Excitement in our church!


It's been a while since my lost blog. Sure has been busy. It's all good - no complaints.

Prison ministry continues weekly, I see 6-8 inmates one on one every Wednesday. One who has recently got out is in our church, and has been quite an assest in helping the church in many ways. Build a wall, move furniture, invite people to church, painting, etc. Pray that this time the lures of the world will fail in drawing him. He also wants me to personally disciple him, pray for my time and wisdom to do that effectively.

We are a small church in a small town (meeting in what used to be "The Medicine Shoppe"), we have 2 services each weekend (one on Saturday PM, and one on Sunday AM). This week was the first time that we had 30 or more in both services. For our church that was exciting.



Also our weekly prayer meeting is well attended, and that excites me to have many coming to pray every week.

We are also excited about have Missionaries up this coming weekend to speak at the church.

Many exciting things are happening in our town and church. But anytime God is moving the devil often sticks up his ugly head. We have some "gossip" being passed around about me and some members in our church. Pray the LORD will stop those who are doing this.

Joyce and I will be going on a much needed break to Walkertown, NC which is not far from Winston-Salem or Greensboro for 2 weeks (October 8 - 22). While my wife, Joyce will have to work while there, and I have much work to catch up on for Go Proclaim Ministries (www.goproclaim.com) it will seem like a vacation compared to our schedule now. I also hope to spend some quality time seeking the LORD.

More can always be said - But for now I will say. TO GOD BE ALL GLORY! May we never forget to give Him all praise for apart from Him we can do nothing.

Until next time, be blessed!

Jim :-)
