What a wonderful day in the House of God!

All the workers of Temple Baptist Church of Lafayette, LA ought to be
commended for their hard labor!  

Saturday, we were out on their routes and knocking doors.  Tanya and
Stonewall went with one of the bus routes, I had the priviledge to knock
doors with Bro. Richard.  We had a great visit with Mrs. Tebeux.  She is
a 61 years old, lost Catholic.  Her son is an Attorney who is Born Again.
 Omar is always trying to witness to his Mother.  She kept saying, "That
is what Omar tells me.  He just showed that to me", etc.

It was just a clear as a bell that God had sent us there to be a second
witness to Omar's Mother.

When Sunday came, there were over 170 people at Church Sunday Morning!
12 people received the gift of Salvation!!

It was great to be with you, Temple Baptist Church.

What a meeting! 
 
The Lord met with us, folks!  I understand Bible Baptist is planning to
hold a meeting like this every year.  I pray that I will be able to make
it every year.
 
Directly after the preaching service the people testified for at least 15
more minutes or so.  No hurry to "cut bait, and run"! 
 
Thank you, Lord, for such a time as this!
 
Lord willing, I will be traveling to Lafayette, LA for Wednesday and
Sunday Services at the Temple Baptist Church.

Howdy from Krotz Springs, LA!

Bible Baptist Church is celebrating their 20th year!  What a joy to be a
part of this special meeting.  For the first time in 20 years, they are
having Morning services Thursday-Saturday, and I'll preach each night.

There was a young lady saved tonight!  Miss Harley. 

The young people really need a touch from God!  I have a real burden this
week to pray for God to call some young men into the ministry and for
some young ladies to be called into complete surrender!  There is more to
life than chasing the dollar.  There is much more that God wants for the
youth of our land.  Education, Wealth, pursuit of happiness, all of it is
vanity without seeking The Lord first!

There has been a good move of the Holy Spirit the last two nights, but He
wants to do much more, abundantly, above all we could ask or think!!

We had a great time at Testimonial Baptist Church Sunday Night! 
Thank you, Church, for being good to my Family!  And I thank our God that
you have such a love for your Teenagers!

Lord willing, we will be back in May when we come back down from Maine
and Canada.

Sunday Morning my family and I enjoyed a good service at Refuge Baptist
Church.  Sure was good to see my friends there.

We are on our way to Louisianna.  I certainly covet your prayers for
travel.

We have a new Teen in Focus on our website:  www.truth4teens.org
Sister Jessica Garrett was saved at Victorious Valley Girls Academy.  You
will enjoy reading her Testimony!

I will write to you from LA.

During the Revival at Lake Road Baptist Church, God granted good liberty
to preach.  Brother Ray, who was saved the Saturday before the Revival
started, came during the Meeting some.  One night, The Lord had me to
preach about the King James Bible verses all other Perversions, so called
"Bibles".  It wasn't an entire message on this topic, but during the
message, it was pretty plain that "somebody in here needs this".

Well after this messaged Ray threw his NIV in the garbage and bought a
King James Bible from the Church's Bookstore!  He said, "I'm going home
and write in the opening fly leaf, "THIS BOOK WILL KEEP ME FROM SIN, OR
SIN WILL KEEP ME FROM THIS BOOK"!!

GLORY!

That is the spirit of Christ!  This crowd that gets mad when they hear
the truth about the Bibles, I doubt are even saved!  It's not just
opinion, or preference.  The King James Bible is God's words, ALL other
English Translations are Satanic in origin.
 
Psalms 12:6, "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a
furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7  Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this
generation for ever."

Isaiah 8:20, "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not
according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."

I also preached at Calvary Baptist Academy in Greenville, NC on
Wednesday.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM THE BLANKENSHIP FAMILY.
I am thankful for another year of safety and provision here on the road.
(I am starting my 15th year in the Ministry and Ninth year of living on
the Road for The Lord.)
I am thankful for my Son being saved this year!
I am thankful for the souls that have been saved throughout this year.
Thank you for your faithful prayers and support for my Family.  I thank
God for the Family of God.

God Bless, We truly would love to spend Thanksgiving with The Lord in
Heaven today!!

So much has taken place for God's Glory!

Inside the Christian Schools:
Calvary Baptist of Greenville
Calvary Baptist of New Bern

We have enjoyed preaching the daily Chapel Services in each.  As of this
writing, I am still preaching daily in New Bern.  The spirit has been
tremendous and the Students commenting to me that they are really
receiving help of The Lord.  He is our Helper!!
Some of the Teachers are commenting as well.  There is an excellent stir
of our spirits here.

I accompanied Pastor Steve Cuthrell to the Funeral of a 24 year old young
man who had overdosed on Drugs.  How sad to see the Family and Friends of
this precious soul who had no hope.  It was clear that overall, they did
not know the Lord.  The deceased's girlfriend was present.  They were to
be married on this exact day.  My heart goes out to them.  If only they
would turn to the only one who could help, Jesus Christ.

At Lakeroad Baptist Church:

My, how The Lord has met with us.  Each message has been directly from
God to the people of God.  Please be mindful of us as we try to preach
The Word of God.  There are some evident real needs during this time.

Pray for a young man named Justin who desperately needs a working of God
in his life.
Pray for Emily who has turned her back on The Lord.
Pray for Katie's Family.
Pray for Danielle of GA who has trendous attatchment to this world's
music.

So many Teens who are in grave need of help and hope.  Thank you for your
faithful prayers and your love for the Teens of this world.

Praise The Good Lord!

We were priviledged to preach for Three Days at The Calvary Baptist
Church Academy of Greenville, NC.  The last Day, The Lord convicted two
of their lost condition, but they would not make a move. 

Today began Homecoming Revival Services for Faith Baptist Church of
Trenton, NC.  This Morning, we had visitors from all areas of NC.

We will meet together for the next three days at 7:00pm each night.  If
you are close by, come on out!

During the afternoon service, many folks testified giving God all glory
and honor!
It was a joy to hear an Eighty year old Sister testify!  I wish I could
hear my own Grandmother testify! 

It was excellent to hear Tanya testify that Nov. 05 marks her Spiritual
Birthday!  She was Born Again on this date in 1989!

I shouted to hear Isaac Stonewall stand and thank The Lord for Saving his
soul!

GLORY! GLORY! GLORY!

Next week marks our Fall Revival at Lake Road Baptist Church of Havelock,
NC.

Please pray for the meetings and for our Family!  Thank you!

The Lord granted an excellent Revival Meeting at the Bethel Baptist
Church of Wilson, NC.  There were about Six Souls saved in addition to my
Son, Stonewall.  I have a picture of me and the Twin boys who were saved
during the meeting on our website: www.truth4teens.org  Enter the site
and go to REVIVAL UPDATES.

During the week, me and Stonewall were out playing in the front yard of
the Church Property when Troy Silver walked by.  I invited him to the
meeting and then asked if he had ever been Born Again.  He had not and
granted me the opportunity to show him in the Bible how he could be.
Troy trusted the shed blood of Christ and was saved!  Stonewall kept
referring to this day as "Soul Winning".  He would then ask if we could
go "Soul Winning" every time he wanted to go out to play!  Shouldn't we
Adults get enthused about "Soul Winning" as a Child!!!!

