WHERE WE WERE IN 2015 - Map

This is just a fun post we started doing a few years back when a friend of ours suggested to us to start posting a map once a year with little dots on it showing folks where we have been.  She thought it would be a neat thing for her kids to see where "Uncle Craig and Aunt Stacie" travel to.  Well - here it is!  I am sure it will be a great encouragement to all of you! (haha!)

Seriously - it is a blessing when we stop and think about all of the places God allows us to go to.  It is always our prayer that He would use us in ways that He would see fit and we praise Him for the opportunity we have to serve the Lord.

JANUARY 2016 PRAYER LETTER

There will be some updates coming to the website in the next few days (December/January report, updated schedule, etc.) but here is our latest prayer letter...


January 26, 2016

Dear Praying Friends,
It is with grateful hearts that Stacie and I send you greetings.  We want to thank you very much for all of your prayers and support of our ministry in evangelism.  This past August marked 14 years of traveling the roads full time.  God has certainly been very good to us and has provided every need according to His will and we stand in amazement and deep gratitude for all of His blessings.

2015 ROUND UP:
The Lord really gave us some great meetings last year.  We saw some folks respond by trusting Christ and saw a few sparks of what I would classify as true, heaven-sent revival.  It was a joy to see the mighty hand of God move in the services and for folks to just get out of the way and let Him do whatever He wanted to.  Space does not permit me to go into detail like I want to.  The last half of the year found us in Ohio, Maine, New York, Texas, Alabama, back to New York, Pennsylvania, back to Ohio, Michigan and then home for the holidays.  It was a joy to be home and preach at our church during the Christmas/New Year’s weeks in order to give my preacher a well-deserved break.

2016 THUS FAR and LOOKING AHEAD:
I started January in Cape Coral, Florida at New Testament Baptist Church and then went to Houston, Texas for the camp meeting at Shady Acres Baptist Church.  While I was in Texas my preacher ended up in the hospital with meningitis, MRSA and a severe sinus infection for which he will need surgery.  Our original plan when I returned was to head to Maine to help New Life Baptist Church out for a couple of months over the winter.  My pastor’s health necessitated the postponement of this trip.  I have been preaching here for the past couple of weeks and will continue to do so for the near foreseeable future and will wait for the Lord’s leading on our trip to Maine as all depends on his health.  I would earnestly ask for you all to put Pastor Kent Kirchmeyer on your prayer lists and keep praying for his continued recovery.
