December 2006…We began this month in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, with Pastor Kramer, during the AM service. Later that afternoon, we traveled to Reynoldsburg, Ohio, where we were in service with Bro. Tiller. Bro. Tiller is a tremendous leader, and visionary.  He and his wife are very kind and compassionate people, and are obviously doing incredible things in Reynoldsburg.

*On the 6th, we were in Chillicothe, Ohio, with Bro. Heskett.  He is also the presbyter of his district.  They are in the middle of a building project!  I walked through the new facilities with Bro. Heskett, and it is incredible!  

*Next, we were in service with the Bro. & Sis. Donor, of Athens, Ohio.  This family is incredible.  Bro. Donor not only serves as the pastor of this church, but he is also the youth secretary of the district.  

Located in a college town, this church is dedicated to outreach!  And their efforts haven't been in vain!  God is quickly adding to this church…. and even greater things are on the way.

A revival church with big concepts! I am thankful we have been allowed to connect with them.  If you are ever near Athens, Ohio, stop by for a visit.  You wont be sorry!

*Our last three nights in Ohio, we spent in Jackson preaching for the Triona's.  We had a fantastic time and was amazed at the great things that happened that week. Many first timer's were filled with the Holy Ghost, and baptized.                    

This pastor is dedicated to revival, and growth, and is willing to do whatever it takes to see it happen.  

*Next, back to Texas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We traveled back to Texas to work on a film project that will be used as an outreach tool.  This endeavor will take several months, and will cost approximately $25,000.

I feel obligated to share this burden with my home church family, and allow them to assist me in bringing this dream into focus, and seeing it become a reality.  Cornerstone UPC is located in Lufkin Texas, and is pastored by rev. Nathan Scoggins. He and his beautiful wife are one of the most incredible teams in Pentecost!  

(After visiting with my friend, Rev. Charles Mahaney, he decided to meet me in Lufkin, where he would be the first to endorse the project, as well as help promote it.)

We were in service together on December 17, 2006.  I basically spoke about the project and some of the details, along with the burden for it, and Bro. Mahaney then preached and received an offering for this project. He was very instrumental in the beginning phases of this project, and his influence opened up doors in strategic places.

The rest of the month was spent primarily in Houston, where we met with the producer, EJ Nolan, of Braintrust Films, and worked out the details.

We were in service at Cornerstone (our home church) a few times during December. We missed everyone, and enjoyed catching up on old times.
