We are still rejoicing as we reflect on the marvelous things God did in our recent revival with Evangelist Jon Randles. We felt the fresh wind of the Holy Spirit blowing through the First Baptist Church family. Jon Randles and Kim Cannon were used by God in a mighty way. Aren’t you thankful for the people whose lives were changed by committing themselves to Jesus? Aren’t you thankful for the spirit of renewal and revival that we are experiencing? Of course, all the glory and honor goes to God for His gracious movement in and through our fellowship. However, many of you are to be commended for your tenacity in praying and seeking God for revival. We all understand that the key to spiritual awakening in our church and community is prayer and seeking the face of God. Thank you for your diligence in prayer.

I want to commend all of you that helped plan and organize the various events related to our revival. The chili cook-off, the steak night, and all the other age-related events were a success because of your efforts. A special thank you goes to all of you who opened your homes for the prayer meetings prior to the revival. Again, prayer is always the key.

Many of us have made new commitments to serve our Lord in 2010 with more vigor and passion. Let’s continue to stay on our knees before Christ daily so that this spirit of renewal will continue!

Pastor Tim
