GRANDPA’S HANDS
Grandpa, some ninety plus years old, sat feebly on the patio bench.
He didn’t move, just sat with his head down staring at his hands.
When I sat down beside him, he didn’t acknowledge my presence.
The longer I sat, the more I wondered if he was OK.
Finally, not really wanting to disturb him, but wanting to check on him,
I asked if he was OK. He raised his head and looked at me and smiled.
Yes, I’m fine, thank you for asking, he said in a clear strong voice,
I didn’t mean to disturb you, grandpa, but you were just sitting here
staring at your hands and I wanted to make sure you were ok, I explained to him.
Have you ever looked at your hands, he asked. I mean, really looked at your hands?
I slowly opened my hands and stared down at them. I turned them over,
palms up and then palms down. No, I guess I had never really looked at
my hands I said rather softly as I tried to figure out the point he was making.
Grandpa smiled and said, stop and think for a moment about the hands
you have, how they have served you well throughout your years. These
hands, though wrinkled, shriveled and weak have been the tools I have used
all my life to reach out, grab and embrace life.
They braced and caught my fall when as a toddler I crashed upon the floor.
They put food in my mouth and clothes on my back. As a child, my mother
taught me to fold them in prayer. They tied my shoes and pulled on my boots.
They dried the tears of my children and caressed the love of my life. They
held my rifle and wiped my tears when I went off to war. They have been
dirty, scraped and raw, swollen and bent.
They were uneasy and clumsy when I tried to hold my newborn son. Decorated
with my wedding band, they showed the world that I was married and loved
someone special. They wrote the letters home and trembled and shook when I
buried my parents, then my spouse, and when I walked my daughter down the aisle.
Yet, they were strong and sure when I dug my buddy out of a foxhole and lifted
a plow off my best friend’s foot. They have held children, consoled neighbors,
and shook in fists of anger when I didn’t understand. They have covered my
face, combed my hair, and washed and cleansed the rest of my body. They have
been sticky and wet, bent and broken, dried and raw.
And to this day, when not much of anything else of me works real well, these hands hold
me up, lay me down, and again continue to fold in prayer. These hands are the mark of
where I’ve been and the ruggedness of my life.
But more importantly, it will be these hands that God will reach out and take when He
leads me home. And, with my hands He will lift me to His side and there I will use these
hands to touch the face of Christ.
As I sat on the bench with Grandpa, I slowly looked at my hands again and know that
I’ll always see them in a different light–thanks to looking at Grandpa’s Hands.
Revival Demands a Response to God’s Call!Bryan Baysinger, State Evangelist
In Haggai 1:4 The Prophet cries outto God’s people reminding them thatwhile they were dwelling in their sealedhouses and while they were prospering intheir personal lives, God’s House lay inwaste. This should speak volumes to ustoday when we look at our way of life andcompare it to Israel in this text fromHaggai.
Israel was putting their interests,personal comforts and lifestyles first andforemost. Today, we can fall into this samecategory if our own agendas and desirestake precedence over God; and we findthat we are only giving Him the leftovers.This is when we get into trouble. We servea jealous God who will not take secondplace in our life and demands us to please
Him by responding to His call to work in the Kingdom of God. While we are not building a physical structuresuch as a temple, we have been called to work in His fields of labor.
In Mark 16:15 we are called to “go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” Thiscommission and command is still our standing orders from God. So, the question is, what have we done withthis Biblical mandate to obey the calling of every born again believer? Just like prayer, bible study and fasting,evangelism is a spiritual discipline. If we have truly experienced revival in our churches and personal life’s thenthe natural result is that we should be red hot in our passion to win souls.
In Haggai 1:5 the Spirit of God cries out, “consider your ways.”This should cause us to daily examineourselves. We need to make sure we have the proper motives in living and working for Him. In a world thatpromotes self-help and the building up of our own empires, we must realize that it is not about getting as manyblessings from God as we possibly can. The greatestreward will come to us with the sowing of the gospeland watching the fruit of men and women come toChrist. The Master’s main mission was to “seek andto save that which was lost”. He came to build theHouse of God, the Church. Just as He became aservant we also must become a servant. So Ichallenge you to respond to His call and to reach outand share your story, and His story, to a lost world;then it will truly be evidenced that you are living inrevival.
If you would like to schedule a revival or have mespeak at your church or event call:
601-604-0438 or 601-679-1381.
Christian Caring Church (CONTINUED)
Condensed from an article by David A. Paap
Program Director for Stephen Ministries
You don’t send wounded soldiers back into battle without providing appropriate care and sufficient time to recuperate. Life is tough.
