The youth service at Orange Heights Baptist Church went very well tonight. A good crowd of teens and young adults were on hand for the event which featured games, food, music and the Word. The Saturday service begins at 6pm. Please be in prayer for this service.
I was contacted late yesterday afternoon by the pastor of Orange Heights Baptist Church to conduct a youth revival tonight & tomorrow night. Pastor Lonnie Broome said they had a last minute cancellation and needed a speaker. The services begin each night at 6pm. Orange Heights Baptist is located on SR26 just off of US301 in Orange Heights, FL (south of Starke & Waldo on US301).
Please be in prayer for these two services as well as the revival that begins at Athens Baptist in Columbia City on Sunday.
The 2004 Ghana Mission Team returned safely yesterday (Monday).
We had several challenges during this trip, but God richly blessed the effort. The crusade drew approximately 800 people the first night and over 2000 each night thereafter. Friday night over 2700 people came to the grounds. We showed “The Passion of the Christ” movie on Saturday night on the large screen and 4,892 people were in attendance. The construction team was able to complete their task and now Zion Evangelistic Ministry has a meeting place for their organization and a community center for local youth. Please continue to pray for the Lord to bless Evangelist Ralph and the members of this organization as they continue to minister in Teshie and surrounding areas.
The greatest blessing of all: 593 souls were added to God’s Kingdom during the crusade!!! Over 600 were saved when you add in decisions made in local churches where I preached. Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!!!
I want to sincerely thank all who prayerfully and financially supported this trip. May God richly bless you for your investment in His Kingdom.
Photos from the trip will be added to www.jamescroft.org in about 2 weeks and video preparation will begin soon. I will post notices as details become available.
We have arrived in Amsterdam safely. After our "interesting" experience just trying to check luggage an uneventful flight was actually nice. I think we may have all slept a few hours on the flight. We begin boarding for Accra in about 35 minutes or so.
I talked to Ralph last night and they are all excited and so are we. I'll try to post a new audio tonight or tomorrow night.
Keep praying!!!

God really blessed our revival services at Riverside Baptist Church in Gilchrist County, FL this week. The meetings ended tonight, but decisions that were made will last for eternity. I pray that the Lord will bless Pastor Alwin Pflueger and the congregation as they minister in the community for Jesus.
Revival services begin today at Riverside Baptist Church south of Fort White. Please pray that God will move mightily in the hearts of His people during these services and that those who do not know Him will be convicted and will respond to the Holy Spirit.
