Under Construction!

As you may have noticed, there has been some changes around here! I have switched around from several different web hosting services and I think that I have finally found what will meet my future needs in evangelism! WordPress.com has been my latest choice. I am pleased with the features offered. It certainly has opportunity for much expansion in the future!

If you would have any suggestions for the site, please let me know! I hope to have everything looking decent in a few weeks as time allows.

Books, books, books…!

It is so good to be on Christmas Break and have the opportunity to read some books of my choosing!

I have a long list! Currently reading “The Battle for the Schools” by Stan Best.

This book was given to me by Dr. Dalton as a class Christmas gift. It details the recent and current struggle for Biblical integrity in our Christian schools. It presents the drifting away of many Bible colleges into the liberal arts realm. I would recommend the read. This book has taught me how important it is that I pray more earnestly for schools such as my own!

Christmas in PA

20111222-191620.jpg

I am on my way home! Flying from Portland, ME to Baltimore, MD to Lancaster, PA. My time in Maine with Elizabeth was such a blessing!

I was going to preach at Calvary Bible Church in Stratton, ME on Wednesday night, but the service got canceled due to a freshly-applied layer of ice…! What a let-down! I was really looking forward to preaching… I don’t know why, but God must have had a different plan.

I have been reading in Acts for my devotions each morning. Chapter 19 is captivating. I cannot imagine putting a entire city (Ephesus) into an uproar and then being manhandled by a mob for the name of Jesus!

Christmas Break

All of the business over the semester is over and the business of break begins! Liz and I are flying to her home in Maine where I’ll be for about five days. It will be a busy time of wedding planning and future ministry planning.

I’ll be home in PA for Christmas with my family this year! David and Amiee will even be there! I’m really looking forward to it.

Tim is preaching the New Years Eve service at my home church. I cant wait to hear him!

Quartet Trip

The ABC quartet is enjoying another day on the road! We don’t have many of these opportunities left together because this group will disband soon to make room for the new summer teams. Here a picture of our afternoon stop in the mall.

It is blessing to think of all the amazing places I’ve been able to go as a result of being a quartet member. I praise the Lord for the experiences!

God blessed in our morning service and we are looking forward to seeing what happens tonight!

Big POCE final exam tomorrow… :)

Ensemble Trip — Newton & Lexington, NC

This Sunday the Ambassador Ensemble had the privilege of ministering at Emmanuel Baptist Church located in the mountains of Newton, NC and also at Reedy Baptist Church in Lexington, NC.

The people were all very kind in both locations! The Lord answered prayer by blessing our safety traveling on the roads. Also, we saw prayer answered during the morning service through our songs.

Something different about this trip was the fact that we did not have Dr. Beal traveling with us to do the preaching. In the morning service Evangelist Bob Sanders preached, but when it came time for the evening service at Reedy Baptist Church, we did not have a preacher! It was up to us to do the service, so Doc Scovill asked me to do the preaching! I was thrilled at the opportunity! The service went well and I saw God bless. It was such a privilege to be used of God!

To be used of God to sing, to speak, to pray!
To be used of God to show someone the way.
I want so much to feel the touch of His consuming fire.
To be used of God, is my desire!

Quartet Trip

We are off on another quartet trip. This weekend is an over-night trip! It is a blessing to get away from campus for the night and stay with people that you have never met before.

You never know what may happen on these trips! You may be called on to preach during Sunday School, give testimonies, or sing every song you know. It can be interesting!

We will be in Temple Baptist Church, Jacksonville, NC and Community Baptist Church, Bladenboro, NC. We have a good group of people in this quartet and I am looking forward to seeing how God works in hearts tomorrow.

We ate a very good meal with the pastor and his family and sat around and talked for a while.
