Wednesday, February 4, 2015: Jerry Linhares and I visited with Rich Nadler.
Rich had a manifestation of God speaking to him. As he was traveling to meet
us from Ruston to W. Monroe, at the Crystal Clear sign, it happened again!
He was asking God, "Where do I go from here?" At that instant an Air Force
truck passed him with a yellow sign on it which said. "Move straight forward."

A Memory from David Lindsay

2/7/2019

Monday, February 4, 2019: A Face book recording from David Lindsay for my
mother, Ginger Lindsay, and me helping to lead worship at Antioch Baptist Church
in Rayville about 30 years ago. My uncle, Terry Karen Hart Rainbolt was leading.

"I Exalt Thee" is a favorite song of mine. My mother and I played it together many
times. I believe that we were live on the radio at this event. This song is also special
to me because my mom took me to see one of my favorite performers, Phil Driscoll,
at Louisiana State University in Ruston because she knew that it was important to me.

We sang this song at church on Sunday this week. It brought tears to my eyes and
many happy memories of my mother.

Saturday, February 2, 2019: Workplace Testimony: by Kevin Nugent

Over the last several years, I worked with a man who was the Safety Manager for our company. His position was very stressful, as many of ours are, and I could relate. Working directly with him on many occasions, it was evident he was struggling and was not a man of God. One particular day, he was extremely stressed and I approached.

him in his office and asked could I pray for him. He asked me, “Kevin, you have a stressful position too but you’re always positive and seem to be handling the pressure. How do you do it?” He said “I want what you have”
This was an opening to share the Love of Christ with him and confess that the source of my joy and strength was Jesus. I shared with him how Jesus was the answer and He does not desire us to be held down with stress and fear but walking in freedom and living an abundant life.

I prayed over him that day and continued praying for him consistently over the next several months. He eventually left our company to take up employment elsewhere and we lost contact with each other. Last Sunday, Sheila and I were in the grocery store after the morning Services at Cook and I saw this bearded man approaching me at a fast pace. As he got closer, I recognized him as Don, that former Safety Manager. He just grabbed me and hugged me tight right there in the middle of the store and he said “I found Him! I found Jesus!

I now understand the Peace and Joy you were talking about and I am walking in freedom because I have given my life to Christ and you were the one that God used to bring me to Him!” We rejoiced together and my heart was happy! We exchanged phone numbers

and vowed to stay in touch with each other. All Glory to God! Thank you Lord Jesus!
Often times we do not see immediate results when we share the Love of the Lord with others but we know we are planting seeds and we just keep praying that those seeds will be fertilized and produce a harvest of saved souls! Pray without ceasing! (1 Thess. 5:17)

Thanks,

Kevin Nugent

God's Favor

Sunday, January 27, 2019: A testimony from Gene Norman; Gene’s Mercury automobile needed a lot of repair. He had the repair that was needed estimated, the cost of this is more than the value of the car. Gene worked with Van Trow to get a use vehicle. They found Gene Nissan and was able to work the payments out according to his budget.

Today at church a friend moved by the Lord Jesus handed him a check for $12,000 to pay off the loan. Needless to say, he was excited and appreciative for the grace of God and also for the church member. We rejoice with those that rejoice. Praise God! We also thank the individual for his gracious gift!

Testimony from My Friend in Kenya

2/1/2019

Thursday, January 24, 2019:

Dear Pastor Robert,
Greetings from Kenya. The Lord has been gracious to us this new year and we have seen His power as we touch many lives. I have been away in the village doing ministry reaching one person at a time.
To begin with we have a testimony of what the Lord is doing in our son Moses' life. As you have been praying for him; the Lord has answered the prayers by changing him totally. He could be rotting in jail were it not for the wise counsel and prayers from you. He is now serving the Lord in our fellowship and he goes around reaching other youth testifying of the faithfulness of God to him.
I have led many desperate people to Christ by the sharing of the Word of God. There are people in the village who have lived in poverty and rejection for a long time and we reached them with God's Word they came to him and now they are fully in our fellowship after realizing that Jesus died for them.
There is this woman who had been admitted in hospital for three years and when we went to minister to the sick in hospital, we lad hands on her and instantly the Lord healed her of a strange sickness that even the doctors knew not.
I will send you a few pictures of the people we reached for Jesus.
God bless you.

2019 Mission Report Part 4 by Whit Bass

1/31/2019

EVANGELISM INSTANCES

In this pic below, you can see Hannah anointing the children with olive oil to pray prayers of dedicating them to the Lord. Hannah gave words of prophecy over the children as Evangelist Mario Venzor looked on. Soon after this pic, Hannah Teal and her friend Makayla Boyte jumped in and also began to lay hands on the children to pray for them right after I had just finished telling the story of how God rescued Hannah from destruction. All of that prompted me to have her pray over the children. We saw many touched by the power of the Lord. I wasn’t able to be in the field this time, since I was training; but there were healings and powerful encounters. Jennifer Teal was able to experience for the first time placing her hand on a man’s leg in need of healing and she said she felt miraculous power flow through the man’s leg, but this year the beauty of the trip was in seeing the Kingdom of God expand.

The Evangelism opportunities transpired in this way: One part of our team taught and trained at the mission while the other part of our team went out to minister through face to face encounters within restaurants (two to four each time we ate), soccer fields (fourty-five led to Christ at a soccer field the team was just passing by and Mario wanted to stop and share and then another seventeen between two other soccer fields) while in the Television Station Studio there were nine staff converted. The last day before we were to catch the flight in San Pedro while in Tela, an entire high school football team was brought to Christ that was running along the beach and Mario led thirty-six young men to Christ. There were other encounters, but these are the ones I was made aware of. Even as we were about to baptize at the river one young teen came forward to be saved and baptized so Pastor Dario led him to Christ. David Lindsay and Dewayne Bell were asked to baptize the Children. I was given the opportunity to baptize yet I yielded to Dewayne since I had preached a brief message the night before on Baptism out of Romans 6 and we prayed over each kid individually. Dario said that the month of January 2019 has been the most baptisms he has ever remembered since hosting mission groups. I think these baptisms added up to over twenty so far in January. A special thanks to Tim Smith our trip leader for diligently planning all year long; as well as our brother Gary Lively helping us along the way. Team Members that participated: Tim Smith, David Trapp, Mario Venzor, Jennifer Teal, Hannah Teal, Makayla Boyte, John McCormick, Dewayne Bell, David Lindsay, Hannah Bass and Whit Bass.
