Where has time gone! May the God of Heaven teach us to number our days.
I just stepped in from filling Willy the wood boiler. He was hungry this morning. It had been about four days since I filled him with wood. Thank the Lord for the blessings of "free" hot water for our family and friends.
Yesterday was a tremendous day. I was out early on the golf course for a little r and r. After that I was at staff meeting. It was a blessing to be there and see the excitement and everyone working together. I took the staff out for lunch afterwards and we had a good time of fellowship. Then we were off to the races with a new house were looking to purchase for a staff house. Pray that it will all work out and the financing will supernaturally work out. Also our doors got put into the new building. Things are coming together. Continue to pray! We need an infusion of funds to finish the building. In the evening we were over at our friends house from the church the Rice's. What a sweet man of God! The Lord has sent them to us and we are so blessed.
Today it's a busy day in the ministry all day long. I am thrilled that God has called me and so excited to be a part of it all.

What a powerful day we had on yesterday. The Lord was very gracious to give us some wonderful services. I was thrilled to see a good crowd and better yet a wonderful spirit in our meetings. To God be the Glory great things HE has done.
Today we have staff meeting for the Christian School at 11. I have alot of things to do around the farm today like mow grass etc.... I'm looking forward to golfing also today. Tonight I am going to one of the members house to have some pie. The ministry is tough aye!
We are continuing to pray for our missionaries that we support daily. We are asking God to bless them spiritually, physically, mentally, financially, domestically, morally, and socially.
I am so looking forward to settling in to the winter and studying the scriptures. I have so many things to prepare for in the coming days. I start a missions conference this Sunday through Wednesday. Also next week I'm preaching the 10th anniversary celebration of a church we help to start in Augusta. (I'm getting old!) I have another conference I preaching in October plus another revival in November. I also want to get my commercial pilot's license and stay fresh with all the regulations etc.... I will fly again hopefully this week. Bro. Dave Crispell is going to let us use one of his planes for ministry until ours is fixed.
Thanks for praying and caring.

Yesterday was a huge success. I was honored to be able to preach the funeral of Phil Lint. It was a blessing to be able to share the gospel with so many. Praise God for what HE did on yesterday. After that I spent some time down in Portsmouth at the airshow. My wife and I worked the fair last night and were able to share the gospel with tons of people. On the way home yesterday I said to her do you realize how many people I got to minister to today? It must have been around 500. Now that is a blessed day of ministry. What a joy to be a servant of the Cross. Oh God use me!
I'm thrilled about the prospects of this day. I'm praying that we can see more saved today and lives changed and challenged for God's Glory. Tonight Pastor Dan will be preaching. I'm looking forward to that plus the Lord's supper will be tonight.
C U Soon!

Sometimes I don't know how we get through days. Yesterday was wild and crazy with things happening on all fronts. I was at the fair in the morning. The ladies were working at the church. I came back and worked the rest of the day on the new building entrance with Bro. Schoppe. Dad was painting desks. All hands were on deck getting ready for 20 minutes of orientation. But praise the Lord it all got accomplished and the meeting last night went well.
Today I have a funeral and our family works at the fair tonight. So far we have seen five saved at the fair. Praise the Lord for this ministry!
I'm looking forward to a good Lord's day on tomorrow! Please pray that God would continue to move in power and Glory on the meeting and souls would be saved and saints stirred to do the Work of God here in this area.

We spent the morning at the fair on yesterday. We didn't have anyone saved in my shift but we handed out probably 100 gospel tracts and got to show the "Gospel Doors" to several people. What a blessing to be in the middle of fair evangelism.
In the afternoon we worked at the church and school. It's exciting to see it all coming together.
Today Bro. Schoppe is down and we will be working on the new school entrance and at the church getting ready for orientation tonight. We also registered another child yesterday. Praise the Lord for the continued interest. This is the Lord's work and HE is putting it together. I'm glad to be along for the ride.
Our new doors arrive on Monday so everything at our new building needs to be in place by then. I praise God for Bro. Bill helping us today to get this accomplished.
My dad has been painting feverishly on the desk. They look Super!
I will see you at the fair today or the school! Please continue to pray for us. Their are so many needs to share. The scriptures declare "let your requests be made known unto God." That's what we are doing and we ask you to do the same.

