1 saved last night!

Thank the Lord for one saved at the mission in Indianapolis last night! Please pray for this young man as he faces many battles ahead. Our God still delivers!

Diaper Free(for a few months)

Anna has finally decided that she doesn't want to wear diapers any more!! We have been waiting for this for quite a while. So for the next few months we will be diaper free. For Kelley it is even better than for me because she is the one that changed them the most, being at home and she had to wash them. Anna keeps growing more and more all the time, mainly in personality. Right now she keeps dancing around in her underwear in the living room. For some reason, she decided to get out of her PJ's and neglected to put clothes back on. Well, we are getting ready to head outside. May God bless you as you work for Him.

IL(S),IN,KY,OH Regional Convention

We met for the first service on Friday night. From the very opening, the Spirit was present in a mighty way. We were blessed by wonderful singing, preaching, and outpourings of the Holy Ghost over and over again. It was wonderful to see the many visitors that we had present as well. We had some from Texas, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Alabama as well as the rest from our region. We are also thankful from the visitors we had from within the region. One brother from TX, we went to BTI with. It was great to see Bro. Wolf again. It is even greater to know that we will be seeing him more frequently. He is moving to the region in the near future. He will be our new regional BTI Booster. We are also glad to welcome Bro. Anthony and Sis. Amy Dyer. Bro. Anthony will be the new pastor for Sellersburg, IN. Anna will be glad as well, Jackson Dyer and her like playing with each other. It was great to have some from our new church in Somerset, KY. The Lord is really blessing them. Someone has donated land for a new building, and according to my understanding they have already gotten some work done on the land. I am excited to hear about the things that are taking place in our region. There are many encouraging signs of things on the near horizon. I can't wait to see what God is going to do throughout the next year. If our convention was any sign of the outpouring of the Spirit during the next year, we have much to look forward to. We had 115 in attendance about a 40% increase over last year. Please pray for our region as we continue to spread the message of the gospel. We currently have a couple of missions operating that it would be great to see become full fledged churches over the next year.

Camp Report

We showed up to camp on Thurs. morning to rain. But, the rain did not dampen our spirits. We were glad to be back at camp after about 6 years of not attending. Everyone else seemed to be excited as well. As the day rounded out I ended up have 4 boys under my care, with my brother Jeremiah as my staff in training assistant. My boys ages were 8,9,10,& 11. By the end of the first night we had determined that one of my boys had arrived at camp with ring worm. The Spirit was there from the very first service. The second day was filled with the normal camp stuff. Classes, food, fun time, swimming, and church. In Friday night's service, the Spirit began moving very early, during the song service. On Friday and Sat. nights we never got to our planned after church activities. Friday night right next to the chapel a softball game was going on. Some were worried that they would be a disruption to service, but I can't recall ever hearing them. In fact, those that were still there, were probably more disrupted when the Spirit hit Bro. Anthony and he took off running out the door. I felt the Spirit telling me that we needed to pray for the boy that had ringworm, so I went to him and asked if he would like to be prayed for. I believe I asked him if he believed that Jesus could heal him as well. We prayed for him and it was all I could do not to rip his bandage off. After we prayed for him, he went back to the camp nurse and said "when we take this band-aid off the ringworm will be gone because Jesus healed me right?"(paraphrased) He was completely trusting Jesus that He had healed him. The next day while swimming, his bandage came off and I got a look at his neck. The ringworm was almost completely gone!! You could still see the mark, but it was greatly reduced and looked like it was new skin healing up. Thank the Lord for His healing power. Sat. night the service was wonderful. There were several that did not leave the chapel until 2:00 a.m. The Holy Ghost was moving and working in a mighty way. Sunday we finished off things with a baptismal service. I can't recall exactly home many we baptized but, I believe three of my boys were baptized. Two of them claimed getting saved at camp. Camp was a wonderful time of rejoicing in the Spirit as well as getting to fellowship with our brothers and sisters in the Lord. This is just the tip of the iceberg of all that happened at camp, but only time will tell all the blessings the Lord poured out. We are looking forward to next year.

Wonderful Camp!

We just returned back Sunday from a wonderful Spirit filled Youth Camp. The Holy Ghost came down in mighty ways repeatedly. A number of the children professed salvation and were baptized as well. One of the campers in my cabin was healed as well. I will post something more detailed later concerning the camp, but I was blessed tremendously.
