INDOOR CAMP MEETINGS: WORKING TOGETHER TO BUILD HIS KINGDOM

Ministry Team (L to R): Tony Gore, Duane Brown, Bill Watts, Al Dicer, Janet Raeburn, Steve Raeburn)

Indoor camp Meeting

The evangelists came from Florida and Northern Indiana, the song evangelist came from Tennessee, and the children's workers came from Michigan.  They all met in Bedford, Indiana for an Indoor Camp Meeting hosted by the First Church of the Nazarene.  Area churches joined together to seek renewal and inspiration. They shared prayers and resources.

Our morning and evening services were filled with His presence as we worshiped, prayed, and learned together.  The Valley Mission Church of the Nazarene choir and Tony Gore, from Tennessee provided fantastic times of praise and music.  My co-worker, Rev. Billy Watts, preached the truth from the git-go and Steve and Janet Raeburn (Big Blast Ministries) led boys and girls to Jesus.  What a week!

An extra blessing, for me, was that host pastor, Duane Brown, and the Rayburns were lay people in a church I pastored in Michigan.  It was there they were called to ministry.  As I begin to wind down my preaching ministry, it is encouraging to know that these lives I touched but for a moment will continue to make a difference in the Kingdom.  Whose lives have you touched?  There are people all around us who have lost hope and need to know that hope is a person and that his name is Jesus.

These are the times that I feel extremely blessed and humbled.  God has been so good to my family down throughout the years and I remain excited to see what is yet to come.  Meanwhile, let's work together as long as the Lord gives us breath.  We are on this journey together and working together we can and must make a difference!
