GANTT STREET BAPTIST CHURCH, COLUMBIA, SC.

I PREACHED THE OPENING MEETING (ALL DAY SUNDAY) OF THE LOW COUNTRY BAPTIST FELLOWSHIP REVIVAL. WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY IT WAS AS GOD BLESSED GREATLY. FOUR OTHER PASTORS WILL PREACH THE REMAINDER OF THE SERVICES. PRAY FOR THE MEETINGS THRU THE WEEK. SELDOM WITH YOU MEET A FINER MAN THAN PASTOR ROWELL, WARM AND FRIENDLY AND NEVER MEETS A STRANGER. HE HAS A CHURCH OF APPROXIMATELY FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY TO FIVE HUNDRED DEAR SAINTS, ALL OF WHICH ARE SO VERY EASY TO PREACH FOR.

COMMUNITY BAPTIST CHURCH, BLADENBORO, NC.

FOURTEEN YEARS AGO I HELD MY FIRST MEETING AT COMMUNITY WHERE PASTOR ROBERT OHLMANN IS PASTOR. HE HAD BEEN THERE ONE YEAR AND DUE TO AN UNUSUAL STORY. THE FORMER PASTOR HAD BEEN KILLED, RUN OVER BY A WRECKLESS YOUNG DRIVER WHO ALMOST TOOK THE PASTOR'S WIFE'S LIFE AS WELL. ROBERT AND PASTOR MAUCK AND I HAD BEEN FRIENDS FROM THEIR DAYS IN NEBRASKA AND WHEN PASTOR MAUCK WAS KILLED THE CHURCH CALLED HIS FRIEND ROBERT OHLMANN TO BE PASTOR. HE HAS DONE A WONDERFUL JOB AND IS TO BE COMMENDED. WE HAD UNTOLD NUMBERS OF GOOD DECISIONS THIS WEEK ON THE OLD FASHIONED ALTAR AS GOD MET WITH US. MUCH WAS DEALT WITH AND THE PASTOR'S ARMS LIFTED AND THE BARK TAKEN OFF THE DEVIL AND HIS CROWD.

DRY RUN INDEP. BAPTIST CHURCH, DUNCANSVILLE, PA.

THE MEETINGS THIS WEEK WERE PERHAPS THE BEST THAT I HAVE HAD THUS FAR THIS YEAR. THE CROWDS WERE GREAT AND THE RESPONSES TO THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WERE BEYOND DESCRIPTION. THE ALTARS WERE FULL TO OVERFLOWING EACH NIGHT ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY EVENING. I PREACHED MY FIRST MEETING HERE NINETEEN YEARS AGO, PASTOR LEATHERMAN WAS HERE THEN AND HAS "GROWN THE CHURCH" TO IT'S PRESENT SIZE. DUNCANSVILLE IS NEAR ALTOONA SO SHOULD YOU BE IN THIS AREA BE SURE TO STOP BY, YOUR HEART WILL BE BLESSED I PROMISE!

CLEVELAND BAPTIST CHURCH

WHAT A DAY WE HAD AT CLEVELAND BAPTIST CHURCH THIS PAST SUNDAY. PERHAPS A THOUSAND FOLKS WERE IN ATTENDANCE FOR A "CIVIL SERVANTS" DAY. GREAT TO SEE ALL THOSE "COPS" AND "FIREMEN" PRESENT, ALONG WITH ELECTED OFFICIALS FROM THE CITY OF CLEVELAND. I WAS MOVED BY THE WARMNESS OF THE PEOPLE AND THE CAREFUL AND WELCOME CARE OF THE PASTOR AND HIS STAFF. PASTOR FOLGER IS A KIND AND GENEROUS PASTOR WITH A WONDERFUL WIFE AND FAMILY. GREAT ALTAR CALLS BOTH MORNING AND EVENING WITH SOME SALVATION DECISIONS (THE NUMBER I AM NOT CERTAIN OF). ON YOUR NEXT TRIP TO CLEVELAND BY SURE TO ATTEND THIS GREAT CHURCH, GOD WILL BLESS YOU!

BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH, LEOLA, PA

WHAT A WONDERFUL KIND AND WARM CHURCH THIS IS, RIGHT IN THE HEART OF AMISH AND MINONITE COUNTRY. SHOULD YOU VISIT IN LANCASTER COUNTY, PA. YOU MUST PLAN TO ATTEND A SERVICE HERE AT BBC. PASTOR GARDNER IS A WARM AND FRIENDLY HOST AS ARE HIS GOOD PEOPLE. WE HAD A GREAT WEEK OF MEETING WITH TONS OF DECISIONS. THE OLD FASHIONED ALTAR WAS IN USE THIS WHOLE WEEK. WE HAD A VERY GOOD NUMBER OF VISITORS AND TWO PASTORS. PASTOR AND I VISITED A MAN, BARRY BECK, THAT PASTOR HAD BEEN SHARING WITH FOR A VERY LONG TIME. BARRY INDICATED THAT HE WOULD COME FRIDAY EVENING, HE DID, AND THE LORD SAVED HIM. MY WHAT TIME WE ALL HAD AROUND HIS SALVATION. THANK YOU PASTOR GARDNER FOR A GREAT WEEK.

CHUCK COFTY, D. D.

Grace Baptist Church in Dinwiddie, VA

Hello Brother Cofty this is Garth Bowler from Grace Baptist Church in Dinwiddie, VA. I just wanted to thank you so much for helping me find Christ yesterday. I had to let you know that I am so thankful now that I have been saved from hell for all of eternity and that I will be able to sing in heaven with my family. I wish you can see the way my life has changed since I have been saved. I was a strong curser until yesterday! Earlier this year I got in trouble at school for chewing tobacco and I had been chewing for about three years and I had the urge to have a dip (chew) a few days before. But I listened to what you said on Sunday about you smoking cigarettes and I asked God to help me and I haven't had the urge at all! So I just wanted to say thank you so much. I will never forget that day and I will never forget about you. I hope to see you again before we all go to heaven to be with God! I am a new man thanks to you.
Thank you!!

Sincerely,
Garth Bowler

GRACE BAPTIST CHURCH, PETERSBURG, VA. PASTOR RALEIGH NUNNERLY - GREAT DAY AT GRACE, PREACHED THREE TIMES AND HAD ONE YOUNG FOURTEEN YEAR OLD YOUNG MAN SAVED IN THE MORNING SERVICE. HE WAS BACK THAT EVENING WITH HIS DAD. WHAT A WONDERFUL SIGHT - TO SEE HIS DAD STANDING WITH HIM WITH GREAT BIG TEARS FLOWING FROM HIS HAPPY HEART. IT NEVER GETS OLD, THE LIFE OF THE SAINTS AND ESPECIALLY THOSE NEWLY BORN AGAIN. PASTOR NUNNERLY HAS BEEN WITH GRACE FOR ALMOST THIRTY YEARS, A WONDERFUL FINE MAN AND TERRIFIC PREACHER AND PASTOR. IF ANY OF YOUR ARMY FRIENDS ARE HEADED TO FORT LEE BE SURE TO RECOMMEND GRACE, THEY WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

CLOSE OF THE JUBILEE (36TH) AT TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH WAS A SAD AFFAIR!

SAD BECAUSE IT WAS DIFFICULT TO LEAVE THESE WONDERFUL PEOPLE AS WELL AS ALL THAT PARTICIPATED IN THE MEETING. THE PREACHING WAS EXTROIDINARY WITH RONNIE SIMPSON, JACK TRIPP AND BILL BEHRENS PREACHING MESSAGES WITH THE POWER OF GOD ON THEM, I HAVE BEEN PREACHING IN THIS CAMP MEETING FOR MANY YEARS BUT THIS JUBILEE WAS THE BEST THAT I PERSONALLY HAVE EVER BEEN INVOLVED WITH AS GOD MET WITH US; FOLKS WERE SAVED AND AN UNTOLD NUMBER OF GOOD DECISIONS MADE ON THE OLD FASHIONED ALTAR ACCOMPANIED BY STUNNING TESTIMONIES OF GOD'S WORKING. I WAIT WITH GREAT ANTICIPATION THE JUBLIEE OF 2011 (ALWAYS THE FIRST FULL WEEK IN AUGUST). PASTOR BOB WINSTEAD AND HE FOLKS DESERVE A GREAT SALUTE OF THANKS AND GRATIFICATION FOR THEIR DILLIGENT WORK BOTH DURING AND PRIOR TO THE MEETING. THE FOOD WAS THE BEST "EVER", I NORMALLY ONLY EAT ONE MEAL A DAY BUT NOT HERE, I HAD TO GET IN ON IT AND HAVE AT THE LEAST TWO EVERY DAY. IT'S PREPAREATION IS ALWAYS CAREFULLY ACCOMPLISHED WITH EVERYTHING CLEANLY PREPARED. EVERY FACILITY IS AIR CONDITIONED SO THE HOTTEST OF WEATHER IS OF NO CONSEQUENCE.

IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A CAMP MEETING YOU NEED TO COME AT LEAST ONCE, YOU WILL COME BACK THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

MUSIC THIS YEAR WAS PROVIDED BY BYRON FOXX, ROBBIE MULLINEX, THE MARVIN WEST FAMILY AND THE CHURCH CHOIR. IT WAS "CAMP MEEING" TIME AROUND THE OLE CHURCH HOUSE WITH THE MUSIC AND SINGING LIKE MOST HAVE NEVER HEARD.

PLAN TO COME AUGUST 1-5, 2011, ALL MEALS DINNER AND SUPPER ARE FREE - YOU PROVIDE YOUR OWN LODGING (WE ALWAYS STAY AT THE JAMISON INN) - YOU WILL NEVER REGRET THE LORD'S LEADING SHOULD HE LEAD YOU HERE TO WILSON, NORTH CAROLINA AND THE TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH! SEE YOU THERE!

THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL JUBILEE AT TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH

THE JUBILEE STARTED OFF WITH TWO WONDERFUL MESSAGES BY PASTOR RONNIE SIMPSON AND EVANGELIST BILL BEHRENS. BOTH HIT IT OUT OF THE BALL PARK. THE CROWD WAS LARGER THAN I HAVE SEEN IT IN YEARS AND THE SPIRIT WONDERUL. IT WAS LIKE OLE TIMES AS FOLKS SHOUTED AND REJOICED WITH GREAT FERVOR. THE OLD FASHIONED MUSIC WAS ALSO GREAT WITH FOUR DIFFERENT GROUPS PROVIDING THE MUSIC. THE MARVIN WEST FAMILY; ROBBY MULLINAX; BYRON FOXX AND THE CHURCH CHOIR. HOORAY FOR THE OLD TIME GOSPEL WAY AND RATS ON THE RICK WARREN WAY - WE REALLY DO NOT CARE WHAT SADDLE BACK SAM WANTS WE WANT WHAT GOD WANTS AND GOD WANTS HIS PEOPLE TO REJOICE AND USE THE OLD KING JAMES BIBLE.

LIFEGATE BAPTIST CHURCH, CHICOD, NC.

WHAT A WONDERFUL TWO DAYS WE ENJOYED, FIRST A COOKOUT FOR EVERYONE ON SATURDAY EVENING (FORMALLY TO BE A MEN’S MEETING) BUT PASTOR WANTED TO INCLUDE THE CHURCH AND INVITED SEVERAL OTHER CHURCHES WHICH CAME AND DID WE EVER HAVE A TIME. AFTER WE ATE WE ALL RETIRED TO THE AUDITORIUM WHERE WE ENJOYED THEN A MEAL FROM THE OLD BOOK. THE PHYSICAL MEAL WAS SCRUPTIOUS BUT THE SPIRITUAL MEAL WAS TWICE AS GOOD. SUNDAY – ALL THREE SERVICES THE DEAR LORD SHOWED HIMSELF MIGHTY AS EACH SERVICE WAS FILLED WITH A SWEETNESS THAT ONLY COMES FROM THE PRESENCE OF HIS SPIRIT. THE ALTAR WAS FULL BOTH MORNING AND EVENING – TEARS OF JOY FOR LIVES TOUCHED BY THE LORD WERE PRESENT AND MANY DECISIONS MADE FOR GODLY LIVING. THE LORD WILLING WE WILL “DO IT AGAIN” NEXT YEAR!

FREEDOM BAPTIST CHURCH, HAVELOCK, NC

PASTOR KOHR TOOK THIS PASTORATE IN 2008 WITH THE CHURCH ALMOST IN TOTAL DISREPAIR AND IT'S REPUTATION SOILED, NOT SO ANY MORE. PASTOR AND HIS FOLKS HAVE TURNED EVERYTHING AROUND AND ARE DOING A GREAT JOB FOR GOD. THE SERVICES ON THE FOURTH WERE WELL RECEIVED AS WERE THE SERVICES ON THE FIFTH AS FOLKS FROM SEVERAL LOCAL CHURCHES CAME TO HELP WITH THE MEETING. THE CHURCH WAS FILLED WITH VISITORS AND THE OLD FASHIONED ALTAR FULL. PASTOR KOHR WAS BESIDE HIMSELF TO SAY THE LEAST. MONDAY EVENING WAS A MILITARY RECOGNIGATION SERVICE WHERE MILITARY MEMBERS, BOTH ACTIVE OR FORMER, WERE PRESENTED WITH A UNITED STATES LEPAL FLAG. TUESDAY EVENING IS TO BE A FIRST RESPONDER TRIBUTE. PRAY WITH US FOR SOULS TO BE SAVED AND THE SAINTS UPLIFTED.

Who Are The Real Enemy?