The members of your congregation experience emotional and spiritual bumps and bruises from time to time–and sometimes more
drastic injuries–as they serve their King and engage in his mission. Sometimes the wounds are inflicted by an enemy; other times they
are self-inflicted. Either way, wounded soldiers need time and proper care to recuperate and heal before again being pressed into
service. Christian care is essential for helping God’s people return to wholeness so they can once again engage in God’s mission.
What happens if people don’t receive the care they need when they’re suffering? What if their needs are ignored or unnoticed
or–worse yet–trivialized by others wielding hollow platitudes? Hurting Christians who don’t receive appropriate, compassionate care
from your congregation quickly lose sight of any potential value they may have had for your congregation’s mission. Some will
become disillusioned and seek healing elsewhere; others will lose faith in the church as a whole and disassociate from your
congregation. Another major research finding is that a person is much more likely to become inactive or drop out of church if his or
her needs for care during a crisis go unmet. Even if hurting people stay in your congregation, their loyalty and devotion are likely to
wane.
On the other hand, hurting Christians who receive appropriate and compassionate care from their congregation are much more likely to
return to health and re-engage in the mission of the church. Quite often, after receiving care during a time of crisis, they rebound with
a newfound passion fo serving God and the church.
Perhaps the greatest stumbling block to providing quality Christian care is thinking the pastor needs to be the only one who provides it.
The good news is that, if your congregation is like most, there are a great number of people who have gifts such as mercy,
encouragement, and helping. With the right kind of training and organization, lay people can provide very high-quality Christian care
for people who are hurting or suffering.
Involving gifted laypeople in caring ministry meets two of the four needs (spirituality, community, care and service) in a powerful way.
People who are hurting receive the focused, one-to-one, Christ-centered care they need during a time of crisis. The lay caregivers also
experience personal satisfaction and spiritual growth because they’re using their gifts in meaningful ministry–they’re serving God and
others while doing something they deeply enjoy.
One reason mission-minded congregations are often reluctant even to talk about congregation care is because it can be seen as a trap,
turning inward to focus on internal maintenance, meeting only needs of members. This is indeed true when caregivers are limited to
pastors and church staff–the sheer volume of needs within a congregation can quickly consume all their available time. But when a
congregation has a well-organized team of 10, 20 or more lay caregivers, Christian caregiving can become a powerful outreach to
hurting people in the community.
People are never more likely to be open to the gospel or to connect with a Christian congregation than when they are suffering. Caring
laypeople bear a powerful witness to the love and compassion of Christ through their compassionate interaction with those who are
hurting. St. Francis said, “Preach the gospel at all times; when necessary, use words.”
Christian care was one of the major forces behind the explosive growth of Christianity, especially during the devastating epidemics that
swept through the Roman Empire in the second and third centuries. While pagans–even pagan physicians–tended to flee the sick in
order to avoid being afflicted, Christians provided care for the suffering people around them whether they were Christians or pagan.
And of course the pagans who received care from Christians were much more likely to take an interest in knowing Jesus.
What epidemics plague our world? Loneliness? Meaninglessness? Poverty, homelessness, and despair? The care ministries of your
congregation can bring Christ’s care where others are unable or unwilling to make a difference; it can be a significant part of your
overall mission strategy. Congregations that have effective care ministries are well positioned to bring people who are hurting to a
saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Alex City: Father’s Day
was celebrated with the
c h i l d r e n ’ s c h u r c h
performing an inspiring
drama under the direction
of Sister Becky Beard.
These children take this
seriously, and they are a
blessing to our church. The
fathers were also presented
a gift from the church.
Boldo: We have really
been enjoying the blessings
of the Lord this year. We
have received 8 new
covenant members and
several new families have started attending
church. We had several youth attending
camps and six ladies that attended the
Ladies’ Day. They came back with a new
zeal! New remodeling has been going on
in the Sunday School rooms and putting
down hardwood floors in the entrance hall.
Our youth are excited over the Wednesday
night Bible studies. We give God honor
for what He is doing for us.
Browntown: We had a church workday
and breakfast this month. Also, we
enjoyed a Father’s Day Brunch, Father’s
Day children’s program, baptism and
church cookout.
Carbon Hill: The youth have been
ministering to girls rehab home for the
past year with over 50 girls saved. Our
youth received blessings at camp where
some were saved, sanctified and received
the Holy Ghost. We had 24 campers to
go. To be a good father, what must one
do? Love, nourish, give of oneself, protect
and most of all teach their children how to
live a Godly life. We have a lot of those
precious fathers. We had a special
program for them with an attendance of
144 and 34 fathers.
