Good evening dear friends and family! On last Sunday it was my privilege to try to say a few words of encouragement and exhortation to some folks about where our dear friend, Claudius Skeen now resides. He has been promoted home with Jesus for to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord!! We bless the Lord that he is no longer sick nor in pain but is free from all the former things of this life , enjoying life better than ever. Oh what a promise now being fulfilled.
The Good Lord willing I'll be with Bro Scott Dean and the good folks at White Horse Heights Baptist Church in Greenville SC in the morning with Sunday school at 10am and preaching at 11am. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to be with these dear Saints tomorrow morning. Then tomorrow afternoon at 6pm, Lord willing, I'll be singing at Tabernacle Baptist Church on White Horse road with Pastor Doug Benton also in Greenville SC.
We invite any and all who can attend to be with us. If you can't attend in person please be praying for the manifested presence of the Lord to be with us, stirring, searching, saving and sending.
May the blessings of the Lord be multiplied to you all!

Hello again dear friends and family! Hope you all are doing wonderfully well ! I was sitting here studying my schedule and discovered that June 22nd and June 29th are still open. That's a bit unusual and a little disheartening. I want to be busy for the Lord as long as I have strength and health to do so. If any of you are interested in either of those Sundays please get in touch with me. And I would appreciate you sharing this info with all on your friends list as well.
The manifold blessings of the Lord enrich and excite and enable all of you!

Claudius Merle Skeen went to live with Jesus on May 21 . We came to know Claudius and his late wife Sue in the early 90's when they started coming to the Singing in the Smokies. They were faithful to come each year to the singing but always attended prayer meeting. They chose to pray, encourage and support our ministry. After Sue went to be with the Lord, Claudius began coming to visit us and traveling with me in the last 3 years when my wife would need to stay to help with her mom. He became a good friend and a part of our family. We're near his former home in St. Albans WV to help celebrate his promotion to his new heavenly address today. Please, pray for us as we attempt to honor him by honoring the Lord in this service. Our desire is to know that his family and friends are prepared and ready to see Claudius again.
May the manifold blessings of the Lord enrich your lives today.

Hello dear friends and family! Is been great so far in the meetings in GA and in FL. We just finished Jubilee at Harmony Baptist in Plant City FL where we really enjoyed being part of the festivities there. Those folks have been so special to us for many years and this year was one of the best yet. Good Lord willing we start another meeting in the morning at the Central Baptist Church in Lithia on Lithia Pinecrest Rd which we pray will turn into real revival. The meeting is scheduled to go through Wednesday night. This is our first time to be here and we’re excited about what the Lord will do among us. Then on Thursday March 30th we move up to Lakeland FL to begin revival meeting at a church that has been precious to us for many years, the Bethany FW Baptist Church on the corner of Maine and Iowa streets. Please be praying for a strong powerful move of the Holy Spirit in the services and in the lives of all who attend. Blessings be multiplied to you all.
