YET ANOTHER WONDERFUL DAY AT MT. ZION
CHRISTIAN CHURCH!!!!
WWOOO HOOO!!!
Mary Kling gave a great presentation of the Guatemalan
Ministry in which she and her husband Bob are involved. Her
slide show was wonderful as each picture told its own story
and her time of speaking was equally inspiring. I spoke with
one young lady who is pretty much proficient in Spanish and
now has a desire to join the Klings on one of their future
travels...maybe even this fall.
Then we completed our study of the book of Genesis from the
11th chapter. This was the Tower of Babel/Confusion of
language sermon. Most seemed impressed with the Joseph Free
article which I will repeat at this time in print:
Joseph Free, in his work Archaeology and Bible
History, relates that between 1850-1854, the city of
Nineveh was excavated....A set of ancient Babylonian clay
tablets were discovered that told, not only of a great
flood, but also recorded the destruction of a particular
Mesopotamian ziggurat, or tower.
George Smith of the British Museum translated the tablets
which read: "The building of this temple offended the
gods. In a night, they threw down what had been built. They
scattered them abroad, and made strange their speech."
[Joseph Free & Howard Vos; Zondervan
Publishing Company, 1992, p. 41]
During invitation four people came forward to express their
personal faith in Jesus Christ as God's Son, their desire to
accept Him as their Savior AND to follow through with
Biblical baptism. H.R. Bailey and his daughter,17 year old
Almond, Delaney Mitchell 7, and Michael Woosley 17 were
those who came together and voiced their belief in
Christ...and we as a body of believers rejoice with them and
Heaven for their decisions. Praise ye the Lord!
Eric and Sarah Polley are moving to Missouri. It was sad but
at the same time wonderful to see their prayers answered
through their house selling AND for us, their spiritual
brothers and sisters, to be able to say a Christian "See Ya
Later" so they might be near Sarah's family. The Polley's
are a wonderful couple whose children are among the cutest.
We will surely miss them but Missouri isn't that far away.
Hey...you all are close enough to Mexico for me to say a
hearty "Via Con Dios!"
Judy Blackwell is beginning a Wednesday night Ladies study
starting this Wednesday. She will conduct her classes in the
Kitchenette and she invites all ladies to attend. Judy is a
wonderfully gifted teacher and lady of God as well as wife
to Paul Blackwell. They have made Mt. Zion their home for
several years and I am sure you will enjoy this time each
week so come on out at 7 pm and enjoy.
Well Nancy Gray has set the date for this year's Vacation
Bible School and it is Sunday, July 19th through Wednesday,
July 22nd - 6:15pm - 8:15pm. It has been a long and arduous
task as Nancy has tried to juggle so many scheduling
conflicts, waiting on return phone calls, negotiating tent
supplies and camping materials, cutting firewood, plucking
chickens N such...AAAHHH!!! Does it ever end????
Nancy will be conducting meetings each Wednesday beginning
June 24th at 6:30pm to 7:30pm and every Sunday through July
15th from 4pm-7pm to get all these camp counselors situated
and their camping supplies ready such as Bug spray, Mosquito
nets, Fly traps, Bear traps N such much needed
paraphernalia.
VBS is going to have a camping theme and the big news
is...on Wednesday, July 22nd Nancy is working on a big
celebration with Party Central equipment AND a camp
out/sleep over at MZCC. COULD IT GET ANY BETTER?????? Wow,
VBS 4 U & meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
Come out each night and catch the action as I am sure we
will be visited by those kooky threesome from last year's
amusement park. They have just recently switched vocations
and are now employed by the ACME VBS Campers Excursion
Outfitters of America Corporation Extraordinaire...better
known as the "CEO boys". Oh, I can't wait to put some big
ole frogs down in your sleeping bags. Yee Haw!!!!!
Now to more a more serious matter, please remember to pray
for J.D. Miller and Sarah Polley as well as everyone else
who is ministering with them in Honduras. They will be there
for a little more than a week and ministering to the people
of Honduras while also conducting a "Honduran Idle" contest.
The last time we were there Carlos Vargas won the contest
and as a result, is currently studying music in Cincinnati,
however he was able to break free for a while and travel
back to Honduras with J.D. where he is performing with the
worship team.
When J.D. returns on Sunday night (or the wee hours of
Monday morning,) he will have just a little time to adjust
and begin the long drive to Branson, Missouri where Mary
Grashel, Cheryl McKenney, J.D. & I...as well as four or five
others, will minister at Cecil Todd's "Revival Fires Camp
Meeting." We will be taking two vehicles and lots of
equipment. The meetings begin Tuesday Morning and runs
through Thursday night. We will be busy most of the time
with great speakers, singers and some of Branson's best
performers. Dino & Cheryl Kartsonakis, the talented
pianist's will be with us one night as well as Tony Orlando
& Dawn, that singing group from back in the 60's. What you
want to bet by now "Dawn" looks more like "Settin Sun?" It's
a joke, just a Joke!
This year "Revival Fires" is celebrating 60 years of service
to God and by all accounts, it is supposed to be one of the
biggest ever. Cecil Todd began preaching as a young man and
still has the enthusiasm and drive of a teenager. Out west
he was the Billy Graham of the Christian Church. Many of his
television programs were seen in Lexington, KY. each week. I
pray it is a wonderful event which centers it's delight in
Christ. Please pray for Cecil's wife Linda as she is
recovering from a surgery and truly desires to be at this
years celebration.
On a sadder note, I regret to inform you of the passing of
Steve Falcon. Steve left this world Tuesday morning around
noon (our time) according to his son Chris who called to
inform me. Steve had requested I perform his funeral so I am
making plans to fly out to San Antonio, Texas Thursday and
hopefully back Saturday. This will, more than likely be,
extremely difficult for the Falcons as it is the weekend of
our yearly celebration of "Fathers Day". Please pray for
this family who has travelled so many miles, met so many
people, touched so many lives, all in such a positive way
and now...for the cause of Christ, endeavors to proceed
forward without the visible presence of this one who was
loved so much, fought so diligently and now is with our
Lord.
Your Friend,
