The Lord continued to bless the services on Wednesday thru Friday. Wednesday night the plan was for Evangelists Gary Lutrick and Lee Roy Dalrymple to preach. Like in the services Sunday, Monday and Tuesday - the Lord really showed up during the worship and blessed us with a holy visitation. The worship part of the service was filled with singing, praising and people hitting the altar. This went on for about an hour and it was sweet. God led to only have Bro. Lutrick preach this night and again there was a great altar call.
Thursday night was a very good service with myself and Bro. Lutrick preaching. Bro. Dalrymple had to fly home so he was not in the services Thursday and Friday night. God gave a good (but different) spirit in the service. An unexpected surprise was my friend, Bro. Jerry Walsh stopping in for the service. Bro. Walsh is a missionary printer from Pacolet, South Carolina. He was on his way to New Hampshire for a deputation meeting. I haven't seen him in over a year so it was a great blessing to fellowship with him after the service.
Friday night is always an exciting service during this meeting. All week long local pastors came out and supported the meeting and this was a blessing and encouragement to Pastor Ferguson and the church. I preached first tonight and then Bro. Lutrick closed it out. As was the case all week, God really blessed and helped us preach and we were thankful. I do not mean to sound redundant, but again the Lord showed up and blessed us with His presence.
The week could be described as an old-fashioned, Holy Ghost, worship meeting. Pastor Ferguson really wanted to have an encouraging meeting because some families in the church have really been thru some trials in recent weeks. Included in these difficult times was a church family losing their entire farm to a fire about three weeks ago. Bro. Ferguson's prayers were answered and people got the help and encouragement that was needed.
The meeting technically ended tonight (Friday) but Bro. Lutrick and I stay over to preach on the Sunday after. I am really looking forward to meeting with the Lord again in the house of God on Sunday!
