NEXT STOP - ALABAMA

We have arrived safely in Alabama and are thankful for the Lord's protection.  We will be here for two weeks and visiting in various churches in the northeast area of Alabama.  It is good to be with our friends - Evangelist David Evans and his family - again.  We are grateful for the chance to stay with them and enjoy some fellowship while also visiting some churches - both new and ones we have been to before. 

Internet service will be very spotty so I will try to update when I can.  Please pray for our time there as we look for the Lord to open up some new doors.

Thank you all for your prayers!

CAMP MEETING - NEW TESTAMENT BAPTIST CHURCH - Cape Coral, Florida

Well our time in Florida has ended and we are praising the Lord for a wonderful camp meeting at New Testament Baptist Church in Cape Coral.  Pastor Bill Roan has invited us back these last three years and it was good to see all the folks again and get to know them a little better.  We had the privilege to stay with some folks who used to go to our church in Hamburg until they retired.

Even though it was a camp meeting, the Lord was really trying to draw the lost.  Every message preached - no matter what the original topic - was full of the gospel with conviction running deep.  Praise the Lord for two precious ladies coming forward and trusting Christ.  Both were dealt with about their false professions in the past and their need to give up and put their faith in the Lord.

Occasionally during a meeting like this there are people who come up after the service and talk for a couple of minutes, but almost every night there seemed to be people who needed some personal, one-on-one help.  One night I dealt with a lady for almost 45 minutes and I really believe she got the help from God she was looking for.  While not to this extent, this happened repeatedly all week long.  I am thankful for the opportunities to speak to people on that personal level and try to be a help.

The Holy Ghost really led in every service in the singing, the special music and the preaching.  Pastor Roan was excited to see God working in a real way.

Myself, Evangelist Bruce DeLange, Evangelist Paul Tripp, Pastor Eddie Wyatt and Evangelist Scott Matthews were the preachers for the week.  The Suttons, the DeLanges, Paul Tripp and the Rochesters provided the special music.

Another special blessing was to meet Bro. Steve Brown and his wife.  The Browns have a local church ministry to go to churches around the country hosting meetings and broadcast the services live over the internet.  They also produce the DVDs and CDs of the services and sell to those who want to purchase them.  Each service there was between 450 and 2000 computers logged on watching all over the world.

Here is a list of who preached during the services...

GOOD CLOSE - FULL UPDATE COMING SOON - Camp Meeting at New Testament Baptist Church in Cape Coral, Florida

We had a good day in church yesterday at New Testament Baptist Church in Cape Coral, Florida. Evangelist Bruce DeLange preached in the morning and I preached last night. The Lord gave us a great final service. The church also voted to take Bro. DeLange and myself on for support and we are truly thankful. This was a direct answer to prayer. It is always sad having to say goodbye. We have enjoyed our three years here and look forward to coming back in 2014.

I will be posting a full report and some pictures in the coming days.

2012 - THE YEAR IN REVIEW

This past year - 2012 - was a great year for us.  It was also our busiest in the eleven years we have been on the road full time.  God really has been SOOOO GOOD to the Cobb's and we are very thankful. 

We saw some people trust Christ which is the best part of serving the Lord.  There is no telling how many other decisions were made in the services of our revival meetings, camp meetings, pulpit supply, one- and two- day meetings, tent meetings, chapel services, youth rallies and so on.  Only eternity will reveal all that God has done with each and every one of us in the particular areas that God has called us.

The upcoming year of 2013 is shaping up to be another busy year and we are grateful for this as well.  Someone suggested to me to make up a map with all of the places we have been to this year.  I didn't know if I was going to publish it but once I started working on it I just looked and marveled at how the Lord has blessed us.  What a blessing to be serving the King of kings and Lord of lords!

Here is a brief summary of where we were in 2012:
  • JANUARY - Florida and Alabama
  • FEBRUARY - Indiana, New York and St. Lucia
  • MARCH - New York
  • APRIL - Maine and New Brunswick
  • MAY - Nova Scotia and Maine
  • JUNE - Indiana, New York and Ohio
  • JULY - Ohio, West Virginia and Connecticut
  • AUGUST - Maine and New York
  • SEPTEMBER - Ohio, Indiana and New York
  • OCTOBER - New York and Pennsylvania
  • NOVEMBER - Indiana
  • DECEMBER - Michigan, New York and North Carolina