This weekend, I was found in Windsor, NC preaching at the New Lighthouse
Baptist Church.  A dear man was saved Sunday Morning!  He had been a
Drunk and Crack addict.  What rejoicing during this service!  In between
service, I also preached at the Crossroads Baptist Church of Wilmar, NC
(about an hour away).  God gave us a great service there.

This week, I will be doing some recording for the Radio Programs. 
If you are close to Trenton, NC (close to Kinston), you are invited for
Home Coming Revival Services at the Faith Missionary Baptist Church
starting November 05-08.

May The Lord bless you and keep looking up, this may be the Day of our
Lord's return!

MY SON, ISAAC STONEWALL WAS SAVED TONIGHT!

GLORY TO THE LAMB OF GOD!

It was such a sweet spirit tonight.  During Family Devotions, he said,
"I'm Lost.  I play my guitar in front of those Juvenile Boys and try to
make them think that I am good.  But, I'm not."  

A little later, he said, "Something is wrong.  Something is not right."
I asked what he thought it may be.  He said, "It may be The Lord dealing
with me, telling me to get saved."

He trusted The Lord tonight!  What a shouting good time !  12:20am
Thursday Morning!  GLORY TO THE LIVING LORD!  HIS PROMISES ARE TRUE.
Acts 16:31, "And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou
shalt be saved, and thy house."

While we were all rejoicing, he said, "I didn't get saved in Church, but
I got saved in the Motorhome!"

Bro. Blankenship

October 24, 2006

Well, Praise The Living Lord!
THREE SOULS WERE SAVED TONIGHT!
Scotty and Scottie are 12 year old twins.  God had been dealing with them
both every service!  They were brought each service by their GrandMother
who ALSO WAS SAVED TONIGHT!! 

What a glorious time in the House of God.  I had the priviledge to deal
with Scotty tonight and after being saved, he exclaimed, "My Dad needs
God too!"  What a blessing!  A desire to see his Daddy Saved.   Thank God
for "first fruits"!  It is a natural urgency in the heart of every Saved
Soul to want their Family to be Born Again to miss Hell's flames!

Grandmother had been a Church Goer.  She had been a "good elderly lady".
As sweet as she could be.  Yet, still lost and heading to Hell's
torments!  BUT, GOD!  She submitted to The Lord, repenting from her Self
Righteousness.  AMEN!

This is only Tuesday Night!  Please continue to pray for the meeting,
please.

We finished up in FL on Friday. 

There were NINETEEN total Juveniles Saved during the two weeks there! 

Here is one of the letters I received:
"Dear Brother,
I started this program with no feeling for a higher power.  I believed in
Evolution and the Big Bang.  And that no sin will ever be used against me
after I'm dead.
I came to (this facility). I came upon a comic by Chick Publications
(called) 'PRIMAL MAN?'.  I read it and after I no longer believe in
Evolution.  I went to Church and listened to the Preacher.  I got down on
my knees and prayed, 'O Holy Jesus, come into my heart and take away my
sin, and make me a child of God.'
And I was Saved."

This is an example of how sowing and reaping works!  I don't know if I
put this Chick Publications in earlier, or if another Preacher brought it
in.  All I know is:          1 Corinthians 3:6, "I have planted, Apollos
watered; but God gave the increase."

The Lord granted much help during these meetings!  I remember the days
when just me and my Wife would go into Facilities.  Tanya and I would
provide the music, I would lead the songs and then; I would often preach
three or four times each night.  These two weeks we had at least 10 who
helped almost every service!   One of the preachers even brought his Bag
Pipes in one night!  I would be interested in learning this instrument!

My Family and I arrived safely here in Wilson, NC tonight.  It was about
a 12-13 hour trip.  Only one near collision earlier.  Thank you for your
continuous prayers for our safety on the road.  They were certainly
answered today!

I begin Revival services with Bethel Baptist Church tomorrow, where Leon
Lucas is the good Pastor.  If you are near to Wilson, you are personally
invited for the 7:00 services starting Monday - Friday.

Lord willing, I will be helping Monday and Friday with FBN Radio
Share-a-thon down in New Port, NC.  I urge you to call anytime during
Share-a-thon.  I will personally be there from 7:00 am - 11:00 am Monday
and Friday only.  I am looking for your call!
1-800-245-9685  you can also listen in live by accessing www.fbnradio.com


God Bless!

Thank you for praying about the Wilderness Camp!  We held our first
service here and it was a blessing! 

25 Possible boys could come to service, and 15 came!  God granted 1 1/2
hours for the service.  Of the fifteen in service, FOUR young men traded
their unrighteousness for the Righteousness of Jesus Christ.  I was
enjoying the liberty of the Holy Ghost so much that time got away from
us! 

At the end of the service, I opened up for invitation time.  A plea for
whosoever will! No one moved.  I preached on "LOST, the Saddest Word in
the Bible"  People are "living" but, they are lost.  They are breathing,
laughing, working, playing, etc, but they are dead (spiritually)
Ephesians 2:1, "¶And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses
and sins;
2  Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now
worketh in the children of disobedience:
3  Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts
of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and
were by nature the children of wrath, even as others."

We all have been in the state! (Romans 3:22, "Even the righteousness of
God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that
believe: for there is no difference:
23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;")

The difference is the Blood of Christ! 
The difference is    Luke 15:18, "I will arise and go to my father, and
will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

19  And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy
hired servants.
20  And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way
off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his
neck, and kissed him.
21  And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and
in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son."

And the Father had compassion on this lost son!  He was clothed with the
"robe of righteousness";  "ring of redemption";  "shoes of
sanctification!"   And they ate steaks to boot!  (fatted calf killed;
i.e. veal!)

I did not have the time to prolong the invition time.  "to sing another
stanza of 'Just As I Am'."  "I'll count to five and shut the services
down"  As I began to count, one...two...three...no one budged.  "FOUR", a
young man SHOT out and trusted Christ!  then another, then all four!
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!  The young men sure were glad to be saved!!

There are a couple of young men who wish to continue on in this open
door.  Please pray God will grant liberty to do so.

Sunday, I will be preaching for Crestview Independent Baptist Church for
both services, Lord willing. 

Monday will start our Three Day Revival in the local Detention Center. 
I covet your prayers.

My Family and I are in the Juvenile Delinquent Facilities here in
Florida!  O.Y.D.C. is our first Revival.  This is a "Program" for
"Development" of these Delinquents.  The Color Shirts mean safety and
security issues.  One color means Orientation.  Another color would mean
suicide watch, another meaning "runner" (has escaped or is known to
try!).  The name of the game in this program is to obey, respect, and
gain priveledges by a "point system". 

I just finished my second night here. I normally preach a Five Day
Revival, but chose to shorten this one so as to be able to get my foot
into another Facility.  Lord willing, we will enter a Wilderness Program.
 This will be the first time for this one.

Next week, I am scheduled for three Days in O.R.J.D.C. of Crestview. 

There have been several young men to be dealt with concerning their
eternal destination, and there have been about Five who have trusted the
shed Blood of Christ in exchange for their Sin!    Tonight, The Lord gave
an excellent spirit of Conviction! It is interesting to observe young men
trying to laugh of Conviction.  Others couldn't hide it! 

