Pastor Steve Darrow

This was my second time preaching in this Florida church
and the warm spirit in the church out did the warm weather outside. Pastor
Darrow and his wife have a wonderful ministry in this city.

Since my last time here the church grew and I had
the opportunity to meet new folks as well as see those I remembered. The
meeting was well attended and it seemed that each service was a special blessing
in music, fellowship and preaching. There was a growing expectation of how the
Lord was going to speak to hearts.

Among the special music were
Brother Don and Sister Merritt. They travel as a music team around
the country. The old Gospel message was sung in the old powerful
way and the Lord blessed.

The church has a heart for souls around the world or
around the corner
|

Pastor Darrow teaches and leads his people in the matter of
personal soul-winning. Each day folks gathered at the church to go
out into the lanes and by ways to bring the Gospel Message.
Actually each day the numbers grew as more and more hearts were moved in
the services. I was amazed at the determination of a dear Sister
in this church to go out door knocking. Even with a very bad foot
problem she walked the streets with us.
On one such visitation day a man was saved in this doorway.
That night he came to the revival meeting as a profession of his new
found faith in Christ. Not only did he come but he brought his
family with him as well.
There were so many blessing in this meeting. I met a
man that was in my church when I was Pastor here in Connecticut. I
remember the Sunday he came with his Mom. I led his Mom to the
Lord that day. He now has moved back to Florida and goes to this
find church.
I also met a young man that surrendered to preach in a
Revival Meeting I had in New Jersey about a year ago. He now is
attending a Bible College in Florida. He came to the meeting with
some friends. God sure is GOOD .. all the TIME.
A Personal Blessing
Since my last time
here Sister Grace Prindle had gone home to be with the Lord she loved
and served. Brother Ken now 91, was at each of the services.

I
also had a most wonderful and long hoped for experience while here.
In this city lives a couple that were the most influential people in my
life. They were in my very first church in New Jersey and took me
under their wing over 36 years ago. I always felt blessed to have
had them in my life. So while here I had the chance to visit them
and they came each night to the Revival meeting. They are up in
years now but none the less in love with the Lord with a ready and
willing heart to serve Him as best they can any way they can.
Thank you Ken and Grace for
serving the Lord
