Last Friday and Saturday at the Men’s Retreat at Chemin-A-Haut state park were amazing. We had seven outstanding speakers, delicious meals, and fabulous fellowship. The singing was excellent, and we shook the rafters with our loud voices as we praised God and exhorted each other with the songs. The attendance was superb as our members showed up and we were supported by many area congregations.
I especially want to thank our deacons: Steve Barnhill, Jake Maxwell, Mike Williams, and Brannon Smith for their hard work.
Our gospel meeting with brother Brad Harrub met all our expectations and then some! We shattered previous attendance records and had 6 responses. Brother Brad also has one ongoing Bible study due to our meeting and we had a baptism Monday afternoon. Area congregations were extremely supportive. Our members showed up and the ladies (and some men) cooked their hearts out preparing plenty of food for all.
The ice cream social after Tuesday evening’s service was truly a treat for all. During the meeting, we campaigned with flyers and encouraged our community to come hear the truth of God’s word. Our members invited and brought many guests. Social media was enlisted to get the words out to thousands. Thanks to everyone for your hard work and prayers. It truly paid off with huge dividends.
Now, where do we go from here? Several men and I plan to continue door knocking, handing out tracts, and inviting our community to come and join us in New Testament Christianity. Prayers will continue to go up to God to help us as we strive to take our communities in which we live back to the Lord.
What about YOU? Will you dedicate yourself to supporting Naff Avenue in your attendance, prayers, and evangelistic efforts? Will you support faithful area congregations when they host meetings, seminars, cook-outs, and singings? Will you invite others? Will you read, study, and obey the commands of the New Testament? Will you fortify your families? “That you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world” (Philippians 2:15).
Stay true to the Word,
Brother Travis
