After a month off the road, with the exception of a couple of banquets, it’s time to load it up and head out.
It really never ceases to amaze that when the calls don’t come in and the calendar has some blanks, God knows what He’s going to do with us.
We were able to do the paperwork and all that goes with it to officially become John Yates Ministry, LLC. We felt after much prayer, that this was the way God wanted us to go so it’s been a busy time getting the extra things set up (i.e. checking account, bookkeeping, notification to those responsible with the upcoming bookings)

Then, Patty’s dad has been diagnosed with malignant lymphoma, mantle cell. She’s been in Yazoo City ministering to her dad, running to Jackson for doctor’s appointments and such and will continue to do so.
My first VBS in in Yazoo that will be convenient. She’ll be able to work with the ministry then take her dad to Jackson on Tuesday for a PET scan to get ready for chemo. We appreciate the prayers.
On Sunday, I have the privilege of preaching at First Baptist in Yazoo. This is the church where I was raised. Dad pastored there for 30 years.
I’ll keep you posted. Thanks for checking in!
John
