry opportunities and He granted that. As you read in last month's newsletter, we had also been praying for a newer motor home for the ministry and the Lord answered that prayer as well. After ironing out a few of its bug, we are absolutely loving our new ride. We were able to use it in all four of our revivals this month. And what a blessing it has been.
          On August 1 & 2 we led in worship at Kilmichael Baptist Church for their "Standing in the Gap" ministry weekend. They set aside those two days to minister to those in their community by helping out with different projects for those in need. In the evening, everyone would return to the church for an evening meal together and a time of worship and testimonial time of how God was working through the different projects. This weekend home missions project was led by Jimmy and Tincey Eldridge, along with Rita Eldridge, Larry Bamberg, and Pastor Gary Jackson. It was such a great weekend, they have already contacted us about leading the worship time again next summer.
           We left Kimichael that Saturday evening around 8:00 and headed to Smithdale, MS to begin Revival services at Mount Zion Baptist Church for a week long revival on August 3-8. We had a wonderful time getting to know the good folks there. Their pastor is Bro. Marvin Howard. You may remember that he was the guest speaker for a revival we did back in February in Hollandale, MS. We had a great time getting to know his wife, Susan, and their wonderful grown children Margaret and Matthew. We even had one day that they took us out to the lake for a picnic and a boat ride. Some of us even water skied. We camped out at Bro. Marvin's sister and brother-in-law's place. Mark & Denise Strother were so kind and just made us feel at home. The guest speaker for the week was Bro. Leon Wallace who pastors Siloam Baptist just a few miles down the road from Mt. Zion. Bro. Leon preached some wonderful messages. We believe that revival truly took place at Mt. Zion. Their were people praying at the altar each night and there were two professions of faith.
          After having some repairs done on the motor home at the tune of $406, we were back on the road heading northeast to Crawford, MS to lead in revival services at Bethesda Baptist Church on August 10-13. The guest speaker was Bro. Allen Dees from Kosciusko, MS. Bro. Allen had an incredible gift of bringing the Scriptures to life. It was a joy being back with the good folks at Bethesda. Please keep them in your prayers as the search for a new pastor.
          We then traveled north to Slayden Baptist Church near Lamar, MS just three or four miles from the Tennessee border. We were in revival services on August 17-20. Their pastor and his family are dear friends of ours, Dr. David and Beth Bishop and their daughter Lauren. Bro. David invited Dr. Jimmy Porter, director of the Christian Action Commission, to preach the revival services. It has been several years since we worked with Bro. Jimmy. It was so good hearing him preach once again and getting to know his wife, Tommie. We also had the privilege to get to know Slayden's music minister and his wife, Bro. Mark and Misty Mathis. There was one public profession of faith that week and one who transferred his membership to Slayden from sister church in the area.
          Our final revival for the month was at the opposite end of the state near Foxworth, MS at New Hope Baptist Church on August 24-27. Bro. Tim Parker is pastoring there. Many of you may remember that we were there back in October of '07 for a tent crusade. They invited Bro. Melvin Mordecai back to preach this revival as well. It was good to hear him present the gospel once again. We had a great time and it was so good to see a well attended revival meeting.
           On August 31st, we finished the month out with a concert at Fellowship Baptist Church in Starkville, MS. Fellowship is currently without a pastor, so we appreciate Ronnie and Relda Engelmann for inviting us to be a part of their worship service that night.
           Be in prayer for Becky and Christian as they begin his second grade year of home schooling on September 1st. Also be praying as we prepare for what is shaping up to be a fairly busy Fall for the ministry. Thank you for all you do for One Way Ministries.
