CAMP MEETING 2012

Well, Camp Meeting 2012 has come, and it has gone...so quickly.  This year we again had the following preachers:  Brothers Steve Cowgill, Sam Gipp, Nathan Gipp, Eddie Wyatt and Buddy Blunkall.  All of these men of God were used by the holy Spirit to deliver messages to us in such a powerful way.  I truly praise the Lord for His ministering to all of us each service.  Before I forget you can download and listen to most of the messages on our website (http://www.churchworksmedia.com/recordings/).  Most have already been placed on the website but some still need to be uploaded. Feel free to download and listen at your convenience.

The "THEME" for this years Camp Meeting was "REVIVAL in US and USA"  My wife, Bonnie, and I have been searching the word of God and reading books about revival for several months and we have been researching revivals that have taken place in the past.  We have been praying for the holy Spirit to work in our midst, our church and our nation!  In our study & search we came across much information about one revival that captivated our attention and our heart...the Welch Revival of 1904-1906. That revival was primarily spurred on by young people who were seeking revival.  As the revival spread (over 100,000 were reported saved), pubs closed, the crime rate dropped, drunkards were reformed, bad language disappeared and never returned to the lips of many. The newspapers reported the revival extensively.  There is a hymn associated with that revival entitled, "Here is Love, Vast as the Ocean".  It was spontaneously sung by a young woman, Annie Davies, at one of the meetings in Wales back in 1904 and it eventually became known as the "Love Song of the Welsh Revival".(here is a link to it being sung http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APrUPPC8bFY)  There are several verses but you can get a blessing listening to this short version.  I also suggest you take a look at this link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yWKXkdDZ-A), however, be aware that it is graphic as it attempts to depict the scourging and crucifixion of our Saviour. As a congregation we sung this hymn at every morning & evening service during the Camp Meeting. I do not think I will ever get this hymn out of my mind and heart!

This coming Sunday night (July 22, 2012) at the 6:00 PM service we will be graduating another of our Bible Institute students, Buddy Sadlosky.  It is always a joy to see folks graduate.  They invest much time and effort into taking all of the classes and their labor for the Lord will not be unrewarded.  Buddy will be following the Lord's leading and starting a new church (Cornerstone Baptist Church) in Brattleboro, Vermont on September 9th.  I am blessed to be the one to open the church with the first service and introduce Pastor Buddy to the townsfolk of Brattleboro.  What a blessing it will be for me! I am looking forward to opening the doors of another church here in New England!  Glory to God!

Next Tuesday through Thursday (July 24-26) a bunch of folks from FBBC will be traveling to Berlin, NJ for the Northeast Vision Conference.  Approximately 200 pastors attend this meeting! Pastor Clark and all of the folks at Solid Rock Baptist Church have always done a GREAT job ministering to all of us who attend.  Last year we had 53 folks from our church travel down for the meeting.  All of us were spiritually refreshed and helped.  We are looking forward to the Lord speaking to us again this year.  I am so thankful to the Clark family and all the wonderful folks at SRBC.  They have such a ministering spirit! Please pray for this meeting.

Tean Camp in Maine (August 13-16) , VBS (Aug 20-24), special meetings with Brother James Knox (Oct 1-5), and our Missions Conference with Pastor Jim McGaughey (Oct 28-31) are just a few of the highlighted events over the next few months!

Please continue to pray for the Lord to use FBBC to reach lost souls for Christ, disciple them, and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ with our lives.

    INTERNATIONAL CONCEPT OF WORK FROM HOME
    Work from home theory is fast gaining popularity because of the freedom and flexibility that comes with it. Since one is not bound by fixed working hours, they can schedule their work at the time when they feel most productive and convenient to them. Women & Men benefit a lot from this concept of work since they can balance their home and work perfectly. People mostly find that in this situation, their productivity is higher and stress levels lower. Those who like isolation and a tranquil work environment also tend to prefer this way of working. Today, with the kind of communication networks available, millions of people worldwide are considering this option.

    Women & Men who want to be independent but cannot afford to leave their responsibilities at home aside will benefit a lot from this concept of work. It makes it easier to maintain a healthy balance between home and work. The family doesn't get neglected and you can get your work done too. You can thus effectively juggle home responsibilities with your career. Working from home is definitely a viable option but it also needs a lot of hard work and discipline.

In this job you don't require any degree or qualifications. You only have to know how to take care of children. Parents are happy to pay handsome salary and you can also earn a lot without putting too much of an effort.

    Nursery

    Diet food
    Since now a days Women & Men are more conscious of the food that they eat hence they prefer to have homemade low cal food and if you can start supplying low cal food to various offices then it will be a very good source of income and not too much of efforts. You can hire a few ladies who will help you out and this can be a good business.
