Pioneer Baptist Church, Brattleboro, VT (actually in New Hamphire)

Pioneer is pastored by Fred Laughman pronounced (Lockman) and is now located in a former catholic church that just over the state line in New Hampshire. It is a beautiful location and beautiful church. One visiting young man was saved this morning.

Grace Baptist Church, Jacksonville, NC.

What a great start we had this Lord’s Day, the beginning of a family advance where i spoke of the "beatitudes for married couples”. Oh how the Lord "got it in".....several were saved in the morning service and then this evening God filled the altars to full capacity with one dear navy corpsman surrendering for time service. Many of you may not know but this church is full of marines and navy corpsman all of which have served in Afghanistan or Iraq at least twice. Many have been wounded but all want to go back as soon as possible. Now what could make a man want to do that..........love of country, love of corps, love of God, and love of the fight!

Charity Baptist Church, Killeen, TX.

Pastor Strickland started this work approximately four years ago and is doing a very good job. The church has about four members and is meeting in his home at the present. They have purchased property and plan to build as the Lord provides. Three prayed with me last evening to receive the Lord Jesus as Saviour. One teen age visiting girl was saved and I believe two young boys were saved also. Time will tell! Pray with me for this young work. Pray for healing amongst the members as many have come out of a terrible situation.

Victory Baptist Church, Vergennes, VT

I preached an annual wild game dinner on Saturday evening (their fifth) and ten were saved. Seven filled out cards with three only raising their hands that they too received the Lord Jesus as Saviour. Sunday morning there were seven more who walked the isle and received the Lord and Sunday evening three more were saved. Twenty dear souls on two days - oh how good our God is. He certainly moved on the hearts of folks there in the Northland. Vergennes is just north of Lake Champlain and very near the Canadian border. It is absolutely lovely country. Pastor Taylor has been there twenty-one years with a church of approximately two hundred and twenty. He has asked for a return meeting and I am already looking forward to a return.

Capitol Baptist Church, Dover, DE

What a wonderful day we had at Capitol Baptist. The Lord saved one dear soul in the 8:30 am service and three in the 11:00 am service plus I taught Sunday school between services. The evening service concluded with an altar call so strong that folks could hardly get to the altar. Pastor Moore is a wonderful kind man with a heart for God and God's people. When in Dover be sure to drop by Capitol Baptist.

Faith Baptist Church, Colonial Heights, VA.

The Lord saved two more ladies this evening and closed our meeting our with a tremendously long altar call. My how the folk of God did business with the Lord tonight. No one left after invitation but stood around rejoicing with one another. God certainly met with us this evening. Thank you folks for your continued support. We love you all and thank you for holding the rope with us. I am on to Dover, Delaware tomorrow. Warm regards to you all.

Faith Baptist Church, Colonial Heights, VA.

The Lord began the meeting by saving one dear (visitor) lady on Sunday morning and then a wonderful evening service, attended by what I believe to be more folks than the morning service. The altar was full on Sunday evening. What a sight to see God's dear people worshipping our great God. The church has undergone a complete refit since I was here three years ago - new pews, new carpet, new choir chairs matching the pew material - my what a difference and how beautiful the auditorium is. Pray with me for a young man recently returned from Afghanistan who is suffering from post stress disorder. He and I talked briefly yesterday and he has agreed to talk with me later. He is saved, has a wife with one child and she is expecting. Much prayer is needed here.

Southside Baptist Church, Rock Hill, SC

Our Annual Wild Game Supper was a tremendous success Saturday evening. I am not sure how many were present but it exceeded two hundred. The food was delicious, the fellowship wonderful and the Lord moved on the hearts of five dear souls who accepted him as Lord and Saviour. Pastor Walters had gifts for almost everyone in attendance.

Fellowship Baptist Church, Fairmont, WV

What a great meeting we had last week at Fellowship Baptist. The Lord saved six dear souls during the week with the last one a twenty year old young man who got lost before the service and then got found at the invitation. Pastor Stevenson and his staff certainly know how to promote and a meeting. I preached three times in Calvary Christian School and as always these are some of the most well behaved young people in America. What a joy it was to preach "for" them.
