This was our first meeting with Pastor Cumberland and a good week. Pastor and Mrs. Cumberland are some of the finest people with a spirit of serving and excellence. Christy and I refreshed and encouraged with the ministry of the Cumberlands. We felt that we made friends for life! We are looking forward to returning September 2010.

Sunday, October 18th, 2009It was a great privilege to get acquainted with a new church, Temple Baptist Church in Chesapeake VA but reacquainted with old friends, Pastor and Mrs. Jim Rushing Jr.
Our meeting this past October was our third meeting with the Rushings but our first with him in his new ministry and his first Revival meeting in his new ministry also. The Lord truly blessed! Our opening Sunday morning service was attended with a packed house. Six adults walked the aisle for salvation. One gentleman was 74 years of age. Not only did he get saved, but along with other new converts, he continued to attend the meetings and pursue baptism and Church membership. Praise the Lord! The nightly attendance continued to increase even surpassing Sunday night’s total. The Assistant Pastor stated that this was the highest attended Revival meeting by 20% of any meeting during his twenty year tenure there as the assistant. Every night the altar was full and the people were so very responsive to Bible truth. We also had a music man and his family, the Robertson family with us. It created a helpful dynamic that seemed to boost the meetings and encourage the people. This provided a “Revival Choir” where the people could get involved. It was a blessing.

Sunday, October 11th, 2009This was our third meeting at Calvary Baptist Church. We saw about five people saved on one of the Gospel nights. The primary emphasis of the week was basic discipleship truths for the Church, which is normal Christianity. The Pastor commented that this may have been the best attended meeting of any they have had. The Pastor asked along with some of the men, about scheduling a two week Revival meeting.
