"THANK YOU" TO NEW LIFE BAPTIST CHURCH - Dover Foxcroft, Maine

Stacie and I want to thank Pastor David Ireland and the good people at New Life Baptist Church up here in Dover Foxcroft, Maine for their hospitality and kindness they have shown to us over the last month and a half.  You may recall reading on the blog about the revival meeting here at the beginning of April.  They have graciously allowed us to use their prophet's chamber as kind of a "home base" during our time in Maine and Canada.  We have greatly enjoyed their fellowship since we have been here and will be returning at the end of July for a few more weeks up here and for their first annual Camp Meeting at the beginning of August.

ONE FINAL SERVICE AT NEW LIFE BAPTIST CHURCH - Dover Foxcroft, Maine

Tonight we will be at New Life Baptist Church in Dover Foxcroft, Maine.  Pastor David Ireland asked me last night if I would be willing to preach.  It is going to be good to see all the people again one more time before we leave town on Saturday.  The Lord gave us a great revival here last month and we are truly grateful for all that He did.

GOOD DAY AT SEBEC CORNER BAPTIST CHURCH - Sebec, Maine

It was such a blessing to be at Sebec Corner Baptist Church in Sebec, Maine yesterday.  Pastor Isaiah Hill has been the pastor here for the past 42 years.  He and his dear wife, Rene, are such sweet people and they have been faithful all these years.  I am so glad to call him my friend and one of my heroes.

The Lord gave us good services with much liberty to preach, good singing and special music, and full altars in both the morning and evening services. A 74-year old man came forward during the morning and trusted Christ as Saviour!!!  The church had been praying for him and Pastor Hill has been faithfully witnessing to him for a number of years.  

We enjoyed some wonderful fellowship and meals with the Hill's at their home after the morning and evening services and are thankful to be with them.

NEXT STOP: SEBEC CORNER BAPTIST CHURCH - Sebec, Maine

Tomorrow (Sunday, May 5th) we will be at Sebec Corner Baptist Church and I will be preaching for one of my heroes - Pastor Isaiah Hill.  He contacted me this last week and asked me if I would come preach for him.  He is a special man of God and has a wonderful testimony.  He and his wife are nice, sweet people and we are looking forward to our day there.  Thank you for praying for us!

BACK IN THE UNITED STATES...

I just wanted to give a quick testimony praising the Lord for an easy border crossing this past Thursday morning in Houlton, Maine.  We always have issues crossing into Canada with customs.  I could elaborate why, but some things are better not put in print!  We have never had problems coming back into the States until last year.  Our vehicle was searched (three times!) and we were taken inside for interrogation.  I would say for questioning but it was more of an interrogation.  So needless to say, I was a little nervous about our crossing back into the U.S. this time.  Well, by and by it went like this: the officer asked a couple questions, took a quick look inside the door, handed our passports back to me and said "Welcome Home!"  When he said those words I almost shouted out loud praising God but I was reserved...until I rolled my window up and we started to pull away - then I started shouting!!!
