Stones River Baptist ChurchPreacher's Parables
In the next 90 days we have two of the greatest evangelism opportunities of the year before us. I am, of course, referring to Vacation Bible School and Revival, with one of the renowned evangelists of our time, Dr. Bill Saye. The last time Dr. Saye was with us in revival, we had a wonderful ingathering of souls! With these evangelistic opportunities ahead, allow me to encourage you to take an active part in the preparation for these great kingdom moments.
We are going to need at least twenty counselors and twenty prayer warriors. I will be teaching a training session on June 30th from 6:30 PM until 8:00 PM in the fellowship hall. If you will allow God to use you in these most important ministries, please fill out the form that is up on our website. Also we are in need of homes for revival prayer meetings. These meetings will be conducted on
Monday evening, July 21st, and Tuesday evening, July 22nd. If you would be willing to offer your home, please fill out the form on our web site but most importantly, prepare your heart and life to be a channel through which revival might flow. If we spiritually prepare for
Vacation Bible School and Revival, we will find ourselves a part of a God sized season of soul
winning.
Here are some steps you can take to prepare:
First and foremost clear your calendar for these events. If you plan to be away pray about
amending your plans so you can be a part of God’s plan.
Next, you need to examine your heart. If there are broken relationships mend them. If there are
sins of any kind, ask God to illuminate them and without delay confess them and receive God’s
forgiveness. If you find yourself unhappy with certain areas of church life ask God to take your
eyes off self and fix them on Jesus.
Then, you need to begin, now, telling everyone about these dates July 27th through July 31st for
Vacation Bible School, Cottage Prayer meetings July 21st, 22nd and August 3rd through
August 6th Revival services with Dr. Bill Saye.
Someone has already remarked that this is going to be a busy three week period in our church life, but I prefer to believe these three weeks are going to shake the church and the community with the power of Jesus, if you and I prepare for these wonderful times of
evangelism! Please, please, plan to be involved and bring at least 10 people with you each evening. If you do, hundreds of souls will come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
I look forward to each and every time we meet to experience God’s presence and Christ’s movement together. I’ll see you in each service! Your Pastor, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
