Finishing up

 After a fruitful time of ministry at Ambassador Baptist College in Lattimore, North Carolina, we took our trailer in tow and began the long trip to Colorado.  After a drive of about 9 hours, we stopped for the night at a church in Clarksville, TN.  When we endeavored to get up the next morning and continue our journey, the slide-out of our trailer would not move.  I attempted a repair myself--or at least a diagnosis of the problem--but could not get the mechanism to work properly.  Eventually, we were able to get the room in enough to travel, but we realized that taking the trailer to Colorado would not be possible.  A four-hour detour later, we were back home packing all our necessary items into our church's cargo trailer.  We then took this trailer to the meeting in Colorado.  The travel trailer has an appointment with the repair shop on December 28, 2021.  This was the earliest available date to get it in.  In the meantime, we continue to travel with the cargo trailer and stay wherever churches can put us.

Currently, we are home for the Thanksgiving holiday, enjoying our time in Mississippi.  I had the opportunity to preach in our home church this past Sunday night.  It was such a blessing to be able to minister to the church family.  They have become so dear to us over the years that we have been members.

Two more meetings remain before the end of the year.  The first is with Tom Brennan in Dubuque, IA, and the other is a tent meeting in Shelby, NC.  Please pray that the God continues to a do a work in our ministry.

Our nation is ripe for another spiritual awakening.  On every hand, people seem to sense that there are great needs, but only those who know the Gospel really have the answer.  Please pray for us what the Apostle Paul requested that the Ephesians pray for him: "That utterance may be given unto me; that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel."
