Samaritan Revival

Here is a short video of Samaritan Revival singing Amazing Grace in Spanish and English. I believe the guy standing on the stage to the right is Philip Tyson. Philip's dad started the mission work and after he passed away they started the group Samaritan Revival. Before we left my dad and I went and talked with Philip and ask him if he would interpret for us because I wanted to ask Aaron to sign my Bible. After Aaron signed my Bible, I had Philip to also sign my Bible. Aaron's favorite verse is Psalms 18:6 (Salms 18:6) and Philip's favorite verse is Romans 8:1.

Aaron Iglesia from Honduras Part 1

The church that my mom and dad goes to had a Spanish revival this past week. We went Thursday night and Saturday night. Thursday night through Saturday night they had a group sing called Samaritan Revival which is a Spanish speaking group from Honduras. Also Aaron Iglesia from Samaritan Revival preached Thursday and Saturday.

Thursday Aaron preached from Genesis 6:5 and 6...

And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Genesis 6:5

And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. Genesis 6:6

Aaron preached how man hath offended God. That man disobeyed and that is when sin came upon the earth. Sin still hurts the Lord. God still loves us though. God hates the sin but loves the sinner. God has the medicine for the sickness that the world has (I never had thought about it that way before. I have prayed that God will open people's eyes to their sin sickness, but I never thought about the medicine part.). That sickness is sin. The cure is through Jesus' blood.

He read Isaiah 1:5 and 6. He then stated that this society is still filled with men that has this illness (AMEN!). There is still hope for the man that is lost though (Isaiah 53:6 and 7). We don't have to put our hope in something else or someone else. We can put our hope in Jesus because His blood is what saves and cures our sin sickness. He also read Ephesians 2:1, John 14:6, and Romans 5:8.

Vanceburg's Sunday School Banner

Vanceburg had an AWESOME skit. I'm going to try and tell you about it but it would be better to see it. I wish I had a video for it. They had a girl in chains and the devil and demons were around her. They kept pulling her down and saying stuff to her. Then Jesus came on the stage and all the demons and the devil fell to the floor. Then Jesus released the girl from her chains. That's the skit in a nut shell, I wish I could have done better telling it. It was a very powerful skit.

Because it was so good they received 1st place for it. Also they received 2nd place in growth by percentage. The drawing on the banner was done by my friend who I told that we met up after church one night during camp meeting. He was saved at Vanceburg and it was so wonderful seeing him working for the Lord and also seeing him use the altar during camp meeting.

Well this is the last of the Sunday School Banners. I hope you enjoyed it. Now I'm going to get back to regular blogging. Next week I'm going to probably post about hearing Brother Aaron Iglesias from Honduras preach and after that I'm not really sure what I'll post. I guess it will be a wait and see game.

7th Street's Sunday School Banner

Lord you're holy was the theme that 7th Street did. The drama team called Remnant did sign language to "Lord You're Holy." The group's leader read Psalm 18:1-3...

I will love thee, O Lord, my strength. Psalm 18:1

The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Psalm 18:2

I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. Psalm 18:3

Psalm 18:2 is the main verse that was on the banner. They received 3rd place for most in attendance. They also received 3rd place for most youth under 18 in attendance and 2nd place for their skit.

First Columbus' Sunday School Banner

First Columbus CBC had a wonderful skit. They had a lady and their pastor talking about God creating the world. Then they had a song called "God's Painting" and they showed people being saved then going to heaven. At the end they had these signs that they held up, but it didn't make anything. A lot of people felt bad for them because they were holding the signs wrong. But at the end of the song when it talked about the painting being finished they turned the signs and made one huge picture of Jesus' face. It was so awesome.

The pictures of the people are members of their church that has passed away. The picture that the hand is painting around is of a man that attended their church that had recently passed away. This was a great way to honor those people that had went on to be with the Lord.

Russell's Sunday School Banner

Russell's skit was about Paul and Silas. It was a really great skit. Also Nathan the guy who does sign language read almost the whole chapter. Most people I think was surprised because I don't think they knew who could talk. He did a wonderful job. And yet again I can't remember the song they used. This is definitely a sign that I'm getting OLD!

Hayport Road's Sunday School Banner

Hayport Road was another church that I really loved their skit. They had some church members sitting around having a Bible study. And they started to pray and this guy dressed like the devil or a demon (he was in a black robe and had a hood on) was walking around them. He started talking to people one at a time trying to get them to give up or not do things that God called them to do. After this the person would scream really loud, "I'm in the Lord's Army, pass the ammo." The ammo was a Bible. At the end of the skit a woman started to walk away but she ran back to the Bible study group and screamed, "I'm in the Lord's Army, pass the ammo." It was a really great skit.

Also a young man from their church was called to be a missionary. He said he didn't know where God wanted him to go but he would go where God told him. This was exciting news to me though because we have missionaries in other countries but they are people from that country that we support. So for us to have someone called to the mission field is really wonderful, it has been a while since we had someone from the States in our association called.
