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:

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.
