As we approach the longer and warmer days of summer, we hope you are enjoying the season and finding ways to discover God’s beauty and splendor.
Our days of ministry have been busy – in multiple ways and directions. We are grateful for any and all opportunities to make much of Jesus and share his amazing grace through worship, speaking, and writing.
Our trip to Texas in March was very fruitful for the Kingdom. We witnessed God at work in the small town of Newton, Texas as 91 people trusted Christ during revival services at First Baptist of Newton! We were blessed to be with Ronnie Hill, an evangelist from Texas. He led school assemblies which we were able to be part of. He engaged with students through a program on bullying, then invited them and their families to church that evening for pizza. One night the church hosted a steak dinner for the community. Pastor Kenny Rawls and his church had been praying and fasting for 40 days leading up to the revival and it was incredible how the Lord answered. They baptized over 40 people on the last night of the revival with two baptistries being used one after the other, the church’s own, and a trough that was brought in for this special occasion. We saw children and grandparents, mothers and sons saved and baptized! It was truly a glorious move of God through the Holy Spirit and we praise Him for it!!
Your prayers for us matter! Thank you! It’s not always about the number of people being reached or responding, because we know and believe that God is concerned for every person, be it in a large group or individually. Whether we share a gospel conversation with a server at a restaurant, teach a bible study, lead a retreat, or lead in worship on Sunday morning, our prayer is for others to encounter Christ and experience His presence, through the Holy Spirit.
We were also at Becker Road Baptist Church, in the Houston area for their Homecoming. Joe was asked to preach, which was wonderful. He spoke about the power of our extravagant worship and how it changes the atmosphere. We sang with the choir and with their men’s quartet.
We had 2 other revivals in April, one under a tent on a beautiful night in Pine Mountain, GA. Kim spoke at a women’s event in May and led a One Thing Worship Retreat. She led worship for Touching Hearts Ministries during the year.
We’ve been a part of several Seniors’ events this year and have more scheduled, including a 3-day Senior Retreat in June at First Baptist Fayetteville.
We’ve been invited to sing as part of the Southern Baptist Evangelists group at the Southern Baptist Convention in New Orleans this month.
The first draft of Kim’s book will be finished by the end of the summer. The working title is “Of Grace and Glory, A Journey of Worship Through Grief.”
Your prayers are very much appreciated for that too.
She also continues to co-host “A Burst Of Hope” podcast weekly, where guests share their God of Hope stories.
