Hello Folks,
     I missed you folks last weeks as Ruth and I were in Ohio preaching a revival.  This revival was something that was special to us as we got to see our Pastors.  Vernon B. Collins and his good wife Bea have been part of our lives for a very long time.  Bro. Collins is now 93 years of age and his health is not the best but he was at every service.  He is walking with a cane and needed a wheel chair to get up the ramp into the church building but he was there supporting the worship as well as testifying to the wonders of God in his life.  Ruth and I have been blessed by God to be given such wonderful examples in the faith.
     Not only did we get to see Bro. and Sis. Collins but we got to see a great number of people who we have been privileged to know through the years.  We saw family members, both of my sisters attended the revival for at least one service, and numerous cousins who I had not seen in years were there.  There were 4 other area churches that the pastor or some of their congregation attended and gave their support to the revival.  But one of the most important things was a young man was saved during that time.  God is good all the time to us!
      The congregation here has the joy of sending a young couple to do ministry in Texas.  They will go to serve with UTRI a group that serves the Hispanic community in Mexico.  Steve and Nicki will take their children, leave their jobs, and go to a new place because they believe that they are being called by God.  I ask you to pray for them as they answer their call to move to a different level of ministry.

Have a great day,