Bro. David Berkowitz bought a few more Bibles for the Ministry along with
"Bible Promise Books".  These were very sought after tonight.  Lord
willing, I want to buy a case of these to use in other Facilities in the
Future.

There is a Hispanic there named Villa that is enjoying the services
immensely!  In fact, several are coming in smiling like he is and ready
for the meeting!  The guys are participating very well in singing and
making melody in their hearts!  There are always a couple of "clowns"
that escaped from the Circus, but, Thank The Lord, they haven't disrupted
the services!!

Two more Radio Stations have picked up "Truth For Teens Broadcast"!
WNVY 1090AM Pensacola FL (11:00AM every Saturday)
WSKY 1230AM Asheville, NC (7:15 PM every Saturday)

Also, WYYC 1250AM in York, PA is going to begin airing "Truth For Teens
Broadcast" along with "Teen Issues"!  "Teen Issues" is airing Monday -
Friday at 7:55PM and now "TFTB" will air at 11:00AM every Saturday.

Keep looking up!  The Lord is soon to return!

The Lord met with us in each service here at Gospel Light Baptist Church!
The Alter was used each night of the meeting with Not only the Salvation
of Bro. Morgan, but also the Saints of God getting help.

The Testimonies Wednesday Night included:
Thanking God For conviction
Thanking God for Salvation
Thanking God for the Meeting.

And much, much more!

Brother Morgan stopped by this Morning (Thursday) at 7:00am and spoke to
me one more time before I must leave this area.  He kept on "Thanking Me"
for being here and saving his life.  I quickly pointed him back to
Christ!  "Bro. Morgan, it was  not I, but the precious Lamb of God who
saved you!"  He said that Christ had saved his soul, and I had not only
saved his "life" but countless others!  He said that he had been drinking
for sometime now.  Running up and down the roads drinking.  If he hadn't
been saved, he and/or others may have been killed because of it.  I
understood exactly what he was saying.  James 5:20, "Let him know, that
he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a
soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins."

 He said that he has been a "good man".  Trying to help others, trying to
do right, trying to be kind, etc.  BUT NOW!!  IT IS DIFFERENT!! 

Now, Bro. Morgan was saved Sunday Night and was in the Alter every night
after that.  Last night he testified, "Monday was difficult.  Tuesday, I
woke up with a Headache and did not sleep very well.  BUT, TODAY!!  I
feel great!  I haven't had a drop to drink in THREE DAYS!!"  This Morning
when he came over, he even said he woke up with Gospel Hymns in his
head!!  
2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

***Please pray for Lewis Morgan.  He is loving being saved!  He said, "I
don't think it is too late!"  AMEN!  Remember my dear Daddy.  He is a man
of 63 years old and never saved.  He is a good man.  He is dear sold.
But, he is lost and heading for Hell.  PLEASE CALL EDDIE BLANKENSHIP out
in prayer.***

If you are close to the Eastern Shore of Maryland.  I invite you over to
Faith Bible Baptist Church of Easton, MD.  I'll be there on Saturday
Night and Sunday Morning.

I will be preaching Revivals in Three Juvenile Delinquent Facilities
starting the second week of October down in Florida.   Please pray for
these Revivals.

Glory To The Lamb of God!
The Revival here at Gospel Light Baptist Church of Mechanicsville, MD is
underway. 

The Lord truly met with us today!  This is the first time I have preached
for this dear Pastor and Church.  The Lord has knit our hearts together.
These are some precious people.  Just hearing a couple of the Men pray
this Morning was a blessing to this Preacher!  These are some folk with
love in their hearts for God!

This Morning there were lost in the service, but no one submitted to The
Lord.  But...
Tonight was different!  Mr. Morgan, 54 years old, trusted the shed blood
of Christ!  This dear soul blessed my heart.  At the end of the Service,
he proceeded to weep and rejoice over The Lord redeeming him!  I tell
you, it is a blessing to see a sinner made a saint! 

We plan to meet through Wednesday Night at 7:00pm each night.

Sorry for the prolonged silence on our end.  We have been involved in a
week long Revival in North Baltimore County, Maryland. 

Originally this was to be a Tent Revival, but a Tent was not available to
us this week.  So, we used "plan B".  Meeting inside of a Church
Building. It was a good meeting.  The Devil even showed up!  But,
thankfully, The Lord was already there.  You know it is a good meeting
when the Devil shows up to disturb you.

  Matthew 3:16, "And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out
of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the
Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
17  And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I
am well pleased.
 
Matthew 4:1  ¶Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to
be tempted of the devil."

After the DOVE, then cometh THE DEVIL.

And to say the Dove showed up would be an understatement.  These were
good services.  A dear Brother has been involved with a perverted sin,
and The Lord convicted him to turn from it!  What a blessing.   Others
testified to receiving help of The Lord.  Young Ten Year old Ben was
saved tonight (Friday).  Right in his pew.  Directly after the Preaching
Service, The Lord gave us an extended Invitation time.  During this time,
many visited the Alter.  Then the Testimonies started!  My Family and I
didn't leave until Midnight tonight.  Most every one stayed until the
last testimony.  And, then cometh the Devil!  The man had to be
rebuked,corrected and instructed in righteousness ( 2 Timothy 3:16, "All
scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:")

Some of the people that were there for the services this week have been
in DEAD, DRY, CRUSTY, STUFFY Religious services, but this is the first
time to be in a Church service that had the Spirit of The Lord giving
Liberty and Light!

I'll place a picture of the service on our Website.  www.truth4teens.org
click on "Revival Updates"

Revival Services begin Sunday (September 24 - 27) at Gospel Light Baptist
Church of Mechanicsville, MD.  You are invited, if you are close.  If
not, please pray for The Lord to move and help.  Sunday, there will be
some lost Race Car Drivers present, please pray.

Also, Heritage Baptist Church will be out at the Harley Davidson Bike
Night Friday (September 29) in York, PA.  I am going to try my best to be
there for this event.  It will be well worth getting out in Public
Ministry.  If you wish to partake in this street work, contact me and
I'll get you in contact with Pastor Grove.  Anyone that can Preach, hold
Scripture signs, pass out tracts, etc.)

Bro. Blankenship

September 15, 2006

Tonight, Friday, is the last night of the schedule Revival here at
Heritage Baptist Church.

We have had Visitors each night.  Last night was real special.  The Holy
Ghost moved in such a tremendous way.  One of those services in which you
knew there was no way for the people to go home and "forget about it".
The Lord is working amongst us.

Tonight, Lord willing, I'll be accompanying Pastor Jim Grove on his
Television Program "Ask The Preacher".  It is a call in show and proves
to be very "exciting" at times, when you hear from the Public.  It gives
you a good sense of what people really are, when they are in the privacy
of their own homes, speaking on their own phone, incognito!  Wish you
could pick the program up.

I'll be here through the weekend, preaching in the Church again on Sunday
Morning.  Sunday Night begins Revival Services in Freeland, Maryland.  It
is just across the State line.  Services begin at 7:00pm if you are able
to come, or if you know folks in this area.

