Revival Fires! Regional Conference
Community Baptist Church
Richmond, Virginia
Dr. Mike McClary
In the last issue we had just begun a meeting at Community Baptist Church in Richmond. We had a tremendous conference with Brother McClary and his people on Monday and Tuesday with the altars full and many decisions in each invitation. We enjoyed some good fellowship, as always, with their family On Monday evening meeting Pastor Andrew Logue brought a group from his church in Suffolk, and it was a blessing to see him and his family.
On Tuesday night after the service we traveled home to avoid the rush hour traffic on Wednesday morning. We arrived home about 2 am, unpacked the car and got a little sleep. On Wednesday and Thursday I visited and took care of work at home, and also preached the Midweek Prayer and Bible Study at Faith Baptist Church of Osterburg
Faith Baptist Church
Gulfport, Mississippi
Dr. Dan Carr
Friday afternoon we got packed after working on a book manuscript and in the afternoon headed to Allison Park and spent the night at Lydia and Lee’s house. The next morning I rose about 3 am to leave the house at 4 and catch a flight to Gulfport, Mississippi. My son-in-law was so good to get up before daylight and take me to the airport. I was headed south to be with Pastor Dan Carr and Faith Baptist Church As always, I had great fellowship with Brother Carr and his family and had a wonderful time preaching to his people The altars were full in each invitation, and if I’m not mistaken, there were 16 saved morning and evening.
Revival Fires! Regional Conference
Bible Baptist Church
El Dorado, Arkansas
Dr. J. D. Weido
Then on Monday I rose early to go to the airport again to catch a flight to Little Rock, Arkansas to be with Pastor J. D. Weido and Bible Baptist Church of El Dorado for a Revival Fires! Regional Conference. I got in to Little Rock mid-afternoon and Brother Weido picked me up. We grabbed something to eat on the road and headed back to El Dorado. I got checked into the motel so I could change and then headed to the evening service.
We had a good crowd on Monday night with several preachers in attendance. The Lord blessed in the service with two saved in the invitation. On Tuesday morning I preached to the Christian school and six young people were saved in chapel. This was an exciting start to the school year with a new crop of students, and these responding to the Gospel message. On Tuesday evening we had a good crowd once again and good service with the altars full.
Faith Baptist Church of Osterburg
On Wednesday I rose early again for another early morning flight out of Little Rock which is a couple hours away. Thankfully everything went well and I got in to Pittsburgh that evening where my wife picked me up at the airport. We stopped for supper and then made our way home.
On Thursday I preached at Faith Baptist Church for the Thursday Midweek Prayer & Bible Study. On Friday and again Saturday morning and into the early afternoon I made some visits.
Gospel Baptist Church
Torch, Ohio
Pastor Jay Hubbard
We were already packed and left in the middle of the day for Torch, Ohio to be with my good friend, Pastor Jay Hubbard. We have been friends from way back when we both traveled with Evangelist Dr. Joe Boyd as young preacherboys preparing for the ministry. I was with Brother Hubbard in the morning and evening and the Lord blessed the services in a great way. There was tremendous movement in the invitation and a heaviness in the service that only the Spirit of God can bring. It was a blessing to catch up and visit during a great lunch.
He had an early evening service, so afterward we loaded up and headed back home to sleep in our own bed that night. The following week was very busy tying up loose ends and taking care of business with vehicles and house and office. Once again I preached at Faith Baptist Church for the Thursday Midweek Prayer & Bible Study, and we are nearing the end of the book of Revelation.
Heritage Baptist Church
Burlington, Iowa
Pastor Mick Hall
On Friday we loaded the vehicle and headed west about 7 1/2 hours to Terre Haute, Indiana and spent a few hours with our daughter Christy and son-in-law, Elisha and their little ones. Cathy, Christy and the baby all have October birthdays so this was our one chance to have a meal and celebrate together. We were on our way to Iowa to be with Pastor Mick Hall in Burlington. We checked on motels in the Terre Haute area, but because there was a big crowd for homecoming at the local college, rooms were $350 to $400! So we drove an extra hour and a half west and got a motel room in Illinois.
The next day on Saturday we finished the trip off, approximately 5 hours, into Burlington. We got settled in at the motel and then went to supper with Brother Mick and his wife, Leah. We had a tasty meal and warm fellowship. I preached all day on Sunday at Heritage Baptist Church. There were two saved in the morning and the altar was full. That evening there was one more saved and the altar full. It was a delight to see this good young preacher that I’ve known since he was a boy faithfully doing a good work for God in this city.
