This week I am preaching in the beautiful central coast of California at the Central Baptist Church of Marina. This church was started out of my father’s church back in 1981, and they are still going strong. Church planting really does work.
It was great to see a full house of people coming to be fed by the Word of God. The music was exciting, the spirit was great, and the Holy Spirit’s presence was evident. When the invitation was given, the altars were full and one man walked the aisle to receive Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour.
Pastor William Wallace has been a friend of mine for many years. We have both grown up in the ministry together, and it’s great to see how the Lord is working in his ministry. It’s exciting to be with a man who believes that the old paths still work. Pastor Wallace has not looked for new ways to build a church. He has not tried to change to the emerging church philosophy to build a church. Pastor Wallace has stuck to the old paths, and God is using him in a great way to reach the Central Coast of California.
Please pray for the remainder of this week as the meeting goes through Tuesday night. We have a special service on Tuesday night with Bro. Alvin Martinez singing and preaching with me. If you’re in the area, I invite you to come to the services on Monday and Tuesday evening at 7 PM.