I have my new "Hip Hop" page up now.  As well as "Teens in Focus" page.
You may access these pages from our main page www.truth4teens.org  "Hip
Hop" is informative of where the Hip Hop music originated, and what it's
intent is.  "Teens in Focus" will spotlight a teen that we have met on
the road that is doing something for God.  This Month's is focusing on
Alex from Maine that we recently met.

Hope you enjoy the new pages.  Be sure to sign our guestbook and let us
know what you think.

PS My GrandFather Oscar Junior Bailey died this week.  He died at 82
years of age. GrandDad was a U.S. Army Veteran serving during WW II. He
retired from Blue Ridge Trucking Company after 45 years of service. 
Whether he was Born Again or not remains a mystery.  He had stated to me
that he had been trusting Jesus for a very long time.  However, he was
never concerned about his Grandchildren, or his Children's souls.  Never
have I heard him witness to any of us.  Never have I ever seen him read
his Bible, pray, hold devotions, etc.  In fact, some of my sinful
lifestyle in earlier days was condoned by him and the Family.

I BEG YOU TO PLEASE MAKE YOUR CALLING AND ELECTION SURE!  IF YOU ARE
SAVED, PLEASE ACT LIKE IT.  WHEN YOU DIE LEAVING BEHIND QUESTIONS AS TO
WHETHER YOU ARE SAVED OR NOT, IT TRULY AFFECTS YOUR FAMILY FOR EVER. 

Of my personal Family who have died, only one am I sure of his Salvation.
 The Rest have left either a question mark, or an affirmative of having
not the new Birth. 

September 13, 2006

Revival at Heritage Baptist Church of Logansville, PA is underway!

What a large group for the Monday Night Service.  A few Visitors and good
support from the Church.

Sunday, even though a little tired from the 16 hour trip, God granted
Three good services. 

Monday, The Lord showed up again!  Good spirit of conviction and the
folks received the word of God that was preached.  There were personal
testimonies to me after the service and just before Tuesday service
began.  Parents thanking me for being obedient to The Lord in preaching
the messages needed.

Tuesday Night's message was delivered and The Holy Ghost granted much
liberty to preach!  Thank God!  The sweet Holy Spirit lingered and
comforted, convicted and connected our hearts to Him! 

We only have three more services scheduled this week.  I covet your
prayers as we seek God's will for these messages.  We Want His Power;  we
NEED His Presence!

Bro. Blankenship
PS I will have a new page coming soon to www.truth4teens.org concerning
"Hip Hop Music".  This music has been used by the Devil to warp youth's
minds and strip away their morals.  I'll let you know as soon as it is
published.

Thank you for praying for Stacy Raynes.  She has come through an
operation on her brain.  The GOOD NEWS is that she has woke up once and
recognized her Parents!! 
Please continue praying for this precious young Lady.

Concerning our Revival at South Liberty Baptist Church of Maine:

I tell you, it was hard to leave!  God moved in EVERY service with the
Church Members getting much help.  The youth were getting "fired up"!
The Adults as well.  The Youth began to turn their hearts toward The
Lord!  They moved from the back rows toward the front pews!  They were
moving into the Alters by Wed, Thurs. and Friday!  They were testfying of
destroying Videos, CD's;  Girls were speaking to each other about needing
to buy more skirts and dresses!  I tell you, words cannot illustrate what
The Lord was doing in these teens' lives! 

Pastor Garnett had asked me to stay longer.   Not just finishing the
Week, not just until Sunday, but for a Month!  We discussed how that
Evangelists of yesteryear would stay in meetings for a Month.  Billy
Sunday for example.  

I have tried to follow The Lord's leading for a long time now.  After
prayer and looking into God's Word, I did leave Maine heading for PA on
Friday Night after Services.  I have arrived in PA for this week's of
meetings.  But, part of my heart is still lingering there around South
Liberty!!

To see God move in this fashion!  To know God put the meeting together!
To know the youth were being stirred and turning their heart toward God!
To know that the People were receiving the Word of God with gladness and
joy.  It was difficult for me to leave. 

I have meetings scheduled throughout the rest of the year.  I have
Pastors and Juvenile Delinquent Facilities counting on Bro. Blankenship
to be there.  

The Revival here at Heritage Baptist Church of Logansville, PA started
Sunday.  We had three good services (including Sunday School).  One of my
Radio Programs is aired in this area, so we may have some folks who
listen come to services this week.  I ask you to please pray.

My Son, Isaac Stonewall turned Four Years Old today.  We enjoyed a nice
Dinner with Pastor Grove and Sister Grove at a Steak House Yesterday,
with the Resuraunt providing a Birthday Cake and singing to my Boy!  I
wish I would have had a camera to capture his Joy and Surprise when the
staff sang to him!

Tonight, being Tuesday, the number was down, but The Lord sure met with
us and the Alters were WELL used.  Testimonies followed from the People.

"I want to thank God for second Chances!" cried out one precious Sister!
"I've repented and the Lord has forgiven me.  The Church has forgiven me.
 My Family is here tonight praying together, with only my 14 year old
daughter who is in Romania helping in a Missions Project"

"I have listened to Rap Music for a long time." Testified a 16 Year old.
After hearing this preaching, I DESTROYED EVERY ONE OF THEM THREE DAYS
AGO!

Adults testifying, Teens Testifying, VISITORS testifying!! 

GOD IS GOOD FOLKS!

I have meetings scheduled in PA, but don't know if The Lord wants me to
stay here and cancel or not.  I will keep you posted!! 

Before time slips by,
I wish to thank you for the many, many, many cards we received for my
Birthday (40th) and for Tanya and my Anniversary (11th)  (side note:
Stonewall turns 4 on Sept. 11) 
Every card was personally read and we cried with several and shouted with
others.  EVERYONE OF THEM WAS A BLESSING TO ME AND MY FAMILY.

Thank you for being a friend to us.

This should be "Revival Alert"!

You will remember, I was only going to be in Maine for one week of
Revival at Tabernacle Baptist Church, and then head to PA. 

Since here, The Lord has opened a door of utterance up for me.  Preaching at a
Homeless Shelter, Two Christian Schools, and Two Local Churches!  There was
another Young Man saved this Morning here in Maine!  This time, it was at
the South Liberty Baptist Church.  Fifteen year old Jeff's Dad died in
2002, his Mother left the State with her Boyfriend, and he is all alone. 
An Aunt has received him into her home to be a help.  And, boy, was she
ever a help!  Taking him to Church with her!!!!!!

Jeff testified to me that in different gatherings that he had been urged
to "Come to Jesus".  "But, today!" he said, "Was totally differnt!  It
was MY DAY!"  Amen, Amen, Amen!  There is an appointed day of Death
(Hebrews 9:27, "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after
this the judgment:" ), there is an appointed Day of Salvation (1
Thessalonians 5:9, "For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain
salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,"  2 Corinthians 6:2, "(For he saith,
I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I
succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day
of salvation"

Don't kid yourselves.  Waiting and till YOU are "good and ready" for to
be saved, may never come before you are good and dead and in HELL!  Today
is the day of Salvation!!

