Musings of the Minstrel

Hey Everbody, We are only one week from PEAK 09, Tulsa, Oklahoma. This year the convention is being held at Spirit Bank Arena. It is going to be a great time. Our evening evangelist is Jonathan Stringfellow. If you have never heard his ministry then get ready, you are going to be blessed. It all begins next Wednesday (22) at 7:30 pm. This year the theme is "VERTICAL". We are reaching up to the heavens to find the pattern for living on earth. I want to personally invite all of you to come and be a part of this move of God. Let's put on our "garment of Praise" and see if God will show up. When He does....anything can happen!

See ya there!

It will be at " SPIRIT ARENA" Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Headquarters hotel: Renaissance

You don't want to miss it.

I have just returned from the beautiful state of Florida where I had the privilege of preaching the "Mid-Winter Conference" of the Apostolic Churches of Jesus Christ. It was a great time of fellowship and preaching. This was a brand new venture for me as I had never been to "Bellglade, Florida", I really had a great time. Under the direction of Senior Pastor Feld there is a tremendous revival taking place in Florida. This conference is an annual event for the "affiliate" churches of the ACJC. These pastors and saints gathered for 3 nights of power-packed worship and preaching and God truly visited with us. These men are doing some incredible things for God. Special thanks goes to my friend Nathaniel Urshan from Fort Myers, Florida for the invitation to minister to the ACJC. Pastor Urshan will be speaking at NO LIMITS. I am sure you will all be blessed by his unique ministry.

To all of my new brothers and sisters in the "Glades" I love you and can't wait to see the completion of your new headquarters church. Keep the faith and don't ever doubt!

The only way I know to describe it is "mind boggling"! PEAK was off the hook. If you weren't there you missed one of the most incredible God encounters that I have ever experienced. Like the song writer Tony Roberts penned "I just can't find the words". Something happened on Wednesday night that I will never forget. Pastor Nathan Morton stepped to the pulpit to open the convention with an announcement and as he did the young people began to worship. Without any prompting they continued and became more animated. The power of God began to move into the building in wave after wave as the young people gave themselves to the presence of God. 45 minutes later, without one note being sung or one chord struck they were still lost in praise to God. Pastor Morton turned the service straight to the evening evangelist (Rev Cody Marks who preached us into the presence of God) and PEAK was off and running. The day sessions were literally life changing as Rev Jason Calhoun got right to where we live. By Friday evening close to 2000 people filled the convention center and boy did we have a revival. It was 3 days where God showed up and showed off. I am still living in the overflow of what took place in Tulsa. I can't wait till next year.

To all of you Pastor's that gave their support financially as well as sending your young people I would like to express my thanks.

And to all of the youth council of the WPF, you guys did a great job. Thanks a million.

To the young people that came and pushed the devil around for a little while...I LOVE YOU!

Don't forget that P.E.A.K. is right around the corner, Aug 13-15. Tulsa, Ok at the Green Country Events Center. Speakers are Cody Marks & Jason Calhoun. It is going to be awesome! If you weren't planning on going....change your mind...get a ticket....bum a ride...share a room. It is going to be off-the-hook!