WHEN ASKED WHO ARE THE REAL ENEMY- THE GENERAL REPLIED, "THE WIMPS IN THE WHITE HOUSE."

STAND BY YOUR GUNS GENERAL, WHEN IT COMES TO WARFARE, FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION WE ARE BEING RUN BY A HOUSE FULL OF SOPHMORE'S. AMERICA HAS BECOME A VERY LARGE "PAPER TIGER" WITH NO TEETH AND NO MONEY, CHINA IS NOW OUR "SUGAR DADDY". WE ARE THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE WORLD AS EVERYONE SEE'S WHO IS RUNNING THE WHITE HOUSE - CURLY, LARRY AND MO - AND THEM JOKING AND LAUGHING ABOUT THE RESULTS OF THEIR CHILDISH DECISIONS. TO MAKE IT EVEN WORSE.

OBAMA'S REPRESENTATIVE GIBB'S IS A FULL FLEDGE, ONE HUNDRED PERCENT IDIOT WITH AN EGO THE SIZE OF AN ELEPHANT. HOW RIDUCLOUS HIS COMMENTS ABOUT MATTERS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE. WE NEED TO GIVE THEM ALL THE BOOT AT THE POLLING PLACE!

MAPLE GROVE BAPTIST CHURCH, CANTON, NC. - PASTOR TOMMY CARSISLE

PASTOR CARSISLE CALLED THIS MORNING JUST AFTER HE RECEIVED WORD THAT HIS NEPHEW WAS SHOT TO DEATH YESTERDAY. HE AND SOME FRIENDS WERE SHOOTING POOL AND SOME SORT OF CONFRONTATION TOOK PLACE AND AN OLDER MAN ANGRILY WENT TO HIS TRUCK AND CAME BACK AND SHOT AND KILLED HIS NEPHEW. HE ATTEMPTED TO SHOOT THE OTHERS BUT THEY WRESTLED THE GUN AWAY FROM HIM AND HELD HIM UNTIL THE POLICE COULD GET THERE. THE MAN HAD RECENTLY BEEN LEFT OUT OF THE LOCKUP FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER. THIS ALL TOOK PLACE IN BAINBRIDGE, GEORGIA. I LIVED IN BAINBRIDGE AS A YOUNG EIGHT GRADE BOY. TOMMY WILL BE THERE FOR THE MORNING SERVICE AND THEN TAKE OFF FOR SOUTH GEORGIA AND BE GONE UNTIL TUESDAY. PRAY FOR THE FAMILY. THE DECEASED WAS SAVED.

SUNDAY AND MONDAY WERE GREAT SERVICES WITH FOLKS RESPONDING AND THE ALTAR FULL. MONDAY EVENING WE HAD A TWELVE YEAR OLD YOUNG GIRL ACCEPT THE LORD AND WAS DEALT WITH BY PASTOR'S WIFE. WHAT A BLESSING IT IS WHEN GOD SAVES A DEAR SOUL. PASTOR IS BACK AND CALLED THIS MORNING. THE FUNERAL WENT AS WELL AS COULD BE EXPECTED. IT IS GOOD TO HAVE HIM BACK.

LIGHTHOUSE BAPTIST CHURCH, SPRINGEDALE, AR.

WHAT A WONDERFUL CLOSE OUT FOR THE MEETINGS HERE AT LIGHTHOUSE AS THREE DEAR SOULS WERE SAVED LAST EVENING - ALL VISITORS. ONE EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD YOUNG MAN, A VISITING LADY WHO HAD BEEN INVITED BY A MEMBER AND HER ELEVEN YEAR OLD NEPHEW RECEIVED THE LORD LAST EVENING. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE WERE ALL REJOICING AND HARDLY ABLE TO SLEEP. THIS IS A NEW WORK AND AS ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN AROUND FOR AT LEAST A WEEK KNOWS HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO START A CHURCH IN AMERICA. IT IS AN "UP AND DOWN" SITUATION, FILLED WITH JOY AND DISCOURAGEMENT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DESIRE TO FOUND A CHURCH THAT IS BIBLICAL. A NO NONSENSE STYLE OF WORSHIP, GOOD MUSIC THAT HONORS GOD, A RIGHT BIBLE AND PRAYER AS THE FOUNDATION. THE CALDWELL'S HAVE DONE JUST THAT AND WHAT A JOY IT WAS TO BE WITH THEM. WONDERFUL CHILDREN WITH OLD FASHIONED MANNERS, THE KIND THAT ONE HARDLY SEE'S IN AMERICA ANY MORE.

