Big Revival, Small town

Who said a revival can only last Sunday through Wednesday??

We have AWESOME news from Second Baptist. Our revival began June 26 and was scheduled to last through Sunday July 3rd.  I am so happy God doesn't work just when we schedule him to because our hearts have been truly blessed.  We felt in our hearts that revival needed to continue so last night we completed day 11.  We have seen 17 Salvations and a few re-dedications also.  God is at work!  We have preachers lined up to speak through Sunday July 10th.  WOW!  And who is to say we won't keep going?  We have a team of dedicated individuals meeting for midnight prayer ever since revival began.  

My husband's sermon last night was exactly what our church family needed to hear since we are in the middle of this unspeakable revival.  He preached out of the book of 2 Timothy 2:1-13.  This passage teaches us not to focus on worldly things but the Father.  It  speaks of how we are not to let distractions take away from the mission we have as Christians.  Zack told it is imperative to remember the stories of salvations from revival, but more importantly to remember THE STORY: Jesus Christ. I pray this revival will continue for as long as God allows and the revival in our hearts will never fade.

Please keep our church in your prayers as we seek God's guidance for this revival.
