Shout Out! (Thanksgiving Night Testimony)

Melissa and I had a wonderful time on Thanksgiving Day, hanging out with family, eating some good food and a little rest. But one of the biggest hightlights of the holiday was that night when I went to the jail for the yearly Thanksgiving outreach. We like to refer to it as "The Power of Pie!" We treat those in jail with some pie and soda. Then we treat them with a holiday program. I teamed up with 3 friends (Tyler, Scott and Fisher). We spent time with 2 different groups and both times went incredible. God truly showed up. After sharing testimony and The Word, we then challenged the men to give their lives Jesus! Praise the Lord, 42 made decisions for Jesus! God is good and what better way to end a holiday then see so many come to Him.

Below are a few scriptures regarding salvation decisions:


John 3:16-17

16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.


1 John 1:9
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Jude 1:22-23

22Be merciful to those who doubt; 23snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.

Hebrews 9:27
27Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,

John 10:10 (New International Version)
10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Whose approval are you looking for?

Most of us live very active and full lives. We want to please our spouses, parents, friends, teachers, bosses and so many others. But as we move forward in life, we all come to learn it is not truly possible to please everyone. We will wear ourselves out living a life of people pleasing. But if we live a life to please Him, we can live at peace. We can live a life without worry or stress - a life of freedom, joy and peace!

Below are some scriptures regarding pleasing God:

Proverbs 29:25

25 Fear of man will prove to be a snare,
but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe.


Colossians 3:23-24

23Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.


Galatians 1:10

10Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Acts 4:19-20
19But Peter and John replied, "Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God's sight to obey you rather than God. 20For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."

Acts 5:27-32

27Having brought the apostles, they made them appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest. 28"We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name," he said. "Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man's blood."

29Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than men! 30The God of our fathers raised Jesus from the dead—whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree. 31God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel. 32We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."

Denver NC Christmas Parade and Tree Lighting

Next Saturday, December 5th, is the Denver, NC Christmas Event.

We are one of the sponsors for this event and are believing for many people to be touched with the gospel along with some divine connections. We are currently putting an entry in the parade along with having a some of our musicians play/sing for the tree lighting entertainment.

We can use some help:

1. Much prayer. We are hoping there are 10,000 plus people out at this community event. That means many lives to share the love of Jesus with!

2. Parade entry - we still need some to help with the parade entry, especially a good handful to walk with us to hand out t-shirts, candy canes and wristbands. Our goal is at least 100 t shirts, 1000 candy canes and 200 wristbands. But if we have more people to help, we can do many more.

3. Just yesterday, I recieved information that sponsors of the event have the opportunity to set up a booth (table) at the Tree Lighting Ceremony. If we have enough people, we can do this as well. This would be another great opportunity.

4. Financial Partership. It is costing us well over a $1000 to do everything we are doing. Basically, that is a lot of money for a new church! We know He has all the resources. But He works through us!

On behalf of New Destiny Community Church, thank you for all of your prayers, support and encouragement!

Here are just a few scriptures regarding being thankful:

Psalm 106
1 Praise the LORD.
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.

Psalm 118
1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.

Philippians 4:4-6

4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.


1 Thessalonians 5:18
18give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.


Philemon 1:4-8 (New International Version)

Thanksgiving and Prayer

4I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, 5because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints. 6I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ. 7Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.


2 Thessalonians 1:3-4

3We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing. 4Therefore, among God's churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.

Give thanks! Philippians 4:4-13

Philippians 4:4-13 (New International Version)

4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Thanks for Their Gifts

10I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

I am currently sitting in a hospital room while my wife Melissa recovers from surgery. Praise God the surgery went well and she should have a quick recovery. Thank you to everyone for you prayers, visits, phone calls and support. We appreciate it.

This passage is a powerful passage that helps us to understand to reflect, rejoice and be thankful. It is so easy to get caught up in the stresses of life or at times feel we deserve something. But The Word says to Rejoice! to be Thankful! When we truly reflect about our lives, we can see we have so much to be thankful for.

I am very thankful for a sweet compassionate loving wife. Melissa is my best friend and a gift from God! We our both thankful that God has supplied us financially to pay off all of our debt. We give thanks for a wonderful family and also the call of God, especially to plant New Destiny Community Church and reach our community for Jesus!
