Dear Friends,

If the handiwork of our God is so beautiful in the United States of America, how much more breathtaking will the eternal home He has prepared for us be to behold.  We have enjoyed getting to see the Northwest this spring, and have much to share about our past few weeks in revivals. 

We began in February at Trinity Baptist Church in Greenwood, SC.  A young boy was saved at this meeting and as a result of his salvation, he began bringing his family to church.  After a meeting at United Baptist in Spartanburg, SC, we headed to Fort Walton Beach, FL. This revival was the first in the church's history.  We were so encouraged to find that the church had been preparing for weeks for this revival, and it was evident in the submissive spirits of the people to the Word of God. 

While in Florida, we had the opportunity to attend the Enrichment Conference at Pensacola Christian College.  What a blessing to our hearts the services were and what an encouragement to see how much PCC and the Campus Church loves and seeks to encourage those in the ministry.

Our next stop was in Sherwood, AR, at Brockington Road Baptist where we again had the opportunity to hold the first revival in the history of this church.  God truly molded and revived hearts, and we have been encouraged by reports of the continuing work that the Holy Spirit is doing there. 

We stopped in Kansas to visit some friends and ended up getting the opportunity to minister in their church on Easter Sunday.  From there we went to Front Range Baptist Church in Fort Collins, CO, to preach a youth retreat and also to preach in the Sunday services.  We were encouraged to see how God is blessing this work.  We enjoyed a few days off in Colorado as we rested in the majestic snow-capped Rocky Mountains.   

We enjoyed seeing bison, buffalo, and many elk and antelope as we drove through snowy Wyoming on our trip to Pocatello, ID, where we held a revival at Pocatello Baptist Church with Pastor Colan Deatherage.  We saw a clear moving of the Holy Spirit as God moved in a mighty way in this church. 

We held our next revival at Mountain View Baptist Church in Cedar City, UT.  This was our third revival at this church and we enjoyed seeing families here remaining faithful to God.  Afterwards, we began a southward journey to Cottonwood, AZ.  We enjoyed meeting the new Pastor and had sweet services at Cottonwood Baptist Church. 

Our last revival was at Maranatha Baptist Church in Glendale, AZ.  We were encouraged to see the people's hearts soften throughout the week as they responded to the preaching of God's Word.  We were able to stop in for a couple of days at our sending church in Marana, AZ, and were thankful for the "fuel" offering that they took up for us.

As you can see, we have traveled many miles and have seen God's mighty hand at work in the past few weeks.  He has been so good to provide safety on the road and help with minor mechanical problems with our truck.  We are humbled that He would choose to use us in the ministry of evangelism. 

Please keep us in your prayers as we continue.  We will soon be in Pensacola, FL, where we have the opportunity to preach in their summer camps.  Pray that God will give the messages he would have me preach, and that he would prepare the hearts of the young people that are coming to the summer camps.

 In Christ,

The McCormicks
