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.

HUNTERDALE BAPTIST CHURCH, HUNTERDALE, VIRGINIA - PASTOR HOWARD VINSON

WE ENJOYED A GREAT WEEK TOGETHER WITH THE ALTAR USED EXTENSIVELY BY BOTH THE FOLK OF THE CHURCH AS WELL AS THOSE VISITING. PASTOR HAS BEEN HERE FOR THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AND IS STILL GOING STRONG. HUNTERDALE IS ON THE WEST SIDE OF FRANKLIN, VIRGINIA AND FULL OF WONDERFUL CHRISTIAN PEOPLE. THE TOWN HAS BEEN HIT VERY HARD BY THE CLOSING OF THE PAPER MILL - THE BIGGEST EMPLOYER IN THE AREA WHO EMPLOYED THIRTEEN HUNDRED PEOPLE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT ANYONE WAS SAVED BUT I DO KNOW OF MANY MAKING DECISIONS ON THE OLD FASHIONED ALTAR. I WAS FIRST HERE TWENTY-THREE YEARS AGO.

Pre-Meeting Praise

I ALWAYS ATTEMPT TO ARRIVE EARLY FOR SERVICES AND STAY LATE. THURSDAY AT WILLIAMSBURG INDEP. BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH I WAS STANDING OUTSIDE WAITING TO WELCOME THOSE MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE SERVICES. A VAN PULLED UP WITH THREE PEOPLE IN IT, I WALKED OVER TO GREET THEM WHEN I HEARD THE MAN ASKED FOR THEM TO GO ON INSIDE "THAT HE HAD SOMETHING HE WANTED TO TALK WITH ME ABOUT PRIVATELY".........SOMETIMES THIS CAN BE NOT SO GOOD BUT IN THIS CASE IT WAS WONDERFUL. THE MAN, FIFTY-SIX YEARS OLD, INDICATED TO ME THAT HE HAD GONE AS FAR AS HE COULD. I ASKED EXACTLY WHAT HE MEANT AND HE SAID "I NEED TO BE SAVED"........"I WOULD HAVE LET YOU KNOW ON TUESDAY EVENING BUT I AM AFRAID OF CROWDS".......THE LORD LET ME HELP HIM IN HIS DECISION TO TAKE CHRIST AS HIS SAVIOUR......HE PRAYED AND ASK FOR GOD'S FORGIVENESS AND FOR THE DEAR LORD TO SAVE HIM..........I PRAYED AND THANKED THE LORD FOR THIS UNSPEAKABLE OPPORTUNITY AND WE WALKED INTO THE CHURCH TOGETHER. HE INFORMED PASTOR OF HIS DECISION AND NEEDLESS TO SAY THERE WAS REJOICING. HE UNDERSTANDS THAT WHEN BAPTISED HIS SALVATION WILL BE MADE PUBLIC!

WILLIAMSBURG INDEPENDENT BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH, PASTOR CHUCK SPROWLS

PASTOR SPROWLS HAS BEEN THE PASTOR HERE FOR TWENTY-ONE YEARS. WE HAVE HAD GOOD MEETINGS SO FOR THIS WEEK WITH THE OLD FASHIONED ALTAR BEING USED GREATLY. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL CHURCH NESTLED IN THE MOUNTAINS OF CENTERAL PENNSYLVANIA AND COMPLETLY SURROUNDED BY LARGE MOUNTAINS. THE VIEWS ARE SIMILIAR TO THE PAINTINGS OF NORMAN ROCKWELL AND THE PEOPLE VERY KIND AND ATTENTIVE. WE HAVE HAD A LARGE NUMBER OF VISITORS EACH SERVICE WITH PASTOR JOHN LEATHERMAN AND MANY OF HIS FOLKS FROM HIS GOOD CHURCH IN ATTENDANCE LAST EVENING WITH PASTOR LEATHERMAN SINGING THE OFFRATORY. IF YOU ARE HEADED TOWARD PENN STATE THIS CHURCH IS JUST FIFTY MINUTES EAST. TRY IT - YOU WILL LIKE IT AND WANT TO STAY.

AFTERNOON OF THE 21ST A LADY FROM THE CHURCH WITH A THIRTY YEAR SON WHO IS A DRUG ADDICT ASK IF I WOULD MEET WITH HIM IN AN ATTEMPT TO LEAD HIM TO THE LORD. I MET WITH JOHN THIS AFTERNOON, HE SAID THAT HE HAD BEEN SAVED; I ASK HIM AND SHOWED HIM 11 COR 5:17 AND HE SAID THAT HE HAD NOT CHANGED WHEREUPON I SAID IN ALL PROBABILITY YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN SAVED. HE AGREED AND PRAYED WITH ME THAT THE LORD WOULD FORGIVE HIM AND SAVED HIM. WE WALKED BACK TO THE PASTOR'S HOME WITH JOHN NOW ON HIS WAY TO HEAVEN AND A PROMISE THAT HE WOULD BE IN THE SERVICE TONIGHT. PRAISE THE LORD!

