Greetings from the mountains of West Virginia,

We are back in the saddle again and still trying to catch up from the last few weeks. In the last three weeks we have spent time in the hospital with a family, and then proceeded to have a funeral for the family member that passed away, then onto revival and God giving a great time of truth and fellowship. Friday evening of revival we hosted the Hobe Sound Bible College Chapel Choir and successfully made it. It was another great time of fellowship with several friends. After the revival we then proceeded to IHC where you see everyone you haven't seen in the past year. It was so great to catch up with and remember a lot of good ol memories. Where else can you go and have such good fellowship with all the denominational barriers torn down and focus on worshiping God. I loved seeing the great crowd and to the best of my knowledge, it was the biggest crowd at IHC in several years. I am so glad to raise my children in the holiness movement and to hear them say, "They can't wait for IHC, Camp meeting, and Youth Camp." It is worth it to sacrifice to make sure the next generation carries on our holiness message. God bless all of you.

We are readying for Wednesday evening service and trying to finish another school paper. My wife's brother and family arrived yesterday and we are looking forward to visiting with them. It looks as if Thursday will be a day at Valley Worlds of Fun here in Fairmont and then a trip to an Outlet Mall. Life continues on very busy and we are loving it. If any of you know anyone local who would love to hear Hobe Sound Bible College Choir, Please let them know they will be at www.fairmontbmc.org on April 10th. Have a great day and God Bless.

I am praising God for the help of Sunday services. We had several community visitors Sunday morning and the children did a fantastic job as Sis. Becky Simms lead them in the CMB program. The Theme was "Are you on God's Team." God is opening up doors right around the church as we continue to "Reach our community." We are starting revival on April 9th and on Friday evening we are having the Hobe Sound Bible College Choir. If any of you know any in the area who would be interested in coming, please call them or email me at pastorpowell@netzero.net. We are looking forward to God's continued help and are praying for a real breakthrough in the church and community. God Bless you.

Good Morning,

I hope everyone is having a great day. I am in the midst of preparing for youth discovery tonight and Sunday services. I am so thankful Spring is almost here and we already started the spring cleaning. We are also preparing for revival with Rev. William Snider on April 9-12 and Friday evening of revival we are having Hobe Sound Bible College Choir. Please pray for us as we reach out to our community. If you in the area at revival time, please come on by and if not, we will see all of those who are at IHC. Have a great day and God Bless.

I would like to do some catching up. It has been quite a while since I have posted anything. Our church here in Fairmont WV is still going strong, we have started the skateboarding up once again for the summer. We are preparing for a great summer of 2009 and expecting to reach out to the neighborhood once again. To the disappointment of my kids, I have started working on my master's degree. Just as the first class was starting, I lost everything on my external drive. So, such is life…God is helping and I trust God will just keep showing us day by day what He wants and where He wants us to be each day. May God bless you and keep looking up, God is able to hold you up when all around tries to drag you down.
