On October 9, 2011 I preached at the Calvary Baptist Church in Quincy, Illinois. While I studied at Faith Baptist Bible College, I attended Altoona Regular Baptist Church and Pastor Mickey Farlow was the Assistant Pastor. It was good to see Pastor Farlow and his wife after all these years. I spoke for an all church Sunday School class to start off the day. In the morning service, I preached from John 3 emphasizing the gospel for the lost and encouraging the saints to use this message as a challenge to share the gospel with a friend in the next two weeks. Seven raised their hands asking me to pray for them as they look for a time that they can share with a lost friend the gospel.
On Wednesday October 12, 2011, I was able to speak to their Awana club for a family emphasis service. Many of the parents came to meet the pastor and Awana leaders and hear a special story from one of my ventriloquist friends. Please pray for those who heard the gospel, but have not trusted Christ as their Savior. Also pray that this church might take us on for support in the near future.