Chickasaw: Our youth enjoyed camp!
Each shared their experiences: The
classes, games, food, fellowship and most
of all the “evening services”. What a
blessing to hear them tell their stories.
Tim Givens and Nathan Tadlock held us a
“Freedom 2012" revival. The “Breaking
Chains” sang each night. The anointing
was so strong each night. Several
churches brought their youth with some
receiving salvation, some delivered from
oppression and one healed of a painful arm.
This lady could not raise her arm but God
healed and she regained complete
movement. God is so good! One of the
Methodist youth’s mom was slain in the
Spirit. The revival Spirit is still moving
and we are so thankful. We pray “Lord
keep your fire burning”.
Fayette-North Pointe: Excitement and
praise is in the air for all God’s blessings.
North Pointe honored 26 fathers on
Father’s Day and were encouraged to
continue to be God’s leaders in their homes
and families. Plans are underway for Kids
Krusade in July. We are expecting an
outpouring of the Holy Spirit with our
youth. We praise God for blessing us with
a projector and screen for the sanctuary.
Several men have worked many hours
installing new lighting in the sanctuary. A
church workday was scheduled for last
minute touches that were needed to
complete the updating. We thank God for
loving and willing workers who want to
welcome newcomers into the house of the
Lord, providing their experience with God
as pleasant, loving and spiritually filling
their needs.
Gadsden-Living Waters: Gadsden is so
blessed to be touched by our Savior’s
healing! He saw the need of each one that
needed His healing hand for “Body and
Soul”. Our many thanks to Him and all our
church families that prayed.
Greenpond: The steps of a good man are
ordered by the Lord:
and he delighteth in
his way. Psalm 37:23.
Twenty five fathers
were in attendance
and honored in a
special Father’s Day
program. Each was
presented with a gift
of apprecia tion.
Fathers merit loving
compliments of praise.
We were honored to
h a v e B r o t h e r
Baysinger to minister
in the morning and
Sister Baysinger spoke in the evening
service. They were truly a blessing. God
was in the house at the Ladies’ Day
meeting. Linda Young was the guest
speaker. Linda spoke on “Woman of
God” and did an outstanding job. Each
meeting gets better and better. Several
ladies attended the District Ladies Day at
Gordo. Great reports were shared when
they returned. The Seniors enjoyed an
awesome trip to see “The Miracle
Worker” in Tuscumbia, Alabama. Dinner
was at Mama Jean’s. The play, food and
fellowship made it a great evening. We
are a busy church. The WOW outreach,
Bible studies, ladies’ prayer meetings,
fellowship breakfast, youth activities,
drama team and the upcoming VBS are
just a few of the many happenings in our
church. Thank you Lord for your
blessings.
Hackleburg: This past Sunday was
blessed! We continue to move into
restoration as we press on to reach our
community. We had several visitors on
Sunday. We had our first “real”
intercessory prayer since the Tuesday
night before the storm. It was a sweet time
yet sobering. Wynn Knowles is
spearheading intercession gatherings,
focusing on a prayer strategy the Lord
gave him sometime back. For 60 minutes
we went to battle for the increase of souls
and the healing of our community! Pastor
Dustin is doing summer activities with
youth and children’s ministries. They are
continually in a growth pattern. We are
thankful. We are in love with HIM and
moving FORWARD...”True North”.
Harris Chapel: We had a great
Homecoming Day! The house was almost
full for worship service where Dr.
Sylvester Smith (former pastor) shared an
anointed and encouraging message. He
and Sister Bobbie were here about six
years and the local people as well as the
community were glad to see them again.
Several others joined us for lunch, where
we enjoyed a “spread” of great food.
After lunch, others joined as Brother
Stanley Reeves, Shannon Sutton and the
Williams Sisters blessed us with anointed
singing. Lots of work and preparation go
into such an occasion, but it is well worth
the effort.
Leesburg: On Father’s Day Harley and
Jodi Lamey presented a wonderful
program and the children gave all fathers
gifts. We celebrated the Wild West in our
Vacation Bible School with the church
being transformed into an old western
town. Sheriff Tim and Ann Douglas and
all the VBS staff did an outstanding job!
There were puppets, classes, refreshment,
crafts and recreation. Closing exercises
were conducted on Sunday morning with
109 in attendance and several children
accepted the Lord into their hearts.
Sunday afternoon, a hotdog bar,
watermelon and cookies were served
before the children enjoyed a hug water
slide. A portion of the VBS offering will
go towards purchasing school supplies for
children.
