As the focus goes to Christmas and the birth of our Savior, it does my heart good to reflect on what God has done this year through our family. This year marked 15 years that we have been traveling and preaching all over the United States and certain foreign countries of the world.
The fall round of meetings was particularly good for us, taking us from Virginia to Montana and back to South Carolina before ending the season in Ripley, TN, 80 miles from home. The Lord has been so good to us to allow us to travel and to strengthen churches in the places to which He sends us.
We are all home now, enjoying the time at our home church and resting a bit before the schedule resumes again in January. Josiah is learning to drive, everyone is doing school, and we are all enjoying the time at home.
As we head toward the new year, we are excited to see God's continued working in our lives and ministry. Thank you so much for all your prayers and support this past year. May God bless you all.

Mountain Men
After a great time of ministering in camp in the Southwest, we are back in the swing of revival meetings once again. The schedule is full this fall, with lots of churches and lots of travel.
So far, one of the highlights of this fall has been the Inter-Mountain Baptist Fellowship meeting in Cody, WY. Many of the men were men whom I had never met before. In answer to specific prayer, the Lord greatly used the services to encourage and strengthen the preachers before they had to leave this morning. While the goal was not to get new meetings but to be a blessing, many did express a desire to have us back in the future.
Earlier this year, the Lord opened a ministry opportunity that I never envisioned myself doing. A church asked us to help them in the interim after their pastor had resigned. I had never seen myself doing anything like that, but the Lord opened the door and we went through it. Though we were only able to spend four weeks there, the Lord allowed us to be able to bring a stability to the church and see an interim pastor installed that continues to help and see the work move forward. God's ways are never our ways.
My 2018 itinerary is very minute at this time, but it is posted online for anyone thinking of scheduling a meeting for next year. We are excited about the doors that God is opening up for us.
