Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of the year, primarily because it means that Christmas, my favorite time of the year, is very near. We normally spend Thanksgiving at our home in Florida and finish the week by decorating our home for the Christmas season. This year was different because we spent it in…
Thanksgiving 2019 Dear Pastors, Friends, and Prayer Partners: Happiest of Thanksgivings! Psalm 92:1 – It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High. We give thanks for you who pray for us daily. We give thanks for you who invite us to partner…

I believe in revival meetings. I am an evangelist and I preach revival meetings 20-30 times every year. My grandfather was saved in a revival meeting. My dad was and so was my brother.