ANY OF YOU WITH A FEW EXTRA SHECKELS PRAY ABOUT SUPPORTING THIS GREAT EFFORT, YOU WILL BE BLESSED AND IF YOU ARE EVER IN THE NORTHWEST PART OF ARKANSAS BE SURE TO VISIT THIS CHURCH.

LIGHTHOUSE BAPTIST CHURCH, SPRINGDALE, AK.

GREAT START TO THE MEETINGS HERE IN SPRINGDALE. PASTOR CALDWELL AND HIS FAMILY ARE TOPS AND DOING A GREAT JOB FOR THE LORD IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY. THE SUPPORTERS OF CHURCH PLANTING ARE INVESTING IN WHAT IS TO BECOME A GREAT WORK ONE DAY. A WORK THAT IS BIBLICAL AND STRAIGHT AS A GUN BARREL. THE MUSIC IS RIGHT, THE DRESS IS RIGHT, THE STANDARDS HIGH AND THE BIBLE OF COURSE IS THE KING JAMES. LIGHTHOUSE HAS A GREAT TEMPORARY PLACE TO MEET IN AS DO MANY CHURCHES IN THEIR START UP PERIOD. PRAY FOR THIS WORK AND THIS GREAT FAMILY.

FELLOWSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH, FERNDALE, MD.

TWO MORE MEN (ONE TWENTY-ONE AND THE OTHER TWENTY-EIGHT) WERE SAVED THE LAST EVENING OF THE MEETING. ONE OF THESE MEN HAD BEEN PRAYED FOR SINCE TUESDAY EVENING (BY HIS GRANDDAD) AND HE CAME AND THE LORD SAVED HIM. THE OLD FASHIONED ALTAR WAS FULL ON OUR LAST EVENING WITH DEAR FOLKS DOING BUSINESS WITH THE LORD. WHAT AN EVENING THIS WAS AS WE FINISHED WITH A TESTIMONY TIME AND THEN FELLOWSHIP WITH ALL KINDS OF GOODIES. IF ANY OF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN BALTIMORE BE SURE AND VISIT FELLOWSHIP BAPTIST FOR SOME GOOD OLD FASHIONED PREACHING AND SOME FELLOWSHIP WITH SOME OF THE FINEST FOLKS IN THE COUNTRY.

FELLOWSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH, FERNDALE, MD.

THE LORD SAVED TWO MORE LAST EVENING AT FELLOWSHIP. BOTH VISITORS, ONE OLDER LADY AND A TWENTY-NINE YEAR OLD MAN RECEIVED THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOUR. WHAT A TIME OF REJOICING WE ALL HAD WITH THEM AFTER-WARDS. THERE WERE TEARS OF JOY, LAUGHTER FROM RENEWED HEARTS AND PRAYERS FOR THIS EVENINGS MEETING. HOW WONDERFUL OUR DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER IS! IT IS VERY EVIDENT THAT WHEN FOLKS WORK TO GET THE UNSAVED INTO THE CHURCH, GOD WILL SAVE THEM.

FELLOWSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH, FERNDALE, MD.

MONDAY EVENING THE LORD SAVED AN OLD VIETNAM VET WHO SERVED WITH THE 101ST AIRBORNE DIVISION. ED HAD BEEN BEING PRAYED FOR FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND THE LORD ANSWERED THE PRAYERS OF MANY ON MONDAY EVENING. ED WAS BACK ON TUESDAY EVENING AND THE SAW THE LORD SAVE TWO MORE, BOTH YOUNG MEN IN THEIR TEENS. THE ALTAR WAS AGAIN FULL WITH FOLKS HEARTS TOUCHED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD. IT IS ALWAYS EVIDENT WHEN FOLKS ARE PRAYING FOR THE LORD MOVES IN WONDERFUL WAYS. THANK YOU! NINE SO MAKING PROFESSIONS OF FAITH.

FELLOWSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH, FERNDALE, MD.

GREAT BEGINNING TO A WEEK OF REVIVAL MEETINGS HERE AT FELLOWSHIP AS SIX DEAR SOULS INDICATED THAT THEY ACCEPTED THE LORD SUNDAY MORNING. THEN IN THE EVENING SERVICE THE OLD FASHIONED ALTAR WAS FULL. THIS CHURCH CERTAINLY HAS A WONDERFUL SPIRIT AND ALL SO VERY EASY TO PREACH TO. THIS IS MY SECOND MEETING HERE AND I CAN RECOMMEND ANYONE TO VISIT IF YOU ARE PASSING THROUGH BALTIMORE. PRAY WITH ME THAT THE LORD WILL SAVE MORE FOLKS THIS WEEK AND OTHERS TURN THEIR LIVES OVER TO THE LORD FOR GODLY CHRISTIAN SERVICE.