We had a powerful day on yesterday. I worked all day at the church getting things ready for school. I also met a young man that is praying about aviation that is from Quebec. In the evening our service was packed out and the Spirit of God once again moved in power and glory. What a joy and delight to have such a good revival. Praise the Lord for all HE did!
I am getting ready to leave in just a few minutes to go to the fair in Acton to our soul-winning booth. My wife and I will be manning it until lunch. Please pray that we can see many souls saved these next few days.
I just got word from an e-mail that we lost about half of our support for our aviation ministry from a supporter. I don't understand what the Lord is doing but the ride is kind of interesting. Please pray for this unique ministry that the Lords will be done. I sense the Lord is up to something special even though it looks discouraging.

I was busy all day yesterday on the building and working at the church. The Lord did encourage me even though I had some discouraging things happen. We tried to put windows in but were not able to. Oh well, at least we tried. The rest of the day was spent hanging chalk boards and doing different things around church getting ready for the first day of school next week.
Our revival services were blessed of the Lord last night. The crowds were overflowing and the Spirit of God moved in a mighty way. I bless HIS NAME for all HE is doing in our midst.
Today we will work at the school again most of the day. What a thrill to be busy for the Master. Revival services will be tonight with soul-winning training for the Acton fair to follow. I'm excited to be a part of this ministry.
Our hearts our burdened today for one of our missionary families in Quebec the Brindamours. Mrs. Carole went home to be with the Lord this morning around 1:30 a.m. Please keep their family and Jacques especially in our prayers. Psalms 116:15 "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints."

What a glorious day and night I had on yesterday. We worked all day at the church in staff meeting and on the desks. In the evening the revival services were wonderful. We were packed out and the Spirit of God moved in a mighty way. What a joy to have an old fashioned revival meeting!
Today will be much of the same. We are seeking God for revival and believe that HE is touching our hearts and moving in a glorious way. What a joy and delight to be in the middle of it.
I hope to see all of you out tonight and then some. Were asking God to have so many that we have to put out extra chairs.
Please continue to pray for some special requests we have. God knows what they are and we are asking HIM to provide for all of these burdens.

To God be the Glory Great things HE has done. The planning board approved our proposal for parking last night 100%! It was a blessing to see the Hand of God at work and I am careful to praise Him who is altogether lovely!
I'm excited now about the next step of the process which will be the building permit. Lord willing we should have that soon.
Our service last night was shorter than normal but still good as I preached on a Merry Heart. What a joy to experience a Merry Heart on a daily basis.
Today I will be working most of the day at the church getting ready for school that is soon to start. Tonight we have soul-winning and cottage prayer meeting. We have been having 30 and 40 people coming out for this. What a joy it is to me as a pastor to see people that want to go out and invite people to come to church and pray together.
I will try to load some pictures today of the building and different things I am doing so you can pray specifically. Thank you for your concern and love.

Then my boy and I got a few holes of golf in. In the evening we drove up to Turner Maine and was part of a conference on soul-winning and evangelism. Our family was asked to sing at this meeting. What a blessing it was to have 30 from our church go up on the buses. Praise the Lord for the excitement that is in our church. I finally got in the bed around 1 a.m.
Today we leave to go back around lunch time. Once again we are suppose to sing several songs and I am to preach in one of the sessions. I'm thrilled with what God is going to do for us today. Oh God send revival on our churches in this area! Please pray for our family today as we sing and also for me as I preach. I need the blessing and touch of God on my life.

I love the 15th. It's my favorite chapter in all of Proverbs. What a blessing to read it and let it sink deep down into my heart. Oh to have more wisdom to be able to walk in the ways of the Lord in a pleasing way.
Yesterday was a tremendous day of work around the house. I hadn't touched my yard in over a month because every waking moment has been spent at the church. It took all of us about six hours to get it back looking nice. We mowed, weed whacked, cut trees, raked, picked up wood etc... Praise the Lord now it looks nice.
Last night my family went on a date plus I made a hospital visit. It was a good day.
This is the day the Lord hath made! Praise the Lord for the opportunity to go to the House of God and worship the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I'm excited to be able to baptize a young man this morning. Also I am looking forward to preaching the Word of God! Please pray that we can experience a mighty move of God on our services today!

