This meeting was a tremendous kickoff to our 2022 revival schedule.  We were blessed to sing and preach for a winter VBS at Immanuel Baptist Church in Kenai, AK. The Lord gave great unity in all aspects of the VBS, and we are excited to be placed on the schedule for VBS next winter as well! It was a blast…VB-YES! ;-) We were blessed with an additi...

Dear Family and Friends, JOY IN THE PRESENCE OF ANGELS! “Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.” Luke 15:10 Isn’t this a grand thought from the words of Christ? When one sinner comes to Christ for salvation, the Father begins to rejoice and invites others to rejoice with Him…how exciting! WHAT A JOYFUL PLACE! Do you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour? Please read Luke 15:1-10 and let the words of Scripture sink in to your soul. God loves you so much and desires to rejoice over your faith in the Gospel. Our 2021 Summer ministry was greatly blessed and has come to a close, but the fall ministry has been exciting, and it is in full stride for the glory of God.

We send monthly updates when we are home and can get to the printer. ) 1. GOD BLESSED WITH REARRANGING OUR MINISTRY C...

God absolutely blessed our week in Arnold, MO! One of the unique blessings of this week was being able to be with a family that was part of Crossroads Baptist Church when I pastored. They have since moved to the Arnold area and are faithful at this particular church. We enjoyed great fellowship together, but most of all God Saved two precious souls and gave us a sweet spirit during the meeting.  We are eagerly anticipating the next time we get to see everyone! Here are a few pics from the week: Walking hand in hand to the Old Spaghetti Factory for lunch. A shot of St. Louis from the top of the arch. We are in the transportation pod heading to the top of the arch! We got a picture with the Leach Family! What a blessing to preach in Chapel. They children listened so well! I was honored to preach to a great congregation of saints who were so sensitive to the Word. Praise the Lord for Pastor Blaine who faithfully preaches God’s Word from behind this pulpit! The Mighty Mississippi is in...

We were blessed to see the Potts! These two precious people have a special place in our hearts. We rejoiced together over the many ministry memories God has allowed us to enjoy! Their ministry is somewhat unique in when Bro Potts is preaching, his bride brings the text to life on a chalk canvas. Praise the Lord for their ministry! If you are looking for a sweet couple to come alongside you and your church family, I’d highly recommend Lynn and Linda Potts!

It’s always special when you get to serve the Lord with a college classmate. Pastor Dan Patrick, his family, and his church family are doing a wonderful job ministering around the Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania area. It was a blessing to come along side with them again this year! We had a great youth rally and fall revival with this sweet church family. We are excited to see them again in the future, Lord allowing! Here are some pics to recap the week: One of our hosts snapped some great pics outside their beautiful Pennsylvanian home! Photo Credit: Ulmer Photography My beautiful girls!

Great youth rally attendance! Continuing with a heart for ...

A somewhat last minute trip to Alaska came up and we jumped on the opportunity. This whole trip was designed to surprise a youth pastor in Fairbanks, Alaska for faithfully serving for 20 years as a youth pastor. My girls couldn’t go due to how fast the trip and turn around times were, but it was a blessing to get to visit Alaska again so soon. Here are some pics to recap the trip: Denali and view from the air! A beautiful Alaskan day in the valley. On my way to Glennallen from Palmer to preach God‘s word! One of the games we played to surprise the Youth Pastor was called “the price is exactly right.” He is sitting on one of the gifts the people blessed him with! Another beautiful Alaska travel day! I had the privilege of going to the Alaska State Fair with my sister-in-law, my niece and my two nephews! I enjoyed laying the dining room floor flowing from the kitchen that was remodeled in July. I also got to install a sink and a dishwasher at another location. It was a busy but blessed t...
