Callie and I have had a busy week. I received the opportunity to remove some of the rust from the Beauty (that’s our 2001 suburban) and got her looking good. Callie went shopping with her friend Ms. Glenna. Each service it seems as if their have been many folks willing to be honest with themselves and honest with God and respond to the conviction of the Holy Spirit. PTL for that and looking forward to see what God will do in tonight services. Pray for our safety as we will start traveling back home tonight. I will be preaching at my home church on Sunday and looking forward to it.

Dear Friends

We currently are having a meeting in Hot Springs ,VA .This week it is just me and my daughter Callie . The first day of the revival we had three souls saved . We are very excited for these young people. This week Callie is doing the Kid’s Korner and doing some of the music on the piano. I do believe that people this week are being touched by God’s mighty hand . Continue to pray that the people would respond to Holy Spirit’s conviction .

Coming back to Calvary Baptist Church and School has been a joy! This is our fourth year to be here. We have really developed a great relationship with some of the church people and students. Two teenagers received Christ and two received assurance of their salvation.

We want to thank everyone that provided food for our family this week and for the hospitality of those who had us in their homes.

Our children were able to join some of the classes at the school and they enjoyed themselves and especially loved art class!!!

After a week of vacation, we headed to Hendersonville, NC to be with Calvary Baptist Church, Pastor Ken Mason. This was the first time I preached for Pastor Mason. We had a wonderful week of creating new friends and renewing old acquaintances. Many of the folks enjoyed the preaching and the singing that week. There were two that received Jesus Christ as there personal Savior that week, and that is always exciting. We praise the Lord for his power to redeem us from our sins.

We also have a praise. At this point we have had over $5000.00 committed to us for the purchase of the new-to-us trailer. We have not received all that, but individuals and churches have said they would take a payment or month, so now we have about eight payments left to pay for the trailer. Continue to pray that God will bring in the rest of the finances for the trailer and direct our paths to the right truck.

We made our way to Ashland Street Baptist Church in Archdale, NC. We have been looking forward to being with Pastor Law and his church all year. This church was well prepared for revival. On Sunday morning before Sunday School there were nine men that met for a hour to pray. After that prayer meeting I came back to the trailer and told Jess that God was going to do something special this week. I believe that God moved from the very first service even to the last service. We saw a couple of souls saved and many decisions made by other Christians. On the last service I was struggling with what to preach, but the Lord led me to preach a simple gospel message. The alters were full, not of lost folks but of saints burdened for the lost. Praise the Lord, for people who allowed the Holy Spirit to convict them and then responded to Him.

Last week we were in Rocky Mount, VA. It was beautiful. The fall colors are in full array and we are enjoying them! Woodlawn Baptist Church is no stranger to us. We were happy to see familiar faces there. Although, we missed Mrs. Hawks who passed away from cancer since we were last there. We were encouraged to see Pastor Hawks in good spirits and that he was encouraged in the Lord. Our meeting there went very well. The Lord worked in hearts. We were blessed by their care for us by giving of meals, gifts and financial support of our ministry. Thank you, friends at Woodlawn, for being such a blessing to us!!!

We are excited about a man named Bill who received Christ in the meeting last week. He had rejected Christ because he thought God killed his sister, but God was gracious to show Him that that was not the truth. It was a great meeting. Pastor Goodman was encouraged with the attendance of his people and with the decisions of his people. We had the opportunity to go to the Air National Gard base with Jim Cass, a member at this church. We were able to learn about the F-16 fighter and see four of them take off. Boy, was that loud!!!

Thank you for praying for our meetings and our safety.

I want to start by saying “I am sorry” for not updating as much as I should have. Though I have not written, it is not because there has been a lack of things happening in the D’Andrea family. The month of July started with our Smokie Mountain Retreat and it was an encouragement to our family and the other families as we rested and relaxed. Next we left and went to Belleville, MI and served in a Teen Revival. We saw a number of young people choose Jesus as their personal Saviour. The pastor had never had a teen revival but he was encouraged with the results from the meeting. We traveled from there to Camp Popeye in West Virgina. There were a number of decisions made by the teens that week also. I appreciated the emphasis that Camp Popeye puts on the Word of God. I believe one day we will be back at this camp. Then we headed to Asheboro, NC to Fayetteville Baptist Church to run both a teen revival and VBS. What a busy week that was, but it was also a prosperous week. Next my family and I were headed north to the camp that Rick Moore and I run for a week. This was the highlight of the summer. We had a record number of campers and a record number of verses memorized. The young people saturated themselves with the Word of God and they were getting right with God ,with each other and with their parents.

Our summer tour ended with a bang, but our fall has been just as eventful as our summer. This fall the Lord has filled our schedule completely. The pastors that are on our schedule for the fall seem to have one common denominator, they all seem to be in the valley. What an opportunity to be able to encourage his servants with the Word of God! We have had three weeks of revival thus far and the Lord has seen fit to bless every one of our meetings. We have seen souls saved and saints come back to Jesus with the same love for him like they had when they first got saved.

Many of you remember about our accident on April 12, 2010, I have been praying diligently that God would open the door for us to have a 5th wheel and a diesel dually truck. Well the Lord has open the door for us to purchase a 40 foot Travel Supreme. An evangelist friend of mine called me a couple of week ago and wanted to be a blessing to my family. He said” I do not owe anything on my trailer but I have 19 payments of $500.00 that I owe on my truck and if you want I will sell you my trailer if you take care of those 19 payments.” So what I am trying and trusting that God will do raise these 19 payments by March 2011, so that we can purchase a truck. We can not afford a truck and a trailer payment at the same time. I am asking all those that receive this update to pray with me that we will be able to raise those 19 payments by March of 2011. Our “new to us” trailer will be arriving the week after Thanksgiving. Praise the Lord for his goodness to our family and to your family as well.

Camp Deerlake in Haw River, NC is going very well. This is one of the kids favorite camps. Mr. Brandon, the camp director, spoils the kids at every possible opportunity. He offers them as much candy, ice cream, and popcorn as they could possibly want. Of course Mom says that they have to brush their teeth every time they eat something sweet!!!

Maddie is running “Junior, Junior Camp” for Lynnzie. She is planning games and snack time and learning time for Lynnzie. One of the games she played consisted of Lynnzie carrying a basketball between her knees and walking as fast as she could around a circle on the gym floor. The basketball was about as big as Lynnzie. It was soooo cute.

Please pray that souls will continue to be saved and lives changed for Christ.
