   We are still receiving reports of the touch of God many received at our 6th Annual Spring Retreat.  Many came with a testimony of the difficulty they had to overcome to make this year’s retreat but they were leaving with their wells full!  We had several churches represented with pastors and evangelists from several different states.  Each pastor and evangelist that preached, prayed, sang and made this meeting a success is such a blessing to Ronnie and I.

  We purposed for this to be for everyone laboring together and truly is has been.  Thank you to each minister that helped to make this meeting a success.  We were blessed with singers from several churches and four singing groups.  The Moyer Family from Aiken, SC…the praise team from Bible Church in Johnson City, TN…the Tabernacle of Praise singers from Waynesboro, TN and God’s Law from Royston, GA worked together to carry us into His presence night after night.  We also had special singing from Jack and Kathy Griffith from Wilkesboro, NC…LaBreeska Patton from Sparta, TN…Melanie Webb from Lawrenceburg, TN and Ramona Brazell from N. Augusta, SC.  Everyone worked together with such unity and with one purpose….to have a move of God for those coming with a need to receive.  Each retreat is a reunion of old friends and a time to meet new ones!  Everyone came drawing nigh to His presence and left renewed, refreshed and refilled. 

We are rejoicing that my Mom is doing well recovering from an accident Easter week.  She was hit broad side and her car was totaled.  She received two broken ribs and scrapes and bruises but she is healing and driving again.  We are so very thankful for God’s keeping power and kindness to our family.  We were with her on Easter morning rejoicing! 

We are excited to add a new link to our site.  My Mom shares with me thoughts she has received from the heart of God and insight she has from 59 years of serving God.  I have asked her to write some of these insights and thoughts as God speaks to her.  She will be adding nuggets from her heart on a regular basis.  I know you are going to enjoy these as much as I do!  They will be titled, “From Mom’s Heart…”. 

We have now set our face to prepare for Campmeeting 2007.  The tent lot has been secured at a new location beside Big Lots and across from the Microtel Motel on Hwy 52 South (1141 Andy Griffith Parkway).  Mike and Sally are sending flyers with the details of the meeting.  We will also be sending packets to our pastors to be posted in the churches.  If you are not on the mailing list, send us an email with your address or you can watch the site for details!  This is a time of great refreshing.  Pastors, evangelists, teachers, singers and musicians gather from several states to give and receive.  We draw from our well for others and we all draw from His well of Living Water.  You will not want to miss these meetings!  It is an old time Pentecostal tent meeting focusing on the visitation of His presence.

 There will be a Minister’s Prayer Breakfast on Saturday, July 7 at 10:00AM.  This is a great time for ministers and their spouses to come together in fellowship and share their heart.  Insights from pastors for evangelists and evangelist’s insights for pastors is a welcome part of the meeting.  It is always encouraging to hear the obstacles we are facing are common among the ministry.  When this meeting comes to an end, we are able to say that we have received “apples of gold in pictures of silver”. 

Ronnie and I have purchased a Silver Eagle bus that has been converted to a motorhome.  We are now completing the conversion hoping to have it ready by Campmeeting.  After traveling in a Toyota Corolla, GMC Safari minivan, full size conversion van, three cadillacs and two suburbans, we are excited to have our home with us without the need to move our suitcase in and out every third day.  Hold us up in prayer as we complete this new project. 

We have several ladies’ meetings scheduled in the next two months.  Check our Revival Schedule page for the dates of these upcoming meetings.  We are speaking at one service of the Bride of Christ Retreat in Renfro Valley, Kentucky.  The Christian Embassy is having a special ladies meeting in Athens, Georgia.  We will be in Sparta, North Carolina at the Full Gospel Church monthly ladies meeting on Saturday morning, June 30th during our Campmeeting.  Mark your calendar for one of these meetings and get a foretaste of what we will have in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee in November.  This will be our 8th Annual Ladies Retreat November 15-17, 2007.  Ladies, make plans now to attend! 

Ronnie and I are daily aware of a great blessing in our life.  We have many friends that are praying for us on a regular basis and we draw strength from your prayers.  We appreciate all our prayer partners and thank God upon every remembrance of you.