Tonight, God moved again during the service!  Another Young Man admitted
to being lost, but HE DID NOT MOVE TOWARD THE LORD!  Folks, this is very
dangerous.  
PLEASE PRAY THAT GOD WILL NOT LEAVE THIS YOUNG MAN ALONE.  PRAY THAT HE
WILL BE BACK TOMORROWN NIGHT AND PRAY THAT HE WILL BE SAVED.  God has
dealt with my heart about what to preach on.

The South Liberty Baptist Church has called for Services tomorrow Night
and Pastor Garnett has asked me to pray about staying to preach through
this week.  I have scheduled a Youth Night in PA for Friday Night, but,
please pray that I will know God's direction in this.

God's will be done!

While Visiting Open Door Baptist Church of Lisbon, Maine the Pastor
Garnett asked me to preach.  I was then asked to preach at the "Haven
of Hope Home" of Lewiston, ME.  This is a ministry to reach the
Homeless and Poor, Sick, etc.  What a ministry!  They were feeding
Chicked Cordon Bleu!  and just before the meal, I preached to a packed
house.  There were folks wanting in that couldn't get in because of the
crowd.  After the Service there were people stating that they had to
stand around outside and try to hear the preaching.  Not only Men and
Women, but Youths and even Families!  It will grip your heart.  There
was a dear man saved after the service.

A young man was Born Again Sunday Night at the Church also.  He heard
me preach mentioning Sodomites and other Sins.  He wanted to know more
about what God thought of it.  After some time of showing him from the
Scriptures he agreed, these were SINS! He had a friend who was a
Sodomite;  And he, personally, was a sinner in need of a Saviour! 

I will be preaching the opening day of The Christian School Wednesday
Morning and then preaching Wednesday Night Church Service, Lord
willing.  Please pray for the presence and power of All Mighty God!

God is so good!

Bro. Blankenship

August 27, 2006

Thank you for your prayers!
I received many emails from my friends letting me know you were praying
for the meeting here in Maine.

God is STILL on the Throne! 

As in every Revival meeting, Some Heeded, Some Halted.  Taking account of
every message preached, there was a "Theme" to the meeting.  The Theme of
"Get Right and quit pretending everything is O.K."

If you will read Joshua 24, you will find Joshua calling all the tribes
of Israel together with their Heads and leaders.

They present themselves before The Lord. (vs 1)

This is what happens in Revival Services.  Folks present themselves
before The Lord.

Joshua 24:14, "Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity
and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the
other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.
15  ¶And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day
whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were
on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose
land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
16  And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake
the LORD, to serve other gods;
17  For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out
of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those
great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we
went, and among all the people through whom we passed:
18  And the LORD drave out from before us all the people, even the
Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve the LORD;
for he is our God."

WHAT A BOLD STATEMENT.  "...Therefore will we also serve the LORD;  for
he is our God."

But,Joshua says:
19, "And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he
is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your
transgressions nor your sins.
20  If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and
do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good."

He said, "...Ye Cannot serve the LORD:..."

Evidently Joshua knew something about them.  He knows what any Man of God
knows, "TALK IS CHEAP!"  You can make claims and have good intentions,
but it is impossible to serve The LORD with iniquity still in your heart
and sin in your lives.

I continue to covet your prayers.

August 24. 2006

Praise The Lord!
We are in Topsham, Maine at the Tabernacle Baptist Church.

Instead of a Tent Meeting, Pastor Lewis was led of The Lord to cancel
the Tent and have the Revival Meeting in the Church Building.  Prior to
arriving here, serious issues arose.  Pastor Lewis, Bro. Blue and
myself covet your prayers in this matter, please.

I do not have liberty to give detail, please pray.

Even tonight, there was a very disturbing incident.  Because of a
"hyper" soul winner, a young Teen may have been made a two fold child
of Hell!  

I personally covet your prayers on my behalf.  I am very disturbed over
this.  Please pray that The Lord will give me some rest tonight. 

Pray that The Lord will grant an open door to speak to the Teen as well
as the "ABC, Repeat after Me" man.

Thank God for His Word!

Pastor Grove of Heritage Baptist Church, Logansville, PA is trying to
get me into the York Youth Facility.  Please pray for this open door.

Tanya and Stonewall are both doing well.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

We're back in the States with our cell phone in hand! 

We really didn't want to leave Nova Scotia.  I believe I left part of
my heart there!

But, we are glad to back in the States.

Highlights include:

I preached in the Blue Nose Camp Meeting and Six Churches.  The Pastors
there were a true blessing to me and my family!  There were some souls
saved as well as Saved folk encouraged!  I am planning on being back
there next year!

I also preached in the "Harvest House", a Drug/Alcohol Recovery Home.
There were at least two saved there.  Several asked for preaching tapes.

The Lord DID get me into the Juvenile Delinquent Center there in Nova
Scotia!  I wish you could have been there.  Pastor Parrett and I walked
in with perfect liberty!  We spent over an hour with the young Youthful
Offender, showing him the Scriptures and how to be Born Again.  The
young man repented, trusting the blood of Christ!  Thank you for
praying.  When we walked out, we were rejoicing and recounting the much
liberty that God granted!  I also learned that the possibility for
preaching a Revival in this Facility does exist!  Please pray for my
soon return for to preach the Gospel to these Troubled Teens.  As far
as I could find out, there is no one reaching these teens on a regular
basis.

After returning to Maine, I had the opportunity to meet Pastor Theo
Gbeblewou, a National Pastor in Lome Togo, West Africa.  Bro. Theo has
been airing my two Radio Programs for almost a year now. He was
spending some time here in Maine with a friend he went to School with.
 I count it a great honor of getting a chance to meet and speak with
this dear Brother.  He has also asked me to come to West Africa for
Revival Services.  Please help me pray for God's timing on this.  I
would wish to visit their Juvenile Delinquents while in the Country.

Please pray for our upcoming Tent Revival in Topsham, ME.  It will
begin on August 20.

  Another Radio Station in Indiana has started airing my Programs.

This brings you up to date!

We are still in Canada!

While in Nova Scotia, we were invited to preach in several of the
Churches here in the Province.  Sunday Night there was a young girl
saved at New Testament Baptist Church of Halifax!  While I was
preaching, she wrote a note to her Grandma, "I WANT TO BE SAVED!  NOT
BECAUSE MY SISTER IS SAVED.  I DON'T WANT TO GO TO HELL". 
Amen, Amen, Amen!

She is about 10 years old.  Her older sister (who was saved a Month
ago) asked her Grandad to take her Television OUT of her room!!  She
asked for it to be destroyed instead of sold!

God opened the door to witness to a local RV park owner and some
Campers who were sitting around a campsite getting drunk.  For 20
Minutes I got to preach to them!!  I preached about the Two Births;
gave illustrations about the body, soul, and spirt;  and the only way
of Salvation.  Instead of sitting there and nodding their heads and
rolling their eyes (like they do down South!) This was the VERY FIRST
TIME they had EVER heard Bible Truths!!  They all shook my hand and
THANKED me immensely!

We were invited to go to Prince Edward Island.

Thursday, I preached in an "infant Church".  Pastor Elwood is planting
a Church there on PEI.  What a blessing!  A great Move of God!

