Another Story On WRDW

Don't you love the little commercial before our story?
Thank you Kristi for such a positive story.

Gary Hanna - San Salvador, Bahamas

Just heard from my good friend and missionary Gary Hanna in the Bahamas. San Salvador took a direct hit from the hurricane but thank the Lord they are fine. Just lost a few roof shingles. Praise the Lord. I look forward to taking some folks there at the end of this year to help him with some church renovations.

We need to pack some boxes!

Johnnie, Susan and Tyler

Supplies coming in for Disaster Relief Ministry! Rick and Candy worked especially hard today.

Disaster Supplies

YES, we will still be collecting disaster supplies even if the hurricane does not affect the Carolina coast. A trailer is already at Kroger in North Augusta and collection will begin in the morning or you may bring supplies tonight. We now have a Disaster Relief Ministry and we will always need supplies on hand for this hurricane season or any other disaster that may affect the CSRA or our state. We need to have the ability to be on the scene with aid quickly.

Please remember to help in the following areas:

Post info on social media or send email to inform others of needed supplies

Bring supplies to church or Kroger in NA or the BBQ Barn in Aiken (No trailer at Reid's yet)

Distribute fliers at work, school or other churches

Please volunteer a few hours at Kroger at the collection trailer starting Thursday morning thru Saturday (sign up tonight)

Lord willing we will see you tonight. It's a joy to serve the Lord with the wonderful people of Lakeside!

Preacher Tad

Talked to Andy Cooper in Wash. DC. He is ok thankfully!

But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? I John 3:17

Less than 3 weeks from now! Please invite people and pray for a great day.

It's always enjoyable to look at recent pictures. Thanks Bill!

Back To School Sunday

We had a great day this past Sunday honoring all of our students and teachers. Pray for these folks as they try to be salt and light in their schools this year. We were glad to have Pastor Lance Halford and his wife Sarah visiting with us as they were just taking a break from their ministry. Praise the Lord for another full to overflowing building again and continue to pray as we consider beginning an early preaching service.

Tyler got Phil Mickelson's ball again today! We had a great time.

At the PGA Championship in Atlanta with Tyler today. He is only young for a short while and I want to enjoy every moment I can with him!

Begin now to invite folks to our 4th annual 911 Sunday. What a great opportunity to reach out to the life savers in our community. The nation's attention will be on the events of 10 years ago in New York and Washington, DC but we will take the time to honor and feed our local heroes.

Pastor David Mims

I was blessed to be able to preach last night for Pastor David Mims in Denver, NC at the Beth Haven Baptist Church. I've known David my entire life (he is my cousin and more like a brother) and we've always been very close. We've shared so many ideas about ministry over the years and I am so excited that God has given him over 25 fruitful years at Beth Haven. I was impressed when he showed me the plans for their new Family Life building - looks great!

Praise the Lord that 4 more were baptized today. Great to see even more men taking a stand for the Lord. We've had a terrific summer, it's gettin' gooder and gooder! Also enjoyed the food and fellowship with the Joy class in honor of Mrs. April Kelly.

Water Wars fellowship with some young adults!

Jarrett Rifles

Spent the day today at the Jarrett Rifle factory in Jackson. I was invited by the founder Kenny Jarrett to come down and get a personal tour of his facility and museum. I was impressed to see the world's most accurate custom rifles, bought by some famous people, being made! Kenny is a dedicated Christian and I am now honored to call him my friend.
