What a week!

All of us have had a busy week with the various activities we feel are important. Those activities at the church included a funeral and revival services.

Our beloved Alice Hunt was laid to rest at the Riverside Cemetery north of Losantville. For those present at her funeral, the service was beyond description. With a church full of family, friends, and high church officials, the church service took on the mighty presence of God that has lingered in the following days of our revival. There was Spirit-filled singing like you have never heard. The message and testimonies received unction from on high. The life celebrated in Alice Hunt was evident by God’s glory.

The funeral service did not resemble a funeral. It was uplifting, inspirational, encouraging, and God honoring. All who attended felt the same. If one didn’t know any better, one would have thought we were in a revival. Change occurred within the hearts of the attendants. It became a jump start for the revival services that evening.

God’s presence was so faithful in every revival service. The music organized by Chris was anointed. One of the Schrock Singers began shouting instead of singing. God’s presence was evident.

Our evangelist, Dr. David Perry, brought messages down to earth which dug around where we live. Our souls were stirred for the church and lost.

After all we have said only what is done for Christ will last. After we’re gone our work in Christ will follow. Alice’s funeral gives evidence of that in the continuing revival services. Who would have believed the impact of a funeral service on a revival? “To God be the glory, Great things He has done.”

 

Psalm 63:1“[A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.] O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.”
