Many miles before we sleep...

As we head south on I-495 thru Massachusetts, we are taking in final glimpses of New England in the fall and thanking the Lord for the opportunity to minister at East Hebron Baptist Church (Turner, ME).  Upon our arrival, we were thrilled to hear that seven teenagers had recently attended "Youth Fest" hosted by Pastor Jim Townsley of Central Baptist Church (Southington, CT). At this event, several of these teens made decisions to fully surrender to God's will for their lives.   We were so blessed to watch May, one of the teens, using her musical talents for the Lord throughout our meeting.   The people at East Hebron seemed to be refreshed by the four-day meeting,  despite the hectic schedules that many were keeping; and, as always, the folks were extremely kind and gracious to our family.  May the Lord richly bless them for that!

We have 1,600 miles to drive in the next three days, as we drive from Turner, ME, to Palos Hills, IL, to drop off our trailer for an upcoming week of meetings and then drive home to Bill Rice Ranch for next weekend's Men's retreat. Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers.

They Came with Expectancy...

 We are enjoying a beautiful, crisp Saturday morning as we trek from Denver, Pennsylvania, to Turner, Maine.    The fall color change has not disappointed, as we crest the rolling hills of New England and enjoy breathtaking crimsons, yellows and brilliant orange hues along our trip.  We praise the Lord for a fantastic week at Mount Zion Baptist church!  Our fellowship with Pastor Keith Sweitzer and the people of the church was such a blessing. Members arrived each night, bringing along many visitors with them.  It was obvious that the Lord met specific needs and stirred the hearts of the people to a closer walk with Him.    One of the highlights of the week, besides the great nightly attendance and enthusiastic spirit of the people, was meeting two men who are both currently pursuing evangelism and full-time preaching ministry.  We look forward to hearing how the Lord directs them and their families in service to Him.

We begin a Sunday thru Wednesday meeting with Pastor Paul Swihart and our friends at the East Hebron Baptist Church tomorrow. Thank you in advance for praying for our family that we would have improved health (from nasty colds) and a renewed passion to see souls saved and Christians stirred in south-central Maine.

Sincerely,



Tim and Brittany

September update

September ministry update in a nutshell...NY week-long meeting, RI family conference, impromptu trip to GA to visit family via PA and a visit to Sight and Sound theater and several Wednesday evening and Sunday preaching engagements sprinkled in. Definitely a different schedule, but what a blessing it has been to be in so many churches and to see so many loved ones!  Now, we are home in Murfreesboro for a packed week of teaching and preaching. Grateful for the Lord's guiding hand and your sincere prayers for us.
