Opelika, AL and Elgin, SC


Opelika, Alabama! This was our third visit in the past four years. We had a full summit, a follow-up and now a four-day summit with an emphasis on marriage. We believe that God has strengthened marriages and families. The day we left, a senior deacon in the church was hopefully converted. The Sunday after we left, numerous individuals testified to the work of Christ in their hearts and homes. One teen girl was also hopefully converted during communion service. We love Union Grove Baptist Church and we are grateful for the ongoing work of God there.


This was our second visit to Elgin, South Carolina. This visit was a good wake-up call to the staff and church. Setting this time aside has reminded people of what God has said in the past and has again burdened the staff for the people of God. We were unsure of the work of God here, but on the last night, testimonies and prayer went on for over an hour. The men filled the altar to pray and the pastor poured out his heart to the Lord. Many seemed to be dissatisfied with playing church.
