UPDATES

Hello friends,
     All is well at HMA!  I am currently in Virginia.  We had a revival in Front Royal and it went very well.  The Lord came by and helped us.  We had bigger and bigger crowds each night. Lots of visitors came from area churches and even as far away as Maryland.  We had a wonderful family from Ukraine that had 5 little children and they sang "bringing in the sheeves" in Ukrainian.  It was beautiful.  I even got it on video.
     We will be preaching around the area this and next week, mostly in churches that I have never been before.  Pray that the Lord will help me.  Also remember my precious wife as she has to  hold the fort without me for two weeks right after I was just gone for two weeks prior. 
     HMA Tulsa, Bethany Outreach, South Heights Assembly of God, RESKU International and several other ministry partners are getting together this coming saturday the 19th for our fourth annual "Thanksgiving for the Homeless".  They will be running multiple busses and vans to down town Tulsa and bringing in groups of homeless and ultra poor people to have a very special church service and dinner with them.  Rev. Robbie Reed will be preaching.  We are expecting between 4 and 5 hundred in attendance this year.
Our groups in Florida, Alabama, Texas, Kentucky and Oklahoma that I have spoken to this week are all doing very well and continuing to work toward our goal of reaching the least, the last and the lost.  Each group is trying to do something special for the Holiday season as well.  Please pray for HMA minsitries as we approach CHRIST-mas.  It is a bitter sweet time to work with the ultra poor in America.
     Please remember to give if you can to our "Christmas for the Barely Homeless".  Our  goal is well over half met but we are quickly running out of time.  This fund is set up to try to help a few dozen families that are living on the streets and in shelters in Tulsa that have lost thier homes and jobs lately.  They are not the common drug addicts, alcoholics or mental patients like we are used to dealing with.  Theses people are regular, sober, hard working folks that lived barely off of the streets and the economy finally got them down.  They are married, they have children, they have jobs and they are going to church.  Most of them live in shelters right now.  A few of them actually live under bridges and one family is actually living in the woods.  You can donate right here on line at our blog or website, or you can mail checks to HMA PO box 12 Sapulpa, OK 74067.  All donations are always tax deductible.
     Thank you so much for all of your prayers, support and friendship.  Our many ministries need and appreciate you.  God bless!
your humble servant,