CAPITOL BAPTIST CHURCH, DOVER, DE.

CAPITOL BAPTIST CHURCH, DOVER, DE. THREE MORE SAVED TODAY. TWO ON VISITATION THIS AFTERNOON AND ONE IN THE SERVICE TONIGHT. I THINK THIS BRINGS TO TWENTY-FIVE OR SIX THE SOULS SAVED THIS WEEK. THE LORD HAS TO BE PLEASED AT THE EFFORT OF THIS GOOD CHURCH.

CAPITOL BAPTIST CHURCH, DOVER, DE.

THE LORD SAVED THREE MORE SOULS ON MONDAY, TWO IN THE EVENING SERVICE AND ONE WHERE I AM STAYING. I LED A ROMAN CATHOLIC MAN TO THE LORD MONDAY AT NOON. THEN ON TUESDAY EVENING WE HAD ONE MORE SAVED IN THE EVENING SERVICE. IN TOTAL THE LORD HAS SAVED TWENTY-TWO DEAR SOULS THIS WEEK; THOSE IN THE REVIVAL SERVICES AND OTHERS BY CAPITOL BAPTIST MEMBERS ON VISITATION. PRAISE THE LORD!

CAPITOL CITY BAPTIST CHURCH, DOVER, DE. PASTOR TERRI MOORE

THE LORD SAVED ONE DEAR SOUL IN THE 8:30 AM SERVICE AND ONE SURRENDERED FOR BAPTISM - THAT WAS WONDERFUL AND WE WERE ALL EXCITED BUT THEN THE LORD SAVED NINE DEAR SOULS IN THE 11:00 AM SERVICE AND NEEDLESS TO SAY WE WERE ALL BESIDE OURSELVES. CAPITOL CITY BAPTIST IS A GREAT CHURCH WITH A GREAT PASTOR. PASTOR MOORE IS MOVING THE CHURCH FORWARD WITH AGRESSIVE SOUL WINNING AND PREACHING. IF YOU PASS THIS WAY YOU MUST STOP BY FOR SOME GREAT PREACHING AND WARM FELLOWSHIP.

PINE BLUFF BAPTIST CHURCH, ALBANY, GA. PASTOR KEITH SMITH

THE MEN'S ADVANCE HELD AT VENTURE OF FAITH CAMP IN VALDOSTA, GA. WAS ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE TO ATTEND AND BE A PART OF. SEVERAL CHURCHES WERE REPRENTED FROM FLORIDA AS WELL AS GEORGIA. THE ATTENDANCE WAS PERHAPS ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY OR SO, THE FOOD WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD AND MANY OF THE MEN MADE LIFE CHANGING DECISIONS IN THE AREA OF THE HOME AND THE WIFE. WHAT A JOY IT WAS TO BE A PART OF THIS.

 

SUNDAY I PREACHED ALL DAY AT PINE BLUFF BAPTIST CHURCH IN ALBANY, GA. WHERE PASTOR KEITH SMITH IS PASTOR. THE CHURCH WAS FULL ON SUNDAY WITH PERHAPS THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MEMBERS, ONE LADY WAS SAVED IN THE AM SERVICE AND THE OLD FASHIONED ALTAR FULL BOTH AM AND PM SERVICES. THIS IS A GREAT OLD FASHIONED SOUTHERN CHURCH WITH OLD FASHIONED MUSIC - THE KIND THAT I WOULD LOVE TO PREACH IN EVERY WEEK. IF YOU ARE DOWN THIS WAY BE SURE TO STOP IN, MEET THE PASTOR AND HIS FAMILY (WIFE AND THREE SWEET DAUGHTERS) AND THE FRIENDLY MEMBERS OF PINE BLUFF.

Venture Faith Camp

I was at venture faith camp I really enjoyed the messages that God gave you to preach to us at the Men's Advance. I needed them as God had been dealing with me on some things in my life about my wife. I thank God for 40 years of marrage to her, I got saved at the age of 51 at my boy's funeral 2001, now I am serving as one of the deacons at Bethel Baptist Church in Thomson Ga. I am  looking forward to seeing you again .I was the one with the slick hair cut on secound row in middle. God Bless You and Your Wife and family. Brother Don

Revival

Brother Cofty:

We enjoyed every minute of the revival:  You stepping on our toes; the Holy Spirit's convictions through your preaching; you socking it to us good, that we had to hang our heads in shame.  But, we mostly enjoyed seeing sinners saved, the backsliders getting right with the Lord and saints getting motivated and encouraged.  You were truly a blessing!  We apporeciate your wife allowing you to visit us (smile).  Please give her our best regards.

Thanks for a "job well done".

Mrs. Burns
