Our God is so wonderful and so worthy to be praised. I wish everyone that reads this would stop for just a minute and help us praise and worship Him.
We just had Thanksgiving for the homeless in the Tulsa area with Bethany Outreach, Bethany Holiness Church, RESKU International, South Heights Assembly of God and several other ministry friends; and the homeless and the hurting were helped, fed, be-freinded, preached to, prayed for and prayed with. 171 were in attendance.
On the exact same night, one of our affiliate churches in Richmond, KY fed a thanksgiving dinner to the poor in the community and had between 350 and 400 served. Today they had a puppet ministry group for the children out of the poorer projects in thier town. Sixty some children were brought and loved and ministered to.
Today we broke our goal in our Christmas fundraiser for the barely homeless. We hoped to raise 10,000.00 by November 15th and we went just a few days over but we raised a total of 10,347.00.
My wife and I closed out revival in Catlett, VA last night and I have preached for several Brothers in Virginia and Maryland the last couple of weeks including, Pastor Jim Childress, Pastor Keith Powers, Pastor Sammy Finnley and Pastor Tyronne Gheen. Every where we went we had good crowds, good services and great altar calls.
We are preaching for Pastor Buzzy Deane tomorrow night and then flying back to Oklahoma for thanksgiving. I will be preaching during the missions conference in Donna, TX next week. Coming up on December 11th, Bethany Outreach is having thier annual Christmas for the homeless service and several of our affiliates will be helping with that. Also, on December the 10th, our affiliate church in Leesburg, FL will be involved in an effort to give away coats and new shoes that were donated by CROCS, to the homeless and needy in thier area.
We have two of our affiliates that are involved in fundraisers that you can listen to over the internet coming up in December. Saturday December 3rd Covenant Holiness Church in Leesburg, FL and many ministry friends are having a Sing-a-Thon concert to raise money for HMA. You can go to the concert if you are in the greater Orlando area or you can listen to it live on the internet. You can donate in person at the concert or give online. One week later on Saturday December 10th, Revival Tabernacle is involved in "The heart of Christmas" annual benefit singing in Richmond, KY. They will be raising money for local area needs. You can see details on both of these fundraiser concerts on our website.
Several more have been saved in Kentucky this past couple of weeks, I cannot tell how many prayed in the Thanksgiving for the homeless service and we have helped 13 more men get jobs in Tulsa through the Christmas for the barely homeless project. Now didn't I tell you that our God deserves praise!!!
The Lord has helped me very much lately, I have been lead and enabled to preach much on marriage, the family, divorce, adultery, hypocrisy, church traditions and politics...and of course drug abuse. I would like to add that we are about to release our year end newsletter, so everyone be watching for it.
Christmas time is very hard work and very expensive for our group, as well it should be, no complaints here; please just remember us through the rest of this year. Prayers, support and helping hands are more important now than ever.
If you wish you could help, but live some where else, feel free to contact us and we will give you all kinds of ideas on how to affect the kingdom of heaven by Loving the Least the Last and the Lost. Remember we have affiliates and friends that are doing similar works as ours in Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Idaho and other parts of Oklahoma. We even have people doing special works for HMA in states that we don't have ministries in yet.
God bless you and be careful and be prayerful this Holinday Season!
your humble servant,
