MOVING ON!

Things are at full-throttle and wide-open around here right now. God is doing some great things in the ministry at Peoples Baptist Church. We have just concluded our "Awesome August" preaching on Wednesday nights, and every speaker was right on target. The crowds have been great, and the spirit here has been at an all-time high.

We have our lights installed on the football field, and the stadium should be in very soon. It is so much fun for our people at the "Friday Night under the Lights" football games. At every corner, there are good things happening and people busy in the ministry. One great highlight was the Rainer family being baptized together last Sunday night. Bro. Boggs won the children to Christ when he interviewed the family for school. That gave me an open door to go to their house and win the dad (Joe Rainer) to Christ. The church broke into applause when Dad, Mom, Jane, and Joey were all baptized together. Winning people to the Lord is better than any sporting event in which we could ever participate.

If you look on the events page of our website you will see that September is packed full of good things. I want to encourage all of you to get involved in the ministry. It is so much fun serving the Lord. But, be very sure that the devil is mad and will try to get Christians to fall. Take heed, beware, and stay close to Jesus; and let's enjoy the blessings of God.
