Harvest

 Spring is customarily a time when savvy farmers think about planting, not harvest. For our ministry, though, there are some spring seasons in which we see people saved.

This spring season of revival meetings has been busy indeed. In early March, we finished our time out west in California and Arizona, and made the long trek to South Carolina, stopping by Mississippi on the way across America. God allowed us to see people saved in South Carolina and Virginia so far. Before we finish on the east coast, we will go as far as Brooklyn, New York, before turning once again toward home.

On Sunday, March 29, we opened a meeting at Lighthouse Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia. This church has been a tremendous blessing to our ministry over the years. There have been times when their generous giving has literally kept us in evangelism. Just as important as their giving, though, is their zeal to bring lost people to services. A man brought a gym buddy and his wife with him to the meeting on Sunday morning. Exactly how many years he had been witnessing to this man I do not remember, but the number six sticks in my mind. I preached on assurance of salvation from I John 5:9-13 on Sunday morning. At the invitation, the guest told his friend, "Move out of my way." His wife wondered what he was doing to which he responded, "I'm going forward." He settled his salvation that morning. 

Another man also responded in the invitation, convicted of his need of salvation. After the service, Sarah got to lead to Christ a woman who had been visiting the church for several weeks. That morning, she bowed her head and heart to receive Christ. She was 89 years old.

This meeting in Alexandria is the third meeting in a row that has taken us through Friday in services. Next week we only go through Wednesday in Brooklyn, after which we hit the road hard heading for our home in north Mississippi.

There we are scheduled to be a part of the Memphis, TN, Victory Gospel Crusade. Already invitations have gone out, and souls have been saved. Please pray for a mighty moving of God in our home area of metropolitan Memphis. We are barely finished with the Victory Gospel Crusade before graduation season hits, followed closely by Abigail's wedding. 

Thank you so much for your prayers.
