Wow, what a last few days. Hadn’t had a chance to blog so thanks for checking in. We began our journeys on Saturday heading to Hogansville, GA, where I did a banquet Saturday night, participated in the a.m. service then gave a concert that night. We headed to Monroe, LA. on Monday morning to do a senior adult banquet at North Monroe Baptist Church. We made it fine, although it was a really long day. The banquet went well. We left Hogansville at 8 a.m. eastern and arrived at 4:00 central time. Yep, that’s 9 hrs with as few stops as possible. We moved in equipment and had things ready to go by a touch after 5. Changed clothes and had the banquet at 6 p.m. There were 195 senior adults so it was a lively night and the crowd was very responsive and they actually loved Gladys too. ha
After a brief night, we headed up to AR this morning at 9 p.m. We arrived 6 hrs later but are settled in the hotel now and will move in equipment tomorrow. If there was one prayer at this time here’s what it would be. 3 years ago, this church was totally destroyed by a tornado. The pastor has been determined that the revival will be held in the new auditorium giving a signal to the community that Earle Baptist Church is back. Well, the construction people have been working hard. Today there were 5 different crews working doing everything from installing stained glass to the sound system to painting to……..well, everything.
Things have not been tested because they are just now being installed. Pray for the audio and visual equipment. Obviously, the pastor prefers using all the churches new equipment and no “extra speakers like mine”. I understand, this is a big event and even bigger given the circumstances.
Thanks!
John
The services begin tomorrow (Wednesday) night.
