BUCK SETTLEMENT BAPTIST CHURCH FALL REVIVAL Days 3-5 - Bath, New York
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!

DAYS 2 & 3 - BUCK SETTLEMENT BAPTIST CHURCH FALL REVIVAL - Bath, New York
It is only three days into this meeting and if it ended right now I would have to say that it would have to be the best meeting we have ever had at Buck Settlement. God has blessed us with His presence each and every single service. Monday night was tremendous and last night was even better!
There has been such a spirit of genuine worship and the verse that comes ringing loud in my heart is Psalm 148:14 - "He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints..." God likes it when we exalt, worship and magnify HIM and that is exactly what has been happening this week. There has been special music, congregational singing, preaching and testimonies that have all been doing one thing: WORSHIPING GOD and lifting Him up.
Monday evening Evangelists Gary Lutrick and Lee Roy Dalrymple preached. Last night it was myself and Bro. Dalyrmple. The Lord has been in all of the messages and the invitations have been wonderful. It is a blessing to see people staying at the altar until they are done doing business with God instead of just simply getting up and going back to their seat when they notice other people doing the same.
We are looking forward to seeing God move again tonight and the rest of the week.

BUCK SETTLEMENT BAPTIST CHURCH FALL REVIVAL DAY #1 - Bath, New York
Yesterday was the start of the annual fall revival at Buck Settlement Baptist Church. It was also a very special day celebrating 25 years of faithful service by Pastor Greg & Mrs. Wendy Ferguson. I had the privilege of preaching the Sunday School hour and the Lord gave us a good service.
The second hour service was absolutely indescribable. It was more than just one of those "you just had to be there" services. The Lord manifested His sweet presence in such a wonderful and marvelous way. It was truly an old fashioned, genuine, Holy Ghost WORSHIP service. There was no modern, fake or phony junk. I want to keep on trying to explain it but any attempt would be feeble and incomplete. Suffice it to say God showed up!
After the worship service Pastor Ron Aebersold from Central Baptist Church in Corning, New York preached. Pastor Aeborsold was Bro. Ferguson's pastor before he came to Buck Settlement. It was a special message to honor the Ferguson's.
After the service we had dinner on the grounds outside under a tent and let me tell you - fall was definitely in the air with temperatures around 55 degrees. Just before dessert was served it started raining. The cold, damp weather did not ruin the spirit of the day in any way. After the meal we moved back into the church for an "honoring service" for the Fergusons. There was some special music, a video presentation and lots of heart-felt testimonies from the church members. The Ferguson's were also presented with some spectacular gifts from the church. Lots of people came together and have been planning this day for over a year and a half and their hard work really paid off. Bro. and Mrs. Ferguson were very surprised and appreciative for all that was done for them.
I have posted a few pics of the day below and will be working on a photo gallery to upload soon. I will put out a post to let everyone know when that is up.
