Dear Friends and Supporters:
Our highest priority as Christians is to get people saved and to glorify God. Revival is the need of the hour in America for individuals, families, and churches. In the last five churches I have been in, the Lord has allowed us to see over 50 saved. This week while I was at a dentist appointment in Panorama City, CA, I was able to lead two of the dental assistants to Christ. My dentist, Dr. Yvonne Arafiles who is a great witness for Him, had sowed good seeds and together we reaped a harvest!
The National God Save America Revival Conference was a blessing and a powerful conference. Every preacher had the right message. The Courtyard Marriott in downtown Ft. Wayne, IN, was beautiful and perfect for our nightly meeting place. The New Heights Baptist Church and Dr. Gary Lovens were gracious hosts in every way. There was nothing left undone or uncovered. There were many wonderful friends and visitors from the surrounding...

Dear Supporter:
None of us want to receive that phone call bearing heartbreaking news. But on September 16th, I received word from my youngest brother, Greg, that our sister, Cindy, did not survive a massive heart attack. Cindy was my oldest sister and she would have been 56 on October 30th. Cindy and her husband, George Bicknell, were faithful members at Open Door Baptist Church of Mesquite, TX. Cindy loved singing in the church choir. She was a loving and kind sister to our family. I know George and their children, Joshua Bicknell and Katrina Sigstad, would appreciate your prayers at this time. My sister, Cindy, will be sorely missed.
On a happier note, just a few days later on Saturday, September 24th, our son, Ryan, married Katie Johnson. Their wedding was held in her hometown of Ft. Wayne, IN, at the New Heights Baptist Church. Donna and I are very happy for Ryan and Katie as they plan their new lives together. They will be residing at Mt. Salem Revival Grounds.

Dear Supporter,
In June and July, my travels took me to Wisconsin, two churches in Tennessee, Ohio, two churches in West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. I also had the honor of giving the charge for two weddings.
Less than two weeks ago, Mt. Salem Revival Grounds ended its 2011 summer camp weeks. The weeks were well attended, hundreds of decisions were made for Christ and 77 people accepted Christ as their personal Saviour. God is so good!
Please mark your calendar concerning a location change for this year’s National God Save America Revival Conference scheduled for November 7-10, 2011. It will NOW be held in Ft. Wayne, IN. The host pastor and church is Dr. Gary Lovens and the New Heights Baptist Church. The exact location will be announced in just a few days. Due to circumstances beyond Dr. Biggs’ control, he will be unable to host this year’s conference that was previously scheduled at...

Dear Friends and Supporters:
The King James Bible turns 400 this year. God has preserved and inspired our Holy Bible. We believe that the Bible is the written Word of God. It is infallible, Divine Authority in matters of faith and life. I don’t believe that it WAS inspired or WAS preserved. But, I believe it IS inerrant and therefore IS the truth. From the Genesis account of the devil changing and perverting the Word of God, so too has man shared in its lies and has had a desire to undermine God’s authority. They would teach that the Bible is no longer inspired. I would ask who removed its inspiration if God has inspired it. “Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish aught from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you” (Deuteronomy 4:2). I do not believe in limited inspiration. II Timothy 3:16 clears...

Dear Friends and Supporters:
It doesn’t matter if we are young or old, rich or poor, or where we live; 2011 is a brand new year for all of us. We have this entire year to make a difference and serve the Lord better. Every year provides terrific opportunities to do more for the Lord. Already, I have been in two churches in Alabama. This week, my wife and I will be going to a church in Michigan where I will be preaching for Dr. Gary Biggs. The following day, we will have a leadership organizational meeting for the National God Save America Revival Conference. The conference will be held November 7-10, 2011 in Boyne Falls, MI at the Boyne Mountain Resort. The theme of the conference will be “I Found the Book.” We will also be attending the wedding of Christina Araiza and Brandon Jenkins. The Araizas have worked with us for many years and have been long-time friends since the...

Dear Friends and Supporters:
As this year is coming to an end, I want to thank you for your faithful prayers and financial support. It would be impossible to stay on the road in evangelism without the help of God’s people and the support of local churches.
I am so excited to be home with my family for Christmas. I have only been home a total of two weeks since August 1st. There have been well over 200 saved, along with hundreds of other decisions made for Christ. Last month, the 2010 National God Save America Revival Conference was held at the beautiful Boyne Mountain Resort in Boyne Falls, MI. Dr. Gary Biggs and Landmark Baptist Church worked hard to make sure the conference was a success. Most of the services were so powerful that the invitations were extended several minutes longer. God met with us time and time again. I would like to give a special thanks to every contributor, attendee, worker, preacher, and singer that participated...

Presently, the Evangelistic Fellowship of America summer tour training preacher boys is traveling with me for the month of August in my revival meetings. Dr. Boyd trained preacher boys for over 50 years. I have been training preacher boys for 25 years. So, between the two of us, we have 75 years of experience training preacher boys. I have six preacher boys with me now. Their class training is from my Revival with Reason manual, Dr. Boyd’s Evangelism and Soulwinning manuals, along with other text books. Our main goal through these classes is to train preacher boys in the field of evangelism so that souls might be saved. Paul was right when he said the Gospel must have free course. “Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you (II Thessalonians 3:1). We hope to set a good example and pattern for these young men to follow so that no matter what they...

Dear Friends:
As I travel and hold revival meetings each month with churches across this country, I am reminded that revival time is one of the best ways for any church to see spiritual results among God’s people. Revival will also broaden the Gospel message to the lost in their area. The cause of revival should be greater than any other church event. When people humble themselves and confess their sin, repent publicly and have fellowship restored, then revival could break out and our churches can experience a long season of revival. This makes the evangelist’s journey worthwhile. Our energies also need to be directed to preserving the past and protecting this generation, as well as looking forward to the future.
The last few months my travels have taken me to two churches in Alabama, one in Indiana, one in Pennsylvania, one in Ohio, and three in West Virginia. The weather has been tough, troublesome and treacherous. But through...

IN MEMORY OF,
Dr. Joe M. Boyd, Evangelist
May 5, 1917 – June 1, 2009
(Joe Boyd Foundation website)
The ole-time religion has produced many evangelists. When one reflects upon the history of America’s great preachers, Evangelist Dr. Joe M. Boyd will be ranked among the greatest. He was a statesman of the sermon and a scholar of the Scriptures. His biblical knowledge made him a theologian; his delivery made him a legend. Dr. Boyd was always on the soul winner’s trail. He tangled with the devil and wrestled against sin while preaching as an evangelist for almost 70 years. Dr. Boyd trained hundreds of young evangelists, held thousands of revivals, and saw millions saved. Those who heard him speak savored the taste of his endless southern colloquialisms. Whether you met him at home or in public, you would always find him...

Dear Supporter:
Revival is a revealing look at the ebb and flow of how spiritually things really are in the churches of our country. As I travel our homeland and abroad, I have been able to observe a 35 year look of the diverse circumstances and character that surrounds our local New Testament Bible believing Baptist churches. There has been a trend of modernism and liberalism creeping in and taking over and literally strangling the life of revival from the pews of our churches. We have left out practical, fundamental, Biblical doctrines and practices of our faith. There is a dark secret concerning worldly change in some of our Fundamental Baptist churches today. The King James Bible is being excused away as just another version and not God’s Word. There is more preaching on being devoted and consecrated to the church policy than there is Biblical separation and godly standards that few preach about anymore. Most of our churches look no different than...
