Brothers...
Pardon me while I rejoice!
Tracie began a van route about 15 months ago.....
This resulted in approx 100 regular bus kids and 6 regular families and two busses.....
She wanted to have a parents day and so today we took the busses and went to invite the parents of our 100 or so kids....
Things went crazy.....
End result....
We have approx 100 new kids today who signed up to come tommorow....
Probably 20 mamas will be on the busses with thier kids....
This left us with the dilemna of how to get some 200 kids and mamas to church....
Our nets were breaking!
I called a pastor friend who has been trying to sell me another bus and this afternoon I bought the bus and got it back to our campus.....
Many say that busses and kids are too much work for revival.....
But today I rejoice in a team of over 50 volunteers who have fallen in love with the souls of this city.....
I thank the Lord for an entire church family who will selflessly give to facilitate this mininstry....
And I rejoice in the God who called us and has allowed us to continue for over 19 years now.....
I pray that each of you see HIS blessings as well tommorro

Excerpt From Tonites Bible Study
2 Cor 1:8-11
I think you ought to know, dear brothers, about the hard time we went through in Asia. We were really crushed and overwhelmed, and feared we would never live through it. We felt we were doomed to die and saw how powerless we were to help ourselves; but that was good, for then we put everything into the hands of God, who alone could save us, for he can even raise the dead. And he did help us and saved us from a terrible death; yes, and we expect him to do it again and again. TLB

Deut 22:1-4
1 Thou shalt not see the brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.
2 And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.
3 In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.
4 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again.
KJV
What an incredible principle!
I hope as a pastor I am never guilty of helping facilitate the loss of my brother's sheep or ass or ox.....
Or anything else that belongs to him and not me....

Revival Makers
The young man made his journey from Jerusalem to Jericho...
Direction is everything....
He was moving from the place of God and never intended to fall...
He fell..
Among thieves....
Those who maliciously wanted to strip him of the things he had....
Those who were takers....
I would like to call them...
Revival Takers.....
Then came a priest and Levite who did nothing to help the man....
I call them Revival Fakers....
But a Samaritan with bad pedigree and no future paused....
Poured oil into his wounds and arranged a hotel to take care of him and then promised to pay extra if needed....
This was a Revival Maker!!!
I do not have time for Revival Takers or Revival Fakers....
But I have plenty for a Revival Maker....
Blessings...
