Hello Church, it’s me...back at the computer once again. Please accept my apologies for not having a web page last week but J.D. and I had to leave Sunday afternoon to board a plane bound for Memphis, Tennessee and then on to Fort Smith Arkansas. We then rented a car and drove two hours to a community in Oklahoma where we ministered with a group for a week long "Family Camp" To say we didn’t have any cell service would definitely be an understatement. This place is so for back in the woods that it is even believed that Bigfoot got himself lost up there somewhere.

While there we ministered each morning and every night. We also squeezed in some time to work on an "A Frame" house which is probably an exaggeration in terms but none the less we worked every day trying to remodel a place for people to stay while attending these conferences each year at "Christ’s 40 Acres." We are scheduled to return in September for a "Round Robin" time of Revival. Seven preachers are supposed to preach to a different congregation each night. While there, J.D. and I hope to complete the task of remodeling. If anyone might be interested in joining us in this endeavor, we would GLADLY welcome their help. HINT, HINT.

Our plane landed back in Lexington around 5:30 pm Friday and now...now it is now past midnight as I have just returned to my room in Illinois after speaking twice today. I have met many wonderful people in the town of Bridgeport and whatever town it is I am in. The Pleasant Ridge Christian Church has a parsonage and a one bedroom - one bathroom apartment. It is a small church and yet they possess a great vision. They have purchased an old school and plan to relocate when their renovation is complete.

I am supposed to speak Monday night to a group of men which make up an organization called "Kingdom Builders." They are much like the Bluegrass Christian Men’s Association which exists to plant new churches. A few men from Illinois who attended the Kiamichi Clinic, which J.D. and I participated in this past May wanted me to come and speak to their men and that is the main reason I am here this weekend. I hope to return home Tuesday afternoon.

I have spoken with many who attended Mt. Zion’s Sunday Morning worship service and each commented on what an awesome sermon J.D. Miller delivered. I appreciate J.D. & Cheryl’s ministry at Mt. Zion and I believe we all are truly discovering what a great decision it was to ask him to come on staff. And besides...J.D. makes such a believable nerd for VBS and I can’t wait to see him come to life once again next year as his true self shines forth.
JUST JOKING J.D.- HEE HEE HA HA!

I want to thank each one who is busy inviting friends and family to attend our worship services. The best way to have our acquaintances and relatives realize Jesus died for them and wants them to live for him, is to invite them to participate in the worship that takes place weekly at Mt. Zion. There is definitely a Revival going on at Mt. Zion and we need to tell the world. Start at home...Tell your neighbors and family. You will love the change they come to experience and so will they. It is truly and totally life changing.

DON'T FORGET THE FISH FRY THIS FRIDAY. YOU MIGHT EVEN GET TO HEAR SOME GREAT MUSIC.
INVITE YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, CO-WORKERS...EVEN PEOPLE YOU DON’T EVEN LIKE. BEING SAVED MAKES PEOPLE EASIER TO LIKE.

This Sunday I plan to preach a sermon based on the statement I have made many times how Doctors have facts based on years of experience and Jesus...Jesus has the truth. You will not want to miss this Sunday’s sermon with a twist you could not expect.

See you Friday & Sunday
For the Cause of Christ,
Your Preaching Minister,
Kenny
