In The Area

Good morning everyone. It's a beautiful, sunny day here in northeastern Pennsylvania.

This coming Friday through Sunday, I will be ministering at Beacon of Light Community Church in Old Forge, Pennsylvania along side Pastor Joe Bachmann. Please pray that the Word of God will bring conviction, edification and encouragement to all who attend. There is power in the Word of God.

I'm reading through the Book of Genesis. Issac was the patriarch who was associated with wells. Wells were very important in Biblical times for they provided for the needs of thirsty individuals. Wells were sources of encouragement. That's what I wish to be spiritually...a well who offers encouragement to the downcast and a drink of Living Water to the thirsty. Wells....may each us be one to those we come in contact with.

Have a blessed day.

A Really Good Sunday

Hello everyone. I just finished up my meetings in New Hampshire and wanted to get this note out before I leave in the morning.

This coming Sunday, I will be preaching at my two most favorite places to minister. On Sunday morning, I will be preaching in my home church, the Green Ridge Assembly of God in Scranton, Pennsylvania. In talking with my Pastor this afternoon, Pastor Dave Twiss, we are looking forward to what the Lord will accomplish. I will be preaching about the Holy Spirit. Please pray that people will receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Then on Sunday night, I will be preaching at River of God Church in Enola, Pennsylvania. This is a church that always encourages my spirit. Pastor Tim Halbforester has been a friend since our Bible College days back in the early 1980's. (I'm dating myself....) I will be preaching about the Promises of God. Please pray that His promises will be made real in the hearts of those who attend.I've been reading through Nehemiah this week. What a great man of God he was. He models the concepts of working hard for the kingdom of God, being a strong leader for God's purposes and setting a stardand of holiness for the people of God. I want to be like Nehemiah...except in a female version! May God raise up Nehemiah's in the church today.

Peace and blessings to each of you.

Up To New England

Good morning everyone. This is the day the Lord has made....be glad in it.

This coming Sunday through Wednesday, I will be ministering at the Keene Assembly of God in Keene, New Hampshire. Please pray for a safe trip as I travel up to New England. (the Interstate 84 corridor in Connecticut can be very congested) Also pray that the Lord will use the words that I speak to prod people onto a deeper walk with Jesus. May we grow and learn in His ways.

Just an update on my neck. I've been going to the chiropractor for several weeks. Things were going well until a few days ago, I woke up and all the stress in my neck and upper right back was back. The doctor has given me a new pillow (it has a lower middle for the head to rest in while the neck is supported) to see if it will help. I sure appreciate all your prayers. The doctor is doing his best but I'll take Dr. Jesus' touch any day.

Blessings to each of you.

Mother's Day Weekend

Good morning everyone. It's time to cut the grass again.

This coming weekend, I will be ministering at the First Assembly of God in Lonaconing, Maryland. On Saturday, I will speak at a Mother\Daughter Luncheon. On Sunday morning, I will preach a Mother's Day message and on Sunday night, I will speak on the Holy Spirit because it is also Pentecost Sunday. Please pray that hearts will be touched and lives changed by what the Lord will say through me.

How fitting it is that Mother's Day and Pentecost Sunday are one in the same this year. I suppose nothing greater is needed than godly, spirit-filled Mothers who love their children and raise them to serve and honor the Lord. That is one of the greatest and most God-honoring jobs that any woman can have. To all you Moms on my e-mail list, I salute you.

Blessings to you all. Make sure you honor that special Mom in your life this Sunday.

New Church

Hello everyone. It's turned out to be a beautiful day.

My next meetings will be in a new church, Trinity Assembly of God in Mountoursville, Pennsylvania where Jonathan Baker serves as pastor. I am always so grateful when the Lord opens a new place of ministry. Please pray that I will bless these people with the Word of God and that they will sense the Lord's touch in their lives.

If you remember, two months ago I was involved in a car accident when I was rear ended from behind. I just wanted to let you know that because of the neck pain I had, I've gone to a chiropractor and it has helped me so very much. I know God heals and Ialso know that he uses the medical field.

Thanks for standing with me in prayer.
