This past Sunday, May 24, Misty and I made our way to Sulphur to worship the Lord with Pastor David Durland and the congregation of Sulphur Baptist Church. Pastor David has been preaching through the book of Matthew and shared a message from chapter 10:26-42. Up to this point in Matthew, Jesus has been equipping the twelve to live as those who have submitted to Jesus as King. Now, He is sending them out to live what He has taught and modelled for them. He warns them of what they will face, and calls them to have a fearless faith. This call to the twelve to is a call to all of us who claim Jesus as Lord and King. Let us go forth in faith as well, living by the truth and sharing the name and love of Jesus.

I was also able to bring to Bro. Some Gospel to Every Home materials that he and the church will be using as they make contact with all the folks who live in the Sulphur area. May God bless their efforts as they go, and may many come to faith in Jesus our Lord!

Was able to get a picture of David and his wife, Carissa, after the service. I am so thankful for them both! They have a true heart for serving the Lord.

Sunday evening, on May 17, I went out to Providence Baptist Church, where Pastor Travis Hearne and his congregation were holding their spring revival. The music was led by Soul Serene, a talented group of college students who grew up in the church. And the message was delivered by Bro. Jake Stone, a Baptist historian and the Associate Seminary Librarian at SBTS. Bro. Jake preached from Philippians 1:1-30 and talked about the marks of a Gospel partnership found in the first chapter of Paul's letter to the church in Philippi. These marks include Fellowship in Gospel Grace, Joy in Gospel Proclamation, Confidence in Gospel Living, and Hope in Gospel Suffering. Thank you, Bro. Jake, for a message that was both encouraging and challenging to all in attendance. Bro. Jake will be continuing his series of messages from Philippians over the next three days as Providence BC and their guests gather each evening at 6:30 pm. May God bless them with true revival as they gather to worship Him and listen to His Word.

Sunday, May 17, Misty and I travelled to Trimble County to worship the Lord with the sweet fellowship of believers at Union Grove Church. It was also great seeing Bro. Don Wright and his wife, Bambi. Bro. Don began his time as pastor at the church on the first Sunday in May. Congratulations, Bro. Don! May God bless you and Bambi in this new chapter in ministry. Bro. Don preached from Proverbs 3:1-12 and highlighted 4 "compass points" in the passage that will help guide us as we live for Christ. These compass points are Trusting God, God's Promises, Godly Discipline, and Godly Relationships. Thank you, Bro. Don, for sharing this wisdom from God's Word. I am praying for Pastor Don and Union Grove Church. Won't you pray with me?

Back on Sunday, May 10, I had the privilege of preaching at Mt. Vernon Baptist Church where Bro. Alex McGaughey is the pastor. Misty and I enjoy worshipping the Lord with this congregation. They are always so kind and we are thankful that we could be with them on Mother's Day. Please join us in praying for Pastor Alex and the good folks at Mt. Vernon. May God bless them and do great things in their midst.

This past Sunday afternoon, Misty and I were pleased to attend the dedication of Lockport Baptist Church's new building. This new facility has been an amazing work and blessing from God. From the time that their church building in Lockport flooded in early spring of 2025, to the day that they were able to hold their first worship service in the new building at the end of last year, God has done amazing things among them! From providing land to buy at the top of Lead Mine Rd and a contractor and builder to build the building, to providing the finances and volunteers from the church and community to do a portion of the work themselves, God has proved over and over that He is at work in this church. Pastor Paul Briscoe and the church leaders have trusted the Lord and followed His lead by leading the church through prayer, a sensitivity to the Spirit, and by setting forth a example to be followed. God has even blessed the church with increased attendance and new members throughout the transition. I join with Bro. Paul and his congregation in praising God for all that He has done, and will continue to do among the good folks at Lockport BC!

I'm thankful for the opportunity I had this past Sunday, to share God's Word with Pleasant View Baptist Church. And I am praying for Pastor Howard (JR) Sparkman and the congregation as they continue to share the Gospel with the community. May God bless them and use them in might ways for the sake of His kingdom and glory.

This past Sunday, April 26, I had the privilege of preaching at Pigeon Fork Baptist Church. Misty and I enjoyed worshiping with the gracious people there. They are currently searching for their next pastor after the retirement of Bro. Vernon Carpenter. Please join me in praying for the Lord to guide and bless them through the search process.

Thankful for the opportunity to go on a mission trip last week to Dayton, Nevada with a great bunch team members and KY Changers from within our Network, and beyond our Network. Burks Branch BC, Simpsonville BC, and Highland BC were all represented on the team, as well as FBC Mt. Vernon, Carter Creek BC, Yellow Creek BC, Summit Hills BC, and Island BC. We were in NV to serve Calvary BC in Dayton where Les Wesley is now the pastor. Projects completed included painting walls and trim, installing 2700 sq ft of flooring, installing 22 windows with new painted trim, installing new painted baseboards, expanding a sound booth, rebuilding some cabinets and reinstalling them along with the counter top and sink in a church member's home, installing a new swamp cooler in another church member's home, and repairing the sub floor and installing new flooring in two bathrooms. I didn't get pictures of everything, but here are pics with most of the work we did. We also worshiped with the folks of Calvary Baptist on Sunday, April 19. Bro. Jon Caranna, pastor of Burks Branch BC, brough a great message of encouragement to the church.
