We are looking forward to having Evangelist Barry Webb and his wife with us at Oregon Trail Baptist Church from September 20-25th. As the meetings get closer please pray that God would prepare your heart as well as the hearts of others. If your not able to attend the meetings due to distance please pray that God will work. We will also be holding special prayer meetings every Sunday night at 6:30 leading up to the meetings. Prepare your heart for God to work.
We were privileged to have Evangelist C. T. Spear and his wife with us for a special evening service. He gave his testimony of going to High School in our area and how he had made a commitment to carry his Bible to school. Although he took a lot of flak over carrying Bible back then he was recently invited back to pray for their class reunion. He was glad to report that some who were closed to the gospel during his High School days were now interested in talking about the Lord.
Baptism Service
Sydney and her parents have been visiting our church for about a year now. This year when she went to camp Sydney responded to the Gospel and trusted Christ as her Savior. Her counselor did a very good job explaining the gospel and baptism so when we sat down to discuss baptism with her she already had a good idea of what it was all about. After our morning service we headed to the river where we had our baptism then enjoyed a carry in dinner.
I must confess that sometimes I read about the forgetfulness of Bible characters and chide them in my mind. I think, “If God showed me a burning bush, I would never doubt him again.” But I would. And so would you.
God knows our propensity to forget. That is why he is adamant that his people be intentional about remembering his goodness. He also knows that remembering helps us.
