From my heart....

On my last post we were just 15 days away from Campmeeting and filled with excitement to see what the Lord had in store for us.  There was no way we could have expected it to be as great as it was! 

The Campmeeting set a record for us as perhaps the greatest ever.  By the 4th night, my brother's daughter Casey gave her heart to the Lord and was filled with the Holy Ghost almost immediately.  This was the second one to be filled...Jordan Ahart from Parkersburg, WV (part of the youth group traveling with Brother Hamby) was the first!  Our hearts were so elated seeing another member of our family saved and so gloriously filled with His precious Spirit.  Nothing could have prepared us for Monday night!  Mike's daughter, granddaughter and 8 others received the Holy Ghost and then Tuesday 7 more, Wednesday 6 more, Friday 16 more and Saturday 7 more for a total of 46 filled with the Holy Ghost during the Campmeeting!  Every night His presence would fill the tent like a wind blowing and soon there were 100 or more people in the altar seeking and praying with those seeking until they began to receive His infilling over and over again!

Soon the news began to spread as we posted our updates on facebook and friends drove in from 4 and 5 hours away as their children were hungry to be filled...each one left with exactly what they came for!  I have never seen such an outpouring of His Spirit for the Baptism! 

We also had 5 saved and many healed as His presence filled the tent night after night.  The meeting built to 300 by Friday night with such an outpouring of His Spirit!  We are still rejoicing as we watch the dvds of the meetings.  I have several of the dvd packages prepared for anyone interested...you can check our tape page for details.

On the Sunday service following Campmeeting in Mike's church in Cleveland they had one of their members filled and Sunday night in NC Pastor Ledford had 3 more filled and every few days since then we are receiving reports of this outpouring  continuing...even last night in Grundy, VA in their Campmeeting Mike called to report another 3 filled!  There is such a move on right now that came without warning...nothing we did to start it and we are being so careful not to stop it!  Churches in WV, VA, AL, TN, NC, FL are calling and emailing giving us reports of how He is moving in their services!  This is a great time to be in meetings and I encourage you to reach for His Presence as never before!

My heart is filled with thanksgiving and amazement as I watch His hand move night after night in the meetings.  We are setting our face now to our September Georgia Campmeeting with Pastor William Sisum, Fall Campmeeting in October with Pastor Marlene Austin and then our 10th Annual Ladies Winter Retreat in Pigeon Forge, TN in November!  Watch our site for all the details and we look forward to seeing you this year in meetings as He continues to pour out of His Spirit!

From my heart....

Campmeeting is 15 days and counting!  We have the lot reserved, prayer breakfast room is secured, mail is out and we are sooo ready for Campmeeting!  We start on Thursday, June 24 and continue through July 3 for 10 nights of heaven on earth.  It will be an old time gospel tent Campmeeting...outside in the big tent...pastors and evangelists coming from many other areas and singers and musicians gathering together to worship the Lord.  We are receiving word from several states with their eyes turned toward Mt Airy, North Carolina!  Saturday, the 3rd is our minister's prayer breakfast at one of the local restaurants.  It is a wonderful time of fellowship for pastors and evangelists to share together.  We will be filming each night and will have the meetings on dvd after each service and available after the meeting is over.  You will be able to purchase the dvds from our website at the end of the meetings.  This always has proved to be such a time of visitation and we expect no less this year!  Make your plans now to attend!   

We are so excited about what we are seeing the Lord do in the meetings at this season of ministry.  We are seeing souls saved and filled with the Holy Ghost.  A fresh anointing has come to walk with us in the meetings and we are so thrilled to see what He will do from one night until another.  We see bad reports all around us in this world but I see good reports in the Kingdom of God...He is faithful to His people...and He hears and answers prayer!  Turn your eyes upon Jesus....look full in His wonderful face....and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace!

We are praising God that since my last entry we have seen 4 of our family give their life to Jesus Christ!  My brother, Mike Ferree pastors in Cleveland, TN and his 3 son-in-laws and his daughter have all surrendered their life to the Lord since the first of April!  We are all rejoicing and thanking God for His goodness to us...

We look forward to seeing you soon in a revival near you.  Hold us up in prayer as we continue to carry this glorious gospel of Jesus Christ to our mission field....America!
