Happy in Henderson
Today fourteen churches arrived in Henderson, Kentucky form nine different states to share the love of Christ with the community here in Henderson. Many of these participants are taking vacation time away from their families to be in Henderson. Instead of celebrating the Fourth of July they were in worship praising their Lord and Savior as angels danced in Heaven at the glorious sound and beautiful site of 272 participants honoring their Creator. These fourteen churches (Ekron Baptist Church, Elkville Baptist Church, Ethelsville Baptist Church, First Baptist Church Whitley City, Halls Westside Baptist, Hanover Baptist Church, Harelton Baptist Church, Kenes Baptist Church, Madison First Baptist Church, Nine Mile Baptist Chruch, Oak Grove Baptist Chruch, Sylvan Hills First Baptist Church, Valleydale Church, and Vinemont First Baptist Church) drove incredibly long hours to this small town to help transform those living here. Students and adults are gearing up as we speak to replace roofs and/or repaint 20 houses this week. The participants are having a blast getting to know one another while waiting in cafeteria lines for some yummy home cooked BBQ, basketball games, and some intense Phase Ten card games. Worship this week is led by Mel Howton who some believe to be the next amazing evangelist in the area!!! Mel has an amazing gift from God to reach people on every level in their walk with Christ. Tonight he challenged us to be a set apart people for Christ. The students were also challenged to continue sharing the love of Christ when they get back home, because we as Christians have been given a precious gift that we should be delighted to share with everyone who will listen. Be sure to ask your youth how God has worked in their life because we are expecting God to do great things, and cant wait to see how lives in Henderson are transformed!!! Please pray that God will prepare the hearts of those in the community, as well as the hearts of the participants, and that the seeds will be planted in deep and rich soil.
