Special Stories:
On our evangelistic trip to the Bahamas, we were privileged to do illusions and preach the gospel to thousands of children in a few Christian schools. What an opportunity! While we were there some dear friends of ours from Interlachen, FL were so gracious to install new injectors, valve cover gaskets, and glow plugs in our truck! It is running like new! Praise the Lord! Also some friends from our home church found a huge oil leak and repaired it just before we hit the road for this summer! God has really taken care of us!

In Fort Pierce, FL, a lady came for the first time that Sunday morning and got saved! She and her children came to every revival service of the week! That was such a blessing! Pastor Cooley also showed us a memorial at the church for an elementary student who died of cancer. He said according to their records, she got saved the last time we were there! Wow! Praise the Lord for letting us be a part of her receiving Christ before she died at such a young age!

In Fort Meyers, we held a kids VBS and one night 5 teenagers got saved! The gospel is so powerful! In Orlando, Lock Haven Baptist let us stay for several days where I was able to build 2 new illusions! There, I was privileged to preach a Baccalaureate service for a public high school, and 5 people got saved! Afterwards, a lady told me, “We don’t hear preaching like that anymore. It was really good!” There is still a hunger for boldly preaching the truth in love! Another big praise for me: I was backing up my truck very far from a dumpster (so I thought). When I stopped and got out, I realized I had not noticed a lower part of the dumpster sticking out. I had stopped less than half an inch from hitting it! I know that was not my skills. God was looking out for me!

When we left for Houston, we got to stop by CBC Fort Walton where I interned for 3 years during college. What an encouragement to be with our dear friends and their Pastor! I’m excited for how God is working there! On our trip to Houston, we traveled 1000 miles with no traffic slowdowns, and the kids cried for less than 2 minutes! We know y’all are praying for us. Thank you!

Our week at Southland Christian Camp was the most evangelistic camp week we have ever had! The spirit there was incredible, and we had 29 campers saved! I could specifically see the tenderness of an older boy whose heart God softened by the end of the week!

In Odenville, one night we reached a goal by having over 100 teens! We’ve been trying to see that for 10 years! Praise the Lord! On Tuesday night, God changed my message to preach on hope, and 14 teens got saved! When I went to help counsel, they did not need my help. Suddenly, a lady walk in 3 with junior age kids. I got to lead all of them to Christ! Thinking on that later, I realized the lady who brought those kids in got saved 3 years ago after hearing Carson’s story! Praise the Lord for fruit that remains!

In Saginaw, MO, I had the incredible privilege to preach at the camp where I first saw illusions and where I first surrendered to preach! It was surreal! They even brought up Bro. Ted Swope one day; he is the preacher I first saw do illusions and took me to a magic convention as a teenager! What a Joy to see this man of God who has influenced me so greatly and been of part of seeing hundreds/thousands saved!!

At Venture of Faith, God gave unusually tender hearts with 9 saved! Their new camp director is doing a phenomenal job! I especially loved the enjoyable Scripture songs and new activities he led! God allowed me to learn and perform 26 new tricks this summer! That’s helpful because it is the 6th year in a row I have preached at VFC!

In Winter Haven, Joy had to fly home for a baby doctor apt. Everything is looking perfect! We even revealed the gender during a magic trick at that VBS. We’re having a boy! At that church, Asst. Pastor Tony Elmore has so many young people he has led to Christ & discipled. I was so moved thinking about the influence of that godly man and his precious wife! There is no telling how many hundreds/thousands of people they have played a part in seeing saved! That week of VBS we had 66 saved!

This past week, Pastor Doug Jackson’s church was so kind to us! I got to help go bus calling and had several visitors come and get saved from that! We had 25 saved for the week! Joy was able to find a supportive tricycle to help with Carson. He really likes it! We were also able to finally get Carson’s crawling machine in action, and he actually crawled a few feet on it! These are huge praises!

Currently, I am at CoBeAc preaching a family camp. What an honor! We continue with 4 VBS’ after this in Ranson, WV; Fredericksburg, VA; Hamburg, NY; and Simcoe, Ontario, Canada! Please pray for souls saved and decisions made! Carson is doing well; he had a couple of days where he was upset, but I think we are past that! Addie turns 2 on Friday and is learning very quickly! Thank you for your love for our family, your generosity, and especially your prayers!
