Dear Friends and Supporters:
Matthew 27 and 28 reveals many facts about the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. “… the Son of Man was betrayed … wearing a crown of thorns…they smote Jesus on the head…then they spit upon Him…chief priests accused Him of many things…but they cried out, away with Him…they parted His garments, casting lots upon them…a spear pierced His side…they that passed by reviled Jesus…and they crucified Jesus…Joseph wrapped Him in a clean linen cloth…and laid Him in His own new tomb…Joseph rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre…the angel said…He is not here He has risen…Jesus spake…all power is given unto Me in Heaven and in earth.”
Then Jesus gave the Great Commission to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all nations. Thank God we do not serve a dead god, but a risen Saviour and Lord. I love Easter because it’s where we get to take Jesus...

Dear Friends and Supporters:
In recent days, the trail of evangelism has lead me to churches where I held meetings in the states of Ohio, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri and New York. The Lord met with us in each church with wonderful results in salvations, baptisms, church memberships, and full-time service. One pastor said, “We have been praying for ten years for this lady to be saved, and this morning she accepted Christ.” Another preacher said, “This man was under such conviction that he waited until everybody left the church and approached me with tears in his eyes asking to be saved.” The pastor led him to Christ while everybody was driving away. Another preacher told me, “The power of God was evident in every service. It has been a long time since we have seen this many people saved.” I am so thankful how the Lord has blessed the message of the Gospel. Evangelist Dr. Joe...

Dear Friends and Supporters:
Since the early church days when the first body of believers gathered together, we have been reminding ourselves of the promise of Scripture, “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers” (Acts 2:41 and 42). We continue to remind ourselves of our responsibility to win people to Christ, to carry out our responsibility of teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer. That is God’s prescription for all churches. It is a magnificent plan of God. Does it work? “And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart. Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should...

Dear Friends and Supporters:
During the winter months, I spent many hours overseeing the preparation for a cemetery at Mt. Salem Revival Grounds. I have always wanted to have a place for our staff and church families to bury their loved ones. Mrs. Ella Breedlove, who is one of our own, has stage four colon cancer. Ella told me she wanted to be buried at Mt. Salem. I promised her that I would work hard to complete the cemetery.
We had to remove trees, excavate the property, prepare the land for the survey, and had paperwork completed by our attorney. Finally, I was able to file our new cemetery at the West Union Courthouse. The new cemetery is named “Old Bethel.”
I have recently been with Pastor Mark Biter and Heritage Baptist Church of Martinsburg, PA; Pastor Gary Lovens and New Heights Baptist Church of Ft. Wayne, IN; Pastor James West and Faith Baptist Church of Osterburg, PA; Pastor Merideth Sears and Coastal Light Baptist Church of Charleston, SC;...

Dear Friends and Supporters:
The first half of December, my revival trail has led me to four different churches in Texas. There have been many people saved, baptized, and dozens of others have made decisions for Christ.
This year, Donna and I have been blessed with a new daughter-in-law, Katie Jo Taylor, who married our son, Ryan, in September. Our hearts are full of thankfulness with the recent announcement that Randy and Joy are expecting their fifth child. The baby is due in August. Even though Donna and I are experiencing the empty nest syndrome, we enjoy our six grandchildren who liven up our home. They are all such a blast!
My ministry prayer request for 2012 is:
- We must increase monthly supporting churches.
- Schedule revivals for the new year.
- We need to increase more churches to attend Mt. Salem Revival Grounds and the God Save America Conferences.
The reality is that we need more churches...