On Monday we left Burlington and took the northern route to Dwight, Illinois and went by the offices at Bible Tracts Inc. Brother Austin Merriott was a blessing to provide some tech support for the I Pad used to record radio broadcasts and got it functional again. We got to visit a little and talk about some future plans with Brother Micah McCurry. By the time we got out of Dwight it was too late to make whole trip.
We drove to Elkhart to get a motel and finished the drive on Wednesday. When we checked into the motel that night we had a blessingl We had run out of tracts in the vehicle and my wife picked up a handful at the BTI office. She went inside to check in as I was loading our things onto a luggage cart. After checking in and getting the room keys, my wife gave this young lady at the desk a Gospel tract. She was excited as soon as she saw it, and said, “I just love these!” So my wife asked if she had ever been saved and asked the Lord into her heart, and her response was, “I’m not sure... how do you know?” Well, you don’t get a much better, “What must I do to be saved?” than that! Cathy was just beginning to share some verses with her about the plan of salvation.
About that time I came in with the cart, and my wife was headed to move the vehicle, so she introduced us and let me know that Shay wanted to be saved. I had heard the last couple minutes of the conversation, so I picked up there and witnessed to her. My wife was back in a few minutes and we probably talked with her about 25 or 30 minutes and got to pray with her. Thank the Lord, not a single person came thruough the lobby to interrupt. Shay was very tender, open and responsive, and she received Christ as her Saviour. We gave her some of our books and a copy of Revival Fires! to read and tried to help her find a good church in the area. Praise the Lord! What a blessing!
Faith Baptist Church of Osterburg
We traveled home the next day and arrived in the evening. Once again, I had plenty of odd jobs around the house to keep me scurrying. I preached the Thursday service at Faith Baptist and spent a great deal of Friday and all day Saturday visiting for Sunday.
This is the first Sunday I was in town for three weeks. We made a lot of contacts and visited from 11 to almost 7 in evening. The Lord sure blessed the effort the next day. We had an excellent crowd, even with a number of people missing who would normally be there. There was one saved, one for assurance, one baptized and the altars full both morning and evening. It was a blessing to have some first time visitors as well as folks we hadn’t seen in a while. (And one of those first timers has been back for two more services,)
Mt Zion Baptist Church
Mexico City, Mexico
Dr. Kevin Wynne
I flew into San Antonio and spent the night on Tuesday, and the Lord gave me the opportunity to lead a young lady to Christ in the airport and I gave her a copy of Revival Fires that I had in my briefcase.
Then I got a direct flight to Mexico City on Wednesday. I preached Wednesday and Thursday nights for my good friend of many years, Dr. Kevin Wynne, at Mt Zion Baptist Church and taught in their Bible college on Friday to a couple hundred students. The Lord’s hand is on Brother Wynne and the ministry there, and we had great results in those two services. It was an awesome sight to see that 7500 seat auditorium filled on both nights with two different crowds of people. On Wednesday night there were 383 saved and 227 baptized. On Thursday night there were 217 saved and 123 baptized. Two great services, needless to say! As always, I had great fellowship with Brother Wynne and some of his family and staff. And, as always, he fed me very well and took great care of me as a guest.
Liberty Baptist Church
San Antonio, Texas
Dr. Dewayne Nichols
On Saturday morning I rose at about 4 am again. One of Brother Wynne’s men picked me up and took me to the Mexico City airport. It was a blessing to run into that same young lady who works in the airport who got saved a few days before and had a chance to talk with her again.
I am just starting a meeting with my dear friend, Dr. Dewayne Nichols, at Liberty Baptist Church. Then I will fly to another meeting in New Mexico with Pastor Brian McMath. I’ll let you know in next issue of Revival Fires! how these meetings progress.
Since this is the November issue, let me challenge you if you are a young evangelist to attend our two day Evangelist School on December There are a number of young men being used of God in evangelism today who have attended in the past and greatly benefited. It is not a preaching meeting. It is an impromptu teaching atmosphere with plenty of opportunity to ask questions and get them answered.
Please keep us in your prayers. Thank you to those who have allowed the Lord to use you in helping to cover some of the postage increase that has hit us hard. The weeks are flying by and I can’t believe that Thanksgiving and Christmas and a brand new year are approaching so fast. We look forward to crossing paths with you somewhere along the Gospel trail.
Yours for souls,
