August - Exciting month in our church

August has been a wonderful busy month in our church.













Pastor Jim and Evangelist Marty.

Earlier this month Evangelist/Missionary Marty Nogues came down from New Hampshire and visited our church and presented us with this large map of the world and bags and bags of clothes for our church and people in need. With missions meaning so much to me and our church the banner is already on display in the church, and clothes are being sorted out for distribution.


Marty also preached to powerful messages. He's a real evangelist and besides preaching these messages we also took it to the streets while he was here - PTL! You can listen to them at:


Then go to August 2nd "The Armor of God"and August 3rd "Judgment on the Church" for his messages.
We had some great conversations minister to minister.
Then that Sunday we had another minister couple drop by the church from Ohio. They are looking to pastor, and we were able to connect them to a nearby church in our area that has not had a pastor for over 1 1/2 years.

Then the following weekend the Pastor Tim Nixon and family (no picture yet) from New York came up check out our town and church. We really connected and he will be moving here in a week to be "Community Fellowship Church" (my church) as our Youth and Assistant pastor. We are excited about them coming and their stepping out in faith to come work with us in Kane, PA.

In between all this I married a couple from our church - Tyler and Christy. I pray the LORD blesses their marriage!
Then Pastor Tim and family came this past weekend, and I immediately put him to work, as I had a wedding earlier Saturday (August 9) in the day, so I thought it would be a good time to have him minister. Well long story short an oddity of both of our worship team members being away, we also asked Tim to lead worship! He did quite well with only 25 minutes notice.
Pastor Tim taught on "I want to be like Jesus".

That message can also be heard at:
NOTE: All our current sermons are now on:

Pastor Tim and family will also be back this coming weekend and hopefully settling in with his family. He will be ministering again at our church on Sunday, August 17.
He will be a much needed help on our Pastoral Staff, and help carry some of the load currently on me, and also add fresh vision to our church, and in reaching the youth.

We have also had some other things happen in just half a month, but time is slipping away so I'll end today's blog here.
Keep us in prayer in this "American" missionfield of Kane, PA.
