Great Weekend

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

I just want to thank the Lord for another great weekend. We baptized 28 people Sat., our church adopted 28 children from Africa (through missions of mercy), the alters were full at each service (with God touching many lives) and we also had a record attendance again at 697 people in 3 services. Wow!! We had asked through an e-mail for people to bring enough food to feed 300 people for Sat. Night after service (to celebrate with the families that had baptisms) and we had enough food to feed 600, Amazing! We are so excited about all that God is doing. Please keep praying and believing God for the harvest to be made real in our lives. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Good news on the Children’s Center

Friday, February 20th, 2009

Praise God, the children’s center is now becoming a reality! We broke ground yesterday on a 1700 square foot space for our children ages 2 - 11. This will also allow us to double our nursery for our babies by knocking down the wall between the two classrooms up front. I know Lisa St. Amant, the children and all the parents are fired up about this. I want to thank Mr. Jerald and Brandon H. For working so hard to get this done. Praise God for His grace and strength!

State of the Church

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

I’m sitting down looking at a message from the Lord to the church. It is a state of the church message, like found in Rev. but specific to St. Amant Campus. I want to strongly encourage everyone to come out tomorrow night to here this word. We will eat and fellowship from 6:30pm to 7pm then enter into worship and state of the church address. Please try your best to come. May God bless you! Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Peru Pastors and Leaders conference

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

Pastors Fernando, Rusty, Robert B. and I are doing a pastors and leaders conference in Trujillo Peru about 8 hrs north of Lima. It is going very well! Lives are being touched, healed and empowered by God. Hundreds of people are receiving God’s word with gladness and hunger. Lord may all your people get hungry for you! We come home Thursday and I look forward to getting home to my family and you. I don’t like leaving but at times God calls us to sacrifice for the gospel. It is truly a sacrifice to leave my family and you but it is necessary in the serving of our Lord and obeying His commandment to go! I can’t wait to see you this weekend. God’s has given me a word that will change your whole home. Bring your children and come expecting!!! Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Brazil

Monday, February 9th, 2009

Here I am in Brazil in the interior of the Amazon. We have 5 churches here that we support thru James Williams ministry Inland Amazon Missions. Rusty and I did a pastoral training with the pastors here then we worked on getting all the details and locking down a deal to purchase 580 Acres of land with 90 cows and two bulls for the ministry. This working ranch will become a revenue source for the ministry and will also be a training center to develop pastors and villages up and down the Amazon. This has been a very productive trip. We also where able to line up our missions trip in August. I pray that some of you would be able to come and experience one of the last frontiers. When we landed in the bush plan the pilot had only landed 3 times prior to this one. It was very interesting to say the lest. He is opening doors also to drill water wells supplied by Operation Blessing. What a blessing this will be to the people. I am excited about all that God is doing in Brazil!

In Peru

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

Praise God we made it to Peru safe and all is going well. Church leaders are learning and growing from God’s word being delivered by His servants. It is always an honor to be part of what God is doing around the world. Below Ps. Dino, Lance, Ps Gary (Hillsong London), Nick (operation blessing rep. for South America) are learning together listening to Ps. Dale O’Shields teach on the importance of the Church. This morning Rusty and I leave for Brazil to work on a great project God is putting in our hands. Operation Blessing wants to also help us in Brazil in a big way. God has opened the door here in Peru with Nick and Jorden (Director OB). It’s amazing how God connects the dots! The Lord spoke to me on the way over that He was going to be opening a door to expand ministry and He has. Thank you for all the prayers and I look forward to seeing you when I get home. I heard Johnny did a great job Wed. Stay hungry brothers and sisters for God’s word and Spirit. Love you guys! Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