Thank God for the work crew from Maple Grove and their dedication. These strong 10 to 12 hour days are making a difference. Today is the last day and we have the back to do. This is the burn out section with alot of ripping and tearing and replacing and hopefully we can get it finished today. Keep praying because we for sure need it. I will be glad to get off of this lift back down to the ground. I think I have been on it now for almost two months off and on.
While the men have been on the new building the girls have been busy getting the school rooms and office ready at the church. Also Bro. Dan and Benjamin have been painting the front of the church. What a joy to see everybody busy. I THANK GOD for the staff the Lord has assembled together and the team of people we have at our church. God is doing great things!
Bro. Dan and Mrs. Cherish are taking the young people to Boston today to hand out 500 gospel tracts. Pray for them that God will use them in mighty way and grant safety and they minister.
Please pray about some special objects that we need answers on in the next week or so. They are heavy upon me and I would so much appreciate to know that your praying for me. I know God is going to answer. It will be yes, no, or wait a little while! Praise the Lord for His faithfulness!

Greetings to all in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ
What a powerful day I had on yesterday. I worked all day on the building up 30 feet in the air. I feel a little dizzy headed after so many days on the lift. It will not be long now and the trim will be finished. Praise the Lord for His blessings.
Our Wednesday service was packed out. Praise God for how HE is moving. The Lord helped me as I preached out of Haggai 2.
Today we will be working all day on the building again. I know it sounds like a broken record but it has to be finished. I'm glad God lets me help.

Greetings in Jesus Name
I was very busy yesterday in the work of the ministry. After morning devotions I was off to the job site to check on work crew. Then up to Saco to check with a bank about financing for the staff house. After riding my bike back home I changed clothes and then went and worked all day putting up metal around the trim. In the evening we had soul winning visitation with over 30 people out and then cottage prayer meeting with over 40 there! Glory to God for the hunger of HIS people for revival. Our church is believing God for revival.
Today after my morning time in office and radio broadcast I will work all day putting up metal again. We are making great progress. I will upload another picture at the end of the day for you to see.
Thanks for the prayers. We need them and are trusting God to work out all the details of finances and such for our building.

Our day was blessed on yesterday. We had a full house both services with a good spirit in the meetings. Praise the Lord for all He is doing.
Our offerings was good yesterday. We are still short on paying our bills. God knows!
The crew from N.C arrived this morning around 2 a.m. I'm excited about having them here to help us this week. Hopefully we will get the building finished this week.
This morning I have a very important meeting about financing for a new house. PRAY!
Tonight is cottage prayer meeting and soul winning visitation. I'm looking forward to a great time together!

As you can see we got alot done yesterday on the front of the building. I had the distinct privilege of putting up the last piece around 5:15. Well Glory the front siding is finished!
Mrs. Amy helped and others helped to move Dan and Cherish into their apartment. Praise the Lord for temporary housing.
Today we are kind of scattered out. I am ministering the Word down here while Bro. Dave is ministering the Word up north. Pray for him that God would use him while he is at Tri Town in East Millinocket.
I'm looking forward to a power packed day filled with the Power of God. I am praying for souls to be saved today and people baptized. I'm asking God to move in a way that we haven't seen Him move in before. Oh God send the power on our meetings. May our hearts be in tune with Him and His work! Please pray that we can see mighty miracles in the meeting today.
This afternoon I will be flying over to Manchester to drop off a car for the guys that are coming in tonight. Pray that I would have traveling mercies. I'm looking forward to them being with us all this next week. Hopefully we will get the building wrapped with metal and have it buttoned up.

