We Are So Blessed!

We're back at home after a long (for us, anyway) weekend. We traveled 750 miles, singing Friday night at Lakewood Campground in Myrtle Beach, SC, Saturday night at First Presbyterian Church, Loris, SC and Sunday morning at White Plains Baptist Church in Jefferson, GA. We really do appreciate your prayers for us as we travel and minister. We serve a truly awesome God, and He always, always supplies our every need.

I just want to share a little of our weekend, as a testimony of how faithful God is and how He worked in our midst these past few days. Just outside of Columbia Friday afternoon, our bus generator stopped working, among other things we lost the use of our air conditioning. It doesn't take very long for a bus to become a 40 foot convection oven. We arrived at Lakewood soaking wet, to set up our equipment and sing outside. Although we knew we had a long, hot night ahead of us on the bus, we all had a gentle peace that assured us that everything was going to be alright. After we sang, and loaded everything back in the bus, our bus technicians (Phillip and Stephen) analyzed the situation. (Of course, Joe and I were there for them to consult with!) They were hoping to find the main breaker, but in all their years of experience with this bus, inside and out, they'd never seen one. By an unmistakable touch of God's hand, the main breaker was discovered. We slept like babies in some of the most beautiful air conditioning we've ever experienced.

We experienced the presence of the Holy Spirit among God's people at every location along our way. And we felt a true spirit of worship each time. We shared some joys and we shared some burdens along the way. At some point along the way, each of us experienced a special touch or a prick of the heart that gives you the assurance that God is moving in your midst. I can assure you, man cannot manufacture what I felt in every service this weekend. It is exciting to be a part of what God is doing, and I can't wait to get back out there to see what He's going to do next!

God has blessed The Carolina Boys in so many ways, both as a group and as individuals. The past few months have been amazing. We are very aware that Satan will do everything he can to prevent the Kingdom's advance. I ask you to pray with us and for us that we will continually seek His face and that we'll do only those things that glorify His name.
