WELD-FM Radio Interview

The revival services at North Fork Baptist Church in Riverton, West Virginia is off to a great start.  The Sunday morning service had an attendance of 217 people and over 100 returned for the evening service.  The morning service was also the church's homecoming and was followed by dinner-on-the-grounds.  The Lord blessed and moved in each service with many coming to the altar for prayer.

The church arranged for a 15 minute block of time on WELD 101.7 FM in Fisher, West Virginia this morning for an interview with me and an excerpt from one of my sermons.  North Fork's Minister of Youth Todd Bruce conducted the interview which began at 11:15am.  Todd is pictured on the left with WELD's Alan Yokum and James Croft. You can listen to the interview by pressing "P" on the player below.





The music for each service is under the direction of Randy Spurgeon from the West Virginia Baptist Convention.  The meeting continues at 7pm nightly through Wednesday.  For more information or directions call Pastor Dan Powers at (304) 567-2015.

Flashback 1984

With upcoming elections in Florida (and elsewhere), I'm having flashbacks to 1984.  Here's a blast from my past history...


WJXT Channel 4 Eyewitness News in Jacksonville, Florida broadcast this news story about 3'10" tall James Croft of Olustee being elected to the Baker County Commission from District 1.  The story was featured on the station's 6pm news in November of 1984.  Tom Wills is the anchor on this broadcast and Ted Brown is the reporter in a segment called "Off The Road".

This drama was made for, and with, the Gwent Police Department, located approximately 150 miles west of London.

Ghana Bible Distribution Update and Bawku Revival

Evangelist Raphael (Ralph) Adjei Kingbi will be traveling into the Upper East Region of Ghana to lead revival services next week.  The meeting will be held at Ebenezer Presbyterian Church in Bawku Municipality August 15-20, 2010.  Evangelist Ralph pastors a church in the Northern Region of the West Africa country and serves as the Ghana Ministry Coordinator for James Croft Evangelistic Association.  The JCEA led several outdoor evangelistic events in Teshie, Accra in 2002-2004.

The Bawku Municipality, which is the second largest commercial city in the Upper East Region, has since 2007, been in turmoil, as a result of a communal violence between the Kusasis and the Mamprusis.  Evangelist Ralph reports the entire district in under a 10pm curfew and the conflict has affected church life.

"This revival will hopefully, by the Grace of God, bring back the love for worship," said Evangelist Ralph.

Please be in prayer for Ralph's travel, safety, and for the Lord to anoint him to preach the Gospel with His power and authority.

Ralph also reports the distribution of Bibles provided by a partnership between JCEA and First Baptist Church of Lake Butler, Florida is continuing.

"I have two boxes left (out of ten), one English and one local languages. I wish I have a camera to send you pictures of the distributions," he said.

Please pray the Lord will bless every copy of His Word that is distributed and each recipient.

Isaiah 55:11 (NKJV):
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
      It shall not return to Me void,
      But it shall accomplish what I please,
      And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Tebow: Football, NFL not source of true success

CUMMING, Ga. (BP)--With dozens of kids toting Florida Gator signable footballs or miniature orange football helmets, or decked out in blue jerseys with "15" on the back -- and grown-ups wearing their game-day Gator shirts -- it could have been October in Gainesville, Fla.

Instead, the site was First Redeemer Church, a sprawling, 4,000-member SBC church in Cumming, Ga., right in the middle of Georgia Bulldog and Georgia Tech country. The draw was Tim Tebow.

The 6-foot-3, 250-pound former University of Florida Gator, Heisman Trophy winner and new Denver Bronco quarterback spoke to 4,800 in two packed worship services and at a breakfast on Sunday, July 4 as part of the church's annual "God and Country Day."
