Greetings from Carbondale. We recently concluded our area wide Mid-West Bible Conference that saw churches from Chicago to Nashville and Ohio to N. Dakota.
We launched a couple, Joe and Rachel Saenz, into Louisville (Shively), Kentucky. This couple had already pioneered a good work in Nashville, Tennessee and we look forward to God blessing this new endeavor.
As warm weather broke, we took the vision of soul winning to our streets. We set up a trailer with a simple speaker and mixer system to do mobile rap and mobile healing crusade outreaches. We’ve seen people respond favorably each time.
In the middle of May we sent an eightperson team to Rapid City, S. Dakota to do rap and outreach. Over the course of three days they saw approximately 70 people pray to accept Christ. in Carbondale
Our people returned after the 1,100 mile trip more refreshed than when they left. Thank God for men/women willing to go any distance to see souls saved.
The week after returning from S. Dakota we had a Jesus People Wedding. It felt more like a revival service with the presence of God in the church and so many unsaved visitors. The bride and groom gave powerful testimonies to their unsaved friends and co-workers. At the altar call, we saw five people respond; with the bride praying with one of her co-workers. Thank God for a couple that would place Jesus ahead of “their day,” and help create an atmosphere where the lost could be saved.
We recently concluded our June Healing Crusade with Evangelist Steve Bowman at a downtown pavilion in the heart of our city. It was a glorious two days that saw visitors, conversions and miracles right in the open for all to see.
We thank God for all who labor with us in the Midwest and the vision of our pastor to see Carbondale, the Midwest and the world won for Jesus. We are praying for Prescott and our Fellowship as we shift into a higher gear for the remainder of the summer.
