WHO'S READY FOR A REVIVAL?
Vaccines are being administered, things are returning back to some normalcy, and now is the time to seriously consider having a revival meeting at your church.
Now more than ever, our country needs churches to become spiritually alive and relevant. With all of the chaos that is going on around us, we need believers to become revived and the Gospel presented.
If I can be of assistance to you, please contact me. With so many cancellations last year, I'm beginning to receive calls to reschedule but I certainly don't want to miss coming to your church.
Cell: (318) 312-0097 or Email at [email protected].
God bless you all and I'm still believing God can "do it again!"

It's that time again...

TIME TO PLAN 2020 TRIPS!
If your church or group is interested in going to Honduras on a mission trip with The Shepherd's Project next summer you need to start planning now.
2020 dates are beginning to fill up so here are our suggestions:
1. Have an interest/sign up meeting by August.
2. Set and submit your trip date by September.
3. Trip deposits due October 1, 2019. ($200 per person-non-refundable. Typically, the total individual price per trip is $1,500.00.)
4. Start praying, fundraising, and getting prepared for an event that will change you and your church!
As always, Craig Franklin is available to come and share with your church/group about trips or can be reached at (318) 312-0097 or [email protected] for any questions.

Our 2019 summer is packed with our mission work in Honduras as we lead groups through The Shepherd's Project.
With that said, we are currently filling up our 2019 fall revival schedule and our 2020 spring revival schedule.
Pray and see if God would lead you to allow us to come and help lead your church to revival through a meeting. As always, we have no set fees (in fact, we don't even talk "money"), but instead have a deep desire to see God's people get back to the basics of Christianity and for the fires of revival to fall.
We believe we are living in the last days and if there has ever been a time in the history of America, or the world for that matter, that we need revival...it is now!
If you have any questions, please call me (318) 312-0097, email me at [email protected]. If I am out of the country on assignment I'll get in touch with you as soon as I can.
To God be the glory!

Please join this massive prayer effort.

WILL YOU PRAY FOR US?
Tomorrow will be very busy packing and getting ready for our flight early Wednesday morning to Honduras. With that said, I'm posting this now, ahead of time.
From April 24-29, 16 team members from the USA will be in Honduras hosting the 8th Annual Shepherd's Conference near Ojojona, Honduras for 150 pastors and church leaders. It will be long days consisting of early mornings and late nights, hours of preaching and teaching and hours of food prep, cooking, and serving.
We are asking that all believers join with us in praying for this event. Specifically, we ask you to pray for:
1. A mighty move of the Holy Spirit.
2. Physical and spiritual strength for the team.
3. Unity among the team and attendees.
4. No problems with the pastors being able to attend.
5. Lives to be changed, pastors/leaders encouraged, strengthened, motivated, and open minds/hearts to receive the Word.
6. For Jesus Christ to be lifted high and exalted above all.
Thank you.

UNIQUE FUNDRAISING EVENT
We're at it again...working hard raising money for mission work in Honduras.
We are offering to take care of your children while you take a much need break/date for Valentine's Day.
Call Craig Franklin (318) 312-0097 to RSVP your spot.
During the time we have your children, we'll play all sorts of games, eat, watch movies, and so much more while you relax with an enjoyable day/evening free of the worries of who is taking care of your children.
There's no charge, we're just accepting donations for our mission work.
The event will take place Saturday, February 16, from 2-10 PM, at Temple Baptist Church's Family Life Center in Jena. You can leave them the entire time or just a couple of hours. Plenty of time to drive to Alexandria or Monroe for a special time!

ANOTHER YEAR
Wow! Another year has gone by and as we reflect upon all the miles, all the services, and all the decisions for the Lord we can only say, "To God Be The Glory!"
We look forward with anticipation what the Lord will do in 2019.
Serve Him with all your heart in this new year.

IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS
Despite all the commercialism surrounding this holiday, let us all remember that today is about Jesus - His birth, His life, His death, His resurrection, and salvation that is only available through Him!
Merry Christmas from all of us.

THANKING GOD
Today we'll eat more than we should but we'll make time to thank Jesus for all that he has done for us this past year.
I am continually amazed that God would choose to use someone like me and at the same time I'm eternally grateful.
May God bless each of you today and please remember to thank him for all you have.