M oulton: We joined together with five
other churches for a special service. Just
felt a sweet presence of the Lord during
the worship, message, and a majority of
those in attendance joined in a time of
prayer in the altar seeking or thanking God
for their freedom in Him. Very refreshing.
We had a record attendance of 22 at our
monthly men’s breakfast. One of our own,
Matthew Webster, gave an encouraging
devotion on “Serenity, Courage, and
Wisdom”.
Poarch: Bishop Jones brought an
outstanding message. We all enjoyed
visiting with him.
Short Creek: Praise the Lord for Camp
Boothe! Our children from Collegiate to
Big Shots were truly blessed at camp this
year. Our appreciation to all who worked
and gave their time and energy to this
wonderful month of revival. To God be the
glory! Our youth have been hard at work
raising money for their trip to Tennessee in
July. The anticipation is very high for this
upcoming adventure. The children had an
“Out of School Party” with water games,
food and fellowship. The last Tuesday of
the month, the senior citizens met for a
luncheon. The Ladies Ministry has been
meeting on Tuesday evening for Bible
study; Theme: “When Women Say Yes To
God”. Praise the Lord for a wonderful
Spirit filled month.
Summerbrook: We had several youth go
to camp. They all received a blessing and
cannot wait until next year to go again. The
4 Sunday morning, we had the Christianth
Motorcycle Association with us for
worship. They were a blessing. May God
bless them for what they do for God.
Tarrant: June has been a glorious month.
We were blessed to send 4 youth to Camp
Boothe. The monthly birthday party at the
Presbyterian Manor was great as usually.
Katrina did an outstanding job in honoring
our fathers on Father’s Day. The Monday
night prayer meetings have proven to be a
blessing to our local church. We’re only a
$1,050 from having the funds for the
ceiling in the fellowship hall. We are now
planning our VBS and you are welcome to
be a part of this great outreach.
Trinity: What an awesome time at Trinity.
Great worship, great presence during
preaching, people praying and seeking God
following the messages. Brother Tony
Brown preached one service about
throwing stones. He gave each one in the
audience a small stone and asked at the end
of the message to come to the altar and give
the stone to God instead of throwing it at
someone. Great times.
Twilleytown: We are on the move once
again...Missionary night, the house was
full. Many of the former members were
there. The title of the service was “Holding
On”. Donna Hyde did an awesome job
with the Lord’s help. Kelli Reed gave her
testimony and Lewis Hyde preached on
“Tie a Knot At The End Of Your Rope
And Hang On”. He used Job as the
example. The Holy Ghost was there in a
mighty way and every one was blessed.
Winfield City Family: A tent revival was
conducted July 8-14 on our new property
with various worship leaders and ministers
from surrounding churches. There were 4
saved, 4 sanctified and 4 filled with the
Holy Ghost. Each night was outstanding
with a mighty outpouring of the Spirit.
People were healed and are not talking
about just a mild headache. Backs were
straightened, knees back in place, kidneys
healed. It was good! The preaching each
night was heavenly anointed. You can go
to our site and look at the pictures.
Winfieldcityfamilychurch.blogspot.com
(At the time this report was sent in, the
revival was still going on.)
3 Reason People Don’t
Come Back The giant concern of churches everywhere
is that people come, but they don’t come back.
It’s the problem of Outreach without
Retention.
Pastors and Church Leaders continually
stress out and experience frustration because
they see people come in and TRY their church
,but they never see them again.
There are lots of reasons why this may be
happening, but here are THREE:
1. They Don’t Know Where to Go
As soon as a person turns their car into your
church property, it should be glaringly clear
where they should go. Finding a Parking place
should be easy, Finding the Correct Entry
Doors should be Easy, and Knowing where to
take their kids and enter the sanctuary should
be Easy. If these things aren’t Easy, the
anxiety begins.
2. They Don’t Know What to Do
If newcomers don’t know what to do, they look
out of place. Nobody likes to feel out of place.
The two biggest questions new guests have
when they come to your church for the first
time are “Where are we supposed to Go?” And
“What are we supposed to Do?” They want to
fit in, not stick out like a sore thumb. Do
everything you can, through signage and
trained greeters, to help them fit in fast.

3 REASONS......
3. They Feel Like An Outsider
People can detect whether they are truly welcome
or not. Fake faces and words don’t go far with
anybody. Your church (especially the front-
liners) must have a true CARE and
COMPASSION toward every single person that
walks into your church. When the real CARE is
there, they feel it and know it. The last thing a
guest needs is to feel isolated and alone in the
one place they shouldn’t be.
