31st Annual Campmeeting - day 3
6/20/2018
Today we celebrated the first service that our Women of Worth Helping Hands had during a Camp Meeting. Sister Lois Ruff opened the service with a skit based on what so many people call “The Lord’s Prayer” where God actually answers the woman as she tries to pray. This is an eye-opening skit that helps to open people’s eyes to what God wants us to do when we pray.
After the skit and a special song Sister Carolyn Smith brought a message on the Godly trait of Longsuffering. She did it in a powerful way, I even heard a preacher say that he had never heard a sermon on one word done the way she did this one. She brought out a different trait/gift that we should have in our lives for each letter of the word. (Legacy, Obedience, Nakedness as to how we relate to others, Gifts, Strong, Unbelief, Faithful, Fellowship, Endurance, Remnant, Name, Give) If you get a chance to hear her preach, I think you will be blessed.
After the WoW service, Brother Gary Wingrove had an informative give and take session where he explained what has been going on with the IFGEA. He brought out that we are just starting a Mighty Men of Valor program because the men who are not ministers is just as important to the growth of our churches as the ministers are. Sister C.I. Wilson discussed the fact that she would like for our churches and ministers to submit items of how God is moving in the local churches or poems or sermons that our people have been given by God. They can be put in our monthly newsletter and/or on our website. If you want to submit something just remember space in an issue so please keep them about ½ a typed page.
Tonight’s service opened with a spirit led praise and worship session – then the Holy Ghost took the service over, in my opinion the only way you could have left the service was by being rebellious or beyond feeling the movement of God. There was a spontaneous prayer line and I believe everyone in that line walked out different than when they got in line.
Brother Raymond Cox spontaneously started preaching under the anointing about God was there and what he was doing in the lives of each person there. About nine o’clock the Holy Ghost released the service so that Brother Wingrove dismissed us to enjoy a time of fellowship after introducing a minister that was a first-time visitor to our Camp Meeting, Brother Aaron Finney from Allen, Oklahoma.
The fellowship was like every other time after a service where the Lord moved in a mighty way like we had tonight. It was hard to leave and the last person left about 10 PM.
