God's protection

This video was taken from the Cherokee 6 plane owned by the "Wings with the Word Ministries" and Pastor Todd Bell. The video was shot today around 9:30 am on our trip from Augusta to Sanford to assist with the project at the new Christian school in Sanford. On the ride home we had a little bit of turbulence but otherwise it was a good trip. Shortly after dropping us off in Augusta, Pastor Bell had to make an emergency landing. He safely landed in a field in Farmingdale after losing his engine. I want to take this moment to praise the LORD for his protection of Pastor Bell, Pastor Wiley, Brother Tim Wood and myself. I want to stress that Pastor Bell landed safely. God's protection is so amazing. My wife may be a little stressed out but she also is praising God. I can't wait to take another trip with Pastor Bell. Praise God!

What a great Lord's day we had at Church Hill Baptist! We had two ladies follow the Lord's command into believers baptism. April and Robin are each now members of our church. I also had the fantastic blessing of leading 6 year old Ian to the Lord this morning. I was so happy that I had that opportunity! There's another one the devil won't get! We have a busy week ahead as I go on the route on Monday, Sanford on Tuesday, Institute on Tuesday night, welcoming guest Preacher on Wednesday, route on Thursday and who knows Friday and Saturday yet? I praise the Lord for how he is moving amongst us at Church Hill Baptist!

Wow! Praise the Lord! God moved in power and great glory today at Church Hill Baptist Church! In the morning service the Lord gave us 4 to be baptized. What an absolute blessing it is to see the Lord adding to His church! We also had boys of 10 and 13 years old preach for us. We believe that we need to give these boys the opportunity to preach! After all, if we desire to have men called out of our church to preach the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ we need to start them young. I praise God for the vision He has given CHB and Pastor Wiley! To see God's plan coming together is so fantastic. Speaking of Pastor Wiley, he preached a great message this morning out of Matthew 9. I praise God for the faithful Man of God He has given us. The afternoon service was also very special as we had two girls, 8 and 5 years old, reciting Hebrews chapter 11 (yes the entire chapter) without any help what so ever! Again, Pastor Wiley preached an awesome message out of Matthew 5.
The afternoon service gave us an opportunity to go to another church's evening service. We decided on Wednesday that we would be going to Bible Baptist Church in Unity, Maine. Pastor Nathan Pelkey, upon hearing I would be visiting, invited me to preach for them and I did just that. The Lord gave me liberty and I preached out of the 78th Psalm. What a blessed day! Oh, how great it is to serve the LORD!

What a blessed day yesterday! My day started out at the doctor's office. It was a blessing to hear that my vital statistics are doing very well. When your doctor says "whatever you are doing, keep doing it" you know that something is going right. I praise God for my health. After that it was to church to attempt to fix the main recording computer. Unfortunately the computer does not look good and we may need to replace it. Last night's service was another blessing as we heard great preaching out of the 37th Psalm. The prayer time after the service was great. I love breaking up into groups and praying. What a way to bring our congregation together.
Today it is off to the computer repair man with that recording computer. We will then drop the kids off at my mother's while Paula and I go to the airport to pick up a precious family member of a local pastor. Then, well....... some quiet time with my beautiful wife! What a blessing it is to serve the King of Kings!!!

What a great day I had on yesterday! I woke up really early (3:15 am) so that I could still have some quiet time with the Lord before running the Pep Farm route with the current owner. I learned a lot yesterday about running the handheld computer and "picking" the orders. It was a profitable day on the route. After I arrived home (around 3:30 pm), I picked up the family and then we drove to church to set up for tonight's homeschool ministry closing celebration. Mmmmmmmm, hamburgers and hot dogs. Wow, I'm really suffering for Jesus! I look forward to all that is going to happen over the next two weeks. God is MOVING in Maine and at Church Hill Baptist Church and I am so excite to be a part of it.

What a beautiful Lord's day morning this is. As I write this my heart is leaping within me. I am just so excited for what is to come.
My last day at Walmart was Thursday and it was a very touching send off. The Lord is good and the people at the store let me know how much they will miss me. It gave me a great opportunity to invite people to church and witness to them. I praise God for the opportunity to throw handfulls of Gospel seed on my way out. I do expect to see some of my former associates at Church Hill Baptist Church. I pray they will all get saved.
On Wednesday of last week (my second-to-last day) I received a call from Pepperidge Farms stating that the closing date was pushed back two weeks, from May 28 to June 11. This was a tough call to get, meaning it will be two weeks further until I get a paycheck (probably the first of July now). This means we need to go through the entire month of June with no paycheck. My fleshy self did what any unspiritual person would do and panicked. However, the Lord quickly reigned me back in and let me know it would be allright. Oh how I praise the Lord God and his provision for his people.
I look forward with great anticipation for what is to come! God is so good!
