What I learned at Bible College!!!

1. The key to evangelism is PRAYER!!! If you want to reach the lost, you want your church to grow...PRAY!!!

2. Numbers don't make converts. We want converts NOT numbers

3. How long should you pray? Until you've touched God!!!

4. The best "program" you can get for your church is prayer!!! The Bible way is prayer, prayer, PRAYER!!!

5. EVERYDAY pray for your family, your church and your pastor!!!

6. The reason why a church stays small is lack of prayer

7, Three ways to break through when you feel like you can't touch God:
     1. Praise Him!!! REALLY praise him!!! The Bible says enter into his gates with Thanksgiving and praise!
     2. Repent!!! Search you heart and ask God to cleanse you
     3. Quote scripture

8. It is important to CRY in prayer!!! AND don't get there by burning yourself frying chicken...BAHAHA!!! Its best to just ask God to give you a spirit of brokeness!!!

9. Its ok to have a stronger burden for one person than for another. A burden comes from God and its for a reason.

10. When you pray, put a name to it!

11. Prayer doesn't need a guilt trip. Its about spending time with God. The quality is more important than the actual amount of time.

12. "When the hungry soul and the praying saint reach God, the impossible is made possible!" (Bro. Garrett)

13. DON'T CHEW GUM IN THE CHURCH!!! LOL!!!

EVEN if it is kiwi watermelon Ice Cubes ...DON'T DO IT!!! :))))

The Votaws!!!

He has preached all over the US, China, Taiwan, the Philipines, Vietnam and many more Asian countries. He preaches in underground churches in communism countries. He converted a man on death row in prison to Christ and 3 hours before that man died he baptized him in Jesus name. He prayed the first man in Vietnam to kill and americn soldier through to the Holy Ghost and Baptized him in Jesus name. He has converted trinitartin preachers all over to the Oneness doctrine...BUT ABOVE all else...I thank God that I TOO am ONE OF THOSE souls he reached out too...he gave 7 years of his life to New York City!!! I thank God that he answered the call!!! It wasn't until his 6th & final year as pastor there, that our family came into church...we were there for 9 months before we came to AZ and then right after that the Votaws left NYC for the mission fields of Asia...I THANK God that someone had a burden for NYC!!!

Sis. Kathy!!!

This is the woman that invited my Momma to a Pentecostal church!!! She told me that she was actually new in the church herself and that she would see my mom in the front yard of our house playing with us kids and she just wanted so badly for my mom to have what she had just recieved herself. It may have been just one person that she was witnessing to at that time, but that one person has had an affect on her own five children and now its her Grandchildren that are still recieving the blessing of Sis. Kathy's witness. 25 years ago, it wasn't just my mom...I may have only been two at the time, but it was ME she was winning too! I thank God she wasn't afraid to be a witness and that she didn't give up on my mom. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. (Acts 2:39) When you decide to live for God it doesn't just stop with you!