The people are given to hospitality!  These are some of the dearest
people we have ever met!  (Nova Scota, as well as PEI!)

In witnessing to various people here, I am finding the people open to
the Gospel of Christ!

Please help me pray about getting into the Juvenile Deliquent
Facilities here in Canada.  Lord willing, I will be visiting with a
teen who is incarcerated for stabbing a Cab Driver 10 times!  This is
his SECOND offence for stabbing a Cab Driver!  Pray that I will be
allowed to visit this teen, and pray that The Lord would open a door to
be able to go in for a Revival!

God is able.

My Family and I will be here for another week. 

****notice****
I have "misplaced" my Cell Phone.  So, I have suspended the service for
a week.  This gives me time to get back to America to purchace another
Phone without giving opportunity for someone here to place ROAMING
charges to it.  Pray that it will be found.

This should bring everyone up to date.

I'll try to put some pics on our site in a few days.

WOW!
There is no Word to describe the BLUENOSE CAMP MEETING of Nova Scotia,
Canada!

Folks, this must be the BEST Camp Meeting I have been to in a long time!

It was a Camp Meeting, not a "Cramp" meeting.  Nor was it a Camp "Beating"!

Straight forward BIBLE Preaching and good old fashioned Gospel Music.

There were Five Souls saved during the meeting!  Many, many other
decisions and commitments during the meeting.  The last night of
meeting, we broke 200 in attendance!  The smallest crowd we had was
136!  The meeting was attended by folks from across this area of Canada!

Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, various parts of Nova Scotia, and
from America as well!

Probably 2/3 of the attendance were 30years old and under!

I praise The Lord for working mightily through this meeting.  I hope to
return to this meeting in the near future.

While here, I will be preaching in several of the Churches that were
represented at the meeting. 

Thank you for praying for our safety and for the service. 
I will have pictures to post on my website within the next few weeks.

God Bless!

Another one "got in"!
 
The weekend meeting at Victory Baptist Church has sparked into a Revival
flame!
 
Paul was saved at home on Monday Night around 10:30 pm or so.  I got the
call on Tuesday Morning!
 
Please continue praying for this Church.  Some of you are "ringing the
prayer bells of Heaven"!! 
 
We are in Maine at the present time.  We arrived here on Wednesday and
preached for Tabernacle Baptist Church of Topsham.  Lord willing, we will
be crossing into Nova Scotia on Friday.  The Bluenose Camp Meeting will
hold a Prayer Meeting on Saturday with services starting on Sunday.  I
don't know if I'll have access to email or not, so this may be the last
correspondence for three weeks.  If you need me or Tanya, please call:
205-907-0489 and leave a Voice Mail.  I will check it daily and phone you
back.
 
Keep looking up!  Our Redemption is drawing nigh!

Glory To The Lamb of God!
 
The Lord has met with His People! 
 
Exodus 5:3a, "¶And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with
us:..."
 
Every now and then The Lord has allowed me and my Family to be present
when He truly meets and ministers to His People.  Victory Baptist Church
of Oakland, MD has been such a place. 
 
As you remember, I had plans of being in Nova Scotia by now (or at least
next door in Maine!).  But, The Lord had other plans.  He brought my
attention to a leaking Wheel Seal in the front of the bus.  While in the
Garage, they discovered the drive belt was very worn and would have left
me sitting on the side of the road!  After the repairs were done, we were
on the road a day or so "behind my schedule".  He took me to Victory
Baptist Church and met with us for several days! 
 
My, my, my!  The Lord saved Josiah, a young Teen of the Church!  The Lord
also dealt with the other Church Members on other issues.  
 
Words cannot bring to light what The Lord accomplished through a few
short days of meetings. 
 
I would certainly ask you to please pray for Victory Baptist Church and
the good Man of God there, Bro. Gerald Miller and Family.
 
We are currently in PA, with our nose headed for the "Blue Nose Camp
Meeting" of Nova Scotia.  I would also ask you to please pray for this
meeting.

We started to leave WV Tuesday and found a Wheel Seal leaking. Knowing I
was going to make a long trip to Nova Scotia, I had better get it looked
at.

A shop got me in Wednesday Morning. While there, they replaced a leaking
heater hose on my Bus. I asked them to check my belts. I had one just
about worn out, on the verge of breaking!! The Lord allowed my Seal to
go out so that I could replace my Belts!!! What a God!

Well, this delayed "MY Schedule" a couple of days. I ended up attending
Victory Baptist Church of Oakland, MD and Pastor Miller asked me to
preach. The Lord surly met with us!! In so much, Pastor Miller asked me
if I could stay through Sunday.

Please pray for this "unscheduled Meeting" (Unscheduled by man, but
certainly on God's Calander of events!!) The Church has been through a
lot over the past years and is now in a healing stage. The Lord met with
us again tonight and gave much needed help. PLEASE pray for these next
couple of days that I'll stay out of the way of what God wishes to
accomplish.

We will keep you posted!

The meeting ended well at Pleasant View Baptist Church.

Not only was the Teenager Brian Saved, but one of the Women of the Church
was Saved! She had been under conviction for a while, but got relief
Thursday Night just before the Service started! She Repented of her sin,
trusting the shed blood of Christ and His Righteousness over her own!

I was coming for my Fourth Annual Revival Service, and discovered three
weeks prior that the meeting was changed into a Camp Meeting. Several
Preachers attended and preached! Praise The Lord for Preachers.

Lord willing, I'll be preaching both services here at Pleasant View
Baptist Church Sunday. Then I'll be making my way toward Nova Scotia,
Canada. Please pray for our safety in Traveling. It is a long way!

I met a Brother who has a Talk Show Radio Program daily in Huntington WV.
He has asked me to interview with him soon. Also, he asked me to
consider Broadcasting with one of his Radio Stations he works for. Part
of the consideration is that he has a 30 minute slot open. My two Radio
Programs at present are 15 minute weekly and 5 minute daily. Please help
me pray concerning this open door.

Thank you for your friendship and support of God's Ministry!

I am sitting here thrilled with good news from a far country!

Brian was saved last night!  This is one of the Teens of the Church.
Everyone has been praying for this soul.  He was hardening every service.
 Every time you hear Preaching, you will either have a Bible Revival or a
Sin Revival!  Better or worse, amen.

Brian was becoming worse.  Rejection of God's Holy Words.  Rebellion
towards God's Holy Walk.  Resistance toward The Holy Ghost! 

But, last night God broke him!  He and his Step Mother came running down
the aisle screaming and crying!  A sinner sumbitting to a Holy God.

Pastor Hornbeck was in the Alter praying for this young man, when I
tapped him on the shoulder and asked him to deal with Brian! 

We shouted and rejoiced for some time last night!  What a glorious time.


Tonight is the scheduled last night of the meeting.  God is moving here
in the Mountains of West Virginia.

We are now in West Virginia! Pleasant View Baptist Church.

The Friday Night before we left Tennessee, my boy contracted a Stomach
Virus.

Mercy!

I never knew the little man had so much "stuff" in him. I think he got
rid of food he ate last Month! We were up with him most of the Night, so
I took the time to record some upcoming Radio Broadcasts in my Mobile
Office (Van).