At 4 a.m. this morning it was 44. Winter is coming. I know you didn't want to hear that but thank God it is. I love the cold!
I had a good day yesterday and got alot accomplished. Praise the Lord for His goodness in helping all day.
Dan Principee arrived yesterday with his family. An apartment worked out at the last minute so he will move into that today. We will off load his other stuff at the hanger and hope and pray the loan stuff goes through for us so we can purchase the house on June street here in Sanford Maine. We need a down payment of around 25,000 for which we do not have. Any body got ideas? Speaking of finances we need major miracles tomorrow at church. Please pray that something wild and crazy will happen so that we can pay our bills this week. I hope this is living by faith because it is kind of crazy but it does please the Lord when we trust Him fully.
Today we work all morning at church and then move Bro. Dan into his apartment. Praise the Lord for what HE is doing here.

Greetings in the Mighty Name of the Lord Jesus Christ
I have done alot of things in the last 20 years of ministry. The Lord has been very gracious in allowing our family to be involved in ministering to people. It has been the joy of our life to see lives changed, people saved, families put back together, marriages restored, and people find victory serving the Lord Jesus Christ. I must say out of all those years we have never experienced the enemy fighting more than we have recently with the plans of starting a Christian school to train soldiers of the Cross. The scriptures teach us that we need to reach people of all ages but we all know the earlier we can reach them the better it is. It is our vision to reach kids at a young age and see them grow up to serve Christ with all their heart soul and mind! To say the least it is a battle! My whole life people have shared with me if your not doing anything the devil wont bother you. Well let me tell you brother and sister we must be doing something! Yikes!
Mission work is an amazing ministry. Before you think I've lost my mind go to the book of Acts and see where Paul the missionary went into towns and opened them up to the gospel. Let me know what you find. Were there "red carpets" put out for him? Was he welcomed with a parade? I think you will find that every town he faced struggles and battles. This is where we have lived our whole ministry. Is it worth it? What's one soul worth? The answer is yes!!! and Amen and Amen!
Bro. Principee arrives today in the afternoon. We will welcome another staff member and praise God for the ministry growing. These our big steps for our little church. Oh how we need the blessings of God to continue on. Please pray for miracles in all areas in the coming days.
We have so much planned for the day. Siding, moving people in, golf early this morning, flying etc..... I hear you saying your crazy! No just passionate about the gospel. In every adventure their is oppurtunities to minister to people. This is what it is all about.

The planning board will need more information to be able to approve our plan. So obviously they did not approve it last night. It was a long meeting with a few that were against it but I believe it will all work out.
Please pray for some special objects that we have!
I will busy all day today at the work site. So much to do!
Oh yeah, our church meeting was great last night just not long enough. We had to hurry to make it to the meeting. I would have much rather had church than go to that silly meeting. Oh welllll! (smile)
Keep praying! God is moving and the devil is mad!

Tonight is a very important meeting. Please pray that the planning board will approve our plans for what God has put in our hearts to do on high street at our new location. If they approve we will then look for approval from the codes department to continue building. These are exciting days.
Yesterday was a good day at the job site. We got above the windows all the way across on the front. Today we will keep plugging away at it.
I'm excited about the service tonight. I missed my people on Sunday and I'm glad to be back in town preaching the Word of God. Please pray that God would do something special in the meeting tonight.
I am still seeking God for some special objects of prayers. Would you please pray with me about these. God knows what they are!
I will put some pictures up a little later.

Praise the Lord I am finally home. I am grateful to God for a good trip and the blessings that go along with it. God indeed has been good to me and I do bless His Holy Name! Well Glory!
I came home yesterday and hit the ground running. It was a blessing to see all the work the men have got accomplished on the building. Praise the Lord for everybody that has helped.
Last night we had soul-winning visitation and cottage prayer meeting. We had a special treat to have Dave Webster preaching the Word of God. We had over 30 people out. The Lord is stirring our hearts and what a joy to see it and experience it. When I heard Dave Webster preach on Friday night I said I would love to have him come to our town. That's a big thing because he is from Prince Albert Saskatchewan Canada. The Lord arranged for his plane to come over here to Portland to get fixed and in turn stay with us last night. What a mighty God we serve!
Today I be will working at the church on the siding. I'm excited to see all that God is going to do! Also I am going to do some visiting at the hospital. Tonight I have a little golf tournament. It's going to be a thrilling day to serve the KING!
Please pray for some special requests I have. God knows!
