It was a good night. Lots of folks showed up and the staff was very excited at the turnout. The church, although growing, still has a “small church” mentality that the pastor and staff are trying to grow out of and this was a part of that application.

The people have not had a special emphasis on kids and did not know what to expect so it was a good night and the staff told me of a number of positive comments so my prayer is the ministry can “springboard” off this success and move forward from there.

Tomorrow we will head to Yazoo City to check in on parents, spend the night, then drive up to Pickwick Dam, TN, for an Associational Pastor’s/ Deacon’s and wives banquet.

Thank you for your continued prayers for strength and safety in travel.
Blessings,
John

We are heading out this morning for Fair River Baptist Church on the outskirts of Brookhaven, MS. We’ve been asked to conduct a kids “One Night Crusade that will involve several churches.
When I talked with the Children’s Pastor, he had no idea how many to expect. We’ll do the same program whether there are 50 or 500 but it’s always fun when there is a large crowd.
Although the desire of the church is a “crusade”, I will have to wait until I get a feeling of the crowd. They have invited all ages and I don’t do invitations for younger children.
Whatever the case, I will be giving the gospel, planting seeds, throughout and would appreciate your prayers. The program begins at 5 p.m.

Blessings,
John