The Lord granted good clarity of mind and Holy Ghost Unction! I recorded
two weeks worth. As I began to expose Witchcraft and preach to the
"unseen" witches who could probably be listening, the dogs in the
neighborhood began barking. It reminded me distinctly of the days that I
preached at Tom Ray's Residential Treatment Center for Youth in
Charlotte, NC. Every service I preached there, as I finished up the
service and would start the Invitation, the dogs would begin barking
wildly!

Folks, this night it was a "familiar spirit"! (Leviticus 20:27)

As I began to edit one of the programs...BOOM! A gun shot! I truly
thought someone was shooting at me! It turns out that it was a a
domestic disturbance just across the street. I could see flashlights and
hear arguing. I felt the best place for me would be inside the Motorhome
covering my Family. Anytime I deal with the topic of the Occult, there is
usually a "domestic disturbance" that follows. The Devil and Unclean
Spirits certainly do not like to be exposed. Thank God for you praying
for our protection as the influx of devils is picking up in these last
days. In fact, we need to pray one for another!

Now, we are in the Fourth Annual Meeting here at Pleasant View Baptist
Church. This Year, Pastor Hornbeck invited another Preacher to preach on
Baptist History during the first two days. Other Preachers showed and
this Revival has grown into Campmeeting!

There has been an excellent spirit in the meeting.

We have two more days of the meeting and then we will be making our way
toward Nova Scotia, Canada.

Bro. Blankenship

Youth Meeting of Searcy, AR went well!  There was an excellent spirit in
the entire meeting.  The first night of the meeting we probably had about
100 in attendance.  The other nights were not much variation in number. 

Several Churches brought their youth out, including Jack Patterson's
Boy's Home from Sweetwater, TN. 

L.G., The Pastor's Son in Law, was saved Friday Night of the meeting!
What Rejoicing!

Me and my Family enjoyed the wonderful Fellowship with long time friends.
 I tell you, God's Family is a BIG Family.  It's good to be among
Brethren who do not fight and fuss with each other.

We left at 11:30 pm From Arkansas and headed for our journey to
Knoxville, TN.  We arrived in Knoxville at 3:30 e.s.t. and prepared for
the Graduation Ceremony of Family Christian Academy of Eastern Tennessee.
 The Ceremony was conducted at the Historic Knoxville Theater.  50
excited Graduates and about 1000 guests were in attendance. 

My Family then enjoyed a Riverboat Ride, compliments of the FCA of
Eastern TN!  Christian fellowship and good food!

I then preached for Pastor Mike Napier at Berea Baptist Church for Sunday
Services.

Thank you for praying for our Travels.  God granted good Strength and
Vitality. 

We will be in White House, TN (North of Nashville) for Camp Meeting
services through Wednesday and then preaching for Gospel Baptist
Tabernacle of Crossville, TN all Day Sunday.

Keep Looking Up, The Lord's Return may be Today!

My Family and I had a great day Sunday! 

What a good service at Faith Baptist of Crossville, TN.  Many of my
friends there thanked me for the message and gave short testimonies of
how the message was a help to them.

Brother Jimbo Seaton will start Revival at Faith Baptist tonight, Monday!
 I'll be able to get in on one night before heading to Searcy, AR. 
Bible Baptist Church, Searcy, AR will be hosting their annual Youth
Meeting starting Wed. (June 14 - 18).  This year, I'll be able to be
there for the first three nights.  But, must leave early to get back to
Knoxville, TN.

**Please pray for the Youth Meeting, as well as Travel mercies.
Saturday, I will be traveling 10-11 hours back to Knoxville to preach the
HOMBUILDER'S Graduation Ceremonies at the Knoxville Theater.  There is an
estimated 900 who will be in attendance to this Graduation.  I'll preach
for Pastor Napier both services Sunday, June 18th and then back to
Crossville, TN to preach for Gospel Baptist Tabernacle on Sunday the
25th.

From Crossville, I'll head to West Virginia, then further NORTH.  PRAY,
PRAY, PRAY!

I just read one of the letters from on of the Troubled Teens incarcerated
at Taft Youth.  Isaac Stonewall was used again of The Lord!

"I believe that I've been put up here so that I'd wake up and stop doing
the things I did to get here.  I am a Christian, I've just had a tough
time dealing w/thingswhen i've had no chance to get away from teh crazy
environment I am in at home.  Now that I am 18 and my Parents are both in
the Federal Prisons, I have no choice but to do things on my own.  I
think I will be alright if I stay away from my old environment.  I'm
going to try my best to stay out and live for The Lord.

PS. YOU'RE RAISING YOUR BOY RIGHT, HE'LL APPRECIATE THAT WHEN HE'S MY
AGE."


Bro. Blankenship
PS Today, Monday June 12 starts my Broadcast, "Teen Issues" on WYYC,

10 at 5:00pm.

The second day of Revival was excellent. We began our day entering the
Lock Down (Special Unit). A very large youth was making much noise and
so vile! He was rapping a filthy Rap song to me trying to make me
nervous. He was the "Hero" of the other guys. There was not any
reception down this one wing. So, we went down to the other wing and
found Brandon and Timothy out of their cells helping in cleaning and
painting. Upon asking them, "How are you doing?" Brandon answered, "I'm
Crip"; Timothy volunteering, "I'm Gangster G!" (these are two rival
gangs). I asked, "What about Christ? You are a Crip and you are a
Gangster G, but, what about being a Christian?" I tell you! The Holy
Spirit began taking over the conversation and dealing with both their
hearts. It is always a blessing to see The Holy Spirit dealing with a
young heart! After showing them the plain Gospel and how to be Born
Again, they both trusted the shed blood of Christ! They couldn't stop
thanking me and praising The Lord for saving them from Hell! In fact I
found out today that one of these young men got a Visit from home. Their
FIRST visit since they had been locked up! What a blessing of the Lord!

The Revival Team Vistited the dorms today, inviting personally every
young man to the service and giving out Gospel Tracts. The language and
actions of these young men still amazes me! They cussed us to our faces.
They threatened us. They ignored us. But, we still invited. We still
persuaded them. And we had several come out for service today!

After the Services today, I spoke to one of the young men who believed
upon Christ the first night. Chris is incarcerated for killing his
Brother. He told me after the service that it has never bothered him
that he killed his own Brother. Until AFTER he was saved!! He is very
much troubled by it. As well as his cussing. I just love to see the
conviction beginning in a new born child of God! Chris knows The Lord
has forgiven him of ALL sin, but please pray for this young man by name.
There is much he will be dealing with now that the devils have left him
and The Holy Spirit moved in!

A total of somewhere between 12 - 15 young men were saved during the
three days. Several was saved in the one on one visitation in their
dorms! Get these guys by themselves and it gives them an opportunity to
think for themselves! And ample opportunity for The Holy Ghost to deal
with them.

I'll be preaching at Faith Baptist Church of Crossville Sunday Morning;
and be at Bible Baptist Church Sunday Night.

Brother Steven Blankenship

June 9, 2006

Five young men trusted the Shed Blood of Christ while on Visitation at
Taft Youth Services!

One young man, Shavon after passing from death to life, began going cell
to cell collecting names of others who would come to the Main Revival
Service! Praise The Lord! Saved for minutes and already SERVING!!

The Lock Down unit (Special Unit) was a little rowdy during the service
with obscenities and kicking their cell door, but not enough to stop the
Gospel preached!

Taft has added another unit since last year. It is the DETENTION or
TRANSITIONAL Dorm. These are youthful offenders who are not sentenced to
a placement yet. These guys were different from the usual offender at
Taft. They are sometimes first time offenders. But, definately more
soft hearted and tender to the Gospel Message.

We held two services simultaneously tonight. One for Detention, and one
for the "open" campus. Chris, from Canada, was saved! After the
preaching of myself and Pastor Ron Ralph, Chris told me, "I was Scared!
I was scared that I would go to Hell." Brother Hensley had showed him
that Submitting to The Lord would save him, Chris couldn't pass that up!
He said, "I FEEL MUCH BETTER NOW! THE LORD SAVED ME!"

I don't have a "count" on who was saved in the main services, but God is
keeping count!

We will have two more days here. Sure could use your prayers.

Chaplain Compton and I are discussing adding a second Revival each year.
Sure could use your prayers for this as well.

My Family and I are on our way to Pikeville, TN.
I will start Revival at Taft Youth Services on Thursday, June 08, 2006.
Please take this to your Church for special prayer. I am fortunate to
have several men from Cornerstone Baptist Church of Carthage, TN to come
and help.

We will enter this Youth Prison at 12:00pm. In addition to the main
service, we will be allowed to visit the Special Unit, ATU, and
Detention. Lord willing we will be able to cover the entire campus!

We will be leaving the Facility by 7:30-8:00pm. Please pray that The
Lord will give us favor with the staff and youth. Pray for REVIVAL, not
just a few days of meetings.

Glory to The Lamb of God!!

The Lord gave us a good meeting tonight at Gethsemene Independent Baptist
Church of Wilson, NC! Several Churches were represented including one
all the way from Asheboro (probably 2 1/2- 3hrs away!!)

How wonderful to hear Bailey's Baptist Church Youth sing for us. What a
joy to see young men dressed like young men! Not sissies and fruitloops!
And the young women dressed with some self respect!

Why do Preachers let their youth dress like bums and derelicts?

Three young men were saved tonight! An Eleven Year old, Nine year old
and a Seven Year old. All praise to The King of Kings.

PLEASE PRAY FOR MR. HAGAR. He is a dear lost man who brought his
children to church tonight! (Thankfully he didn't take them to a Movie
or a Ball Game!) But, he did leave still lost in his sins. Pray that
The Lord would save him tonight!

I'll be Preaching my Personal Testimony for Sunday School and preaching
for the AM service as well as the PM service.

I have been able to stop in on some more supporting Churches while in the
Mocksville, Thomasville, NC area. It is always a blessing to see our
friends and appreciate the WARM welcome from everyone.

We are recording some more radio programs as well. June 10 will mark the
start of our Broadcasts on two more Stations!!

WYYC of York, PA will begin airing "TEEN ISSUES", my five minute
Broadcast Mon-Fri
WFAM of Augusta, GA will begin airing "TRUTH FOR TEENS BROADCAST" my
Fifteen Minute Broadcast on Saturdays. Please pray for these two
Stations that the Broadcasts will be a blessing and a help to not only
Teens, but the Parents of Teens. This May, I am preaching on the Ostrich
concerning Girls and Mothers. June, I will be preaching toward young men
and Dads. The response from Listeners during May has been such a
blessing to this Preacher! A personal welcome goes out to every listener
in York and Augusta!

******************************************
Do not forget the Youth Meeting at Gethsemene Baptist Church of Wilson,NC
Saturday (June 03)!
There will also be FOOD provided. All are invited to come.

I'll will also preach both services on Sunday, June 04.

I noticed that some did not receive our last Revival Update dated May 22.
If you failed to receive it, please go to my website,
www.truth4teens.org and read it online. There were Two saved at Mount
Olive Baptist Church on May 21!! While you are online, you may wish to
listen to some of my Preaching, or look at "What Sin will Do For a Teen".
There are improvements being done continually, please check back often.

Thank you for praying for my Dad, Eddie Blankenship. He is doing well
physically. He was only in the Hospital for a couple of days, went back
to work the following week after his stint was put in, and would not
allow me to mow his grass! He wished to do it! Please pray for my
Daddy's Soul! He is not saved.

June is packed with meetings, please pray for our travels. One Saturday
I will have to drive 10 hours and preach when I arrive. Perhaps, I need
to look for a Plane??

*****************************************
For everyone who regularly prays for my Family and I, here is a Testimony
of God's Grace:
****************************************
Tonight (Tuesday) we drove from Mocksville, NC to Statesville to pick up
Office Supplies. On the way back, The Lord troubled my spirit about my
Van. There has been a creaking noise in the front end for quite some
time, but tonight I was troubled. I did not drive as fast on the
Interstate as usual anticipating some trouble. Sure enough!!
Not in the front in at all, but in the rear. A Rear tire separated and
EXPLODED! Not going too fast, I was able to safely guide the Van off the
Interstate onto the shoulder. I quickly discovered that I had no tools
available to remove the spare from the rear of the Van. I prayed for a
tool. Called the Highway Patrol, and waited. While waiting, I wondered
if I could contact someone near where I was broken down at. I searched
my cell phone for any area code who had recently phoned me or I had
phoned. I came across one and dialed. The voice on the other end was no
other than my good friend, Pastor Jack Hurley! I told him my dilema, he
asked me to hold as he used his house phone to call his Son, Mark. Mark
had just left Bible School in Statesville heading home for Mocksville, on
the same Interstate. Mark had just passed me and turned around and came
back to help. The Lord not only brought me the tool, but a pair of
hands, a Light, and Christian Brother to company with for a few minutes!!

That is my God!

I now will look to buy new tires tomorrow (Wednesday). I am trusting The
Lord to supply them as well! Please help me pray about where to get them
at.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED PRAYERS!

This weekend has been chocked FULL of Blessings.

Two Souls saved and others under conviction.

The weekend started with Saturday's CYF Meeting in Archdale.  Man, oh
man!  Just to preach on the campus of a Public School was tremendous in
itself.  Preacher Mike Hankins had a burden to set this up and God gave
favour.  The Youth Choir sang and a few gave testimonies.  Then Bro.
Hankins and myself brought the messages.  Several received help of The
Lord. 
Then, my favorite day of the week rolled around...SUNDAY!!!

The Lord showed up at Mount Olive Baptist Church Sunday Morning.  The
Holy Spirit began to move on hearts.  While some were in the Altar
getting right, a young Eight year old boy REPENTED of his sin and trusted
the Shed Blood of Christ!!

Some one stated to me once, "I haven't DONE anything bad enough to go to
Hell over".

Jesus said, "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that
believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the
name of the only begotten Son of God." (John 3:18)

We are all condemned already!  A tract once read, "WHAT TO DO TO GO TO
HELL" when you opened it, it was BLANK!  Nothing.  You do nothing to go
to Hell, You are heading there already!

A Tenth Grader of about 15 years of Age was saved This Morning as well.
Her Best Friend went to the Altar with her.  (NOW THAT IS A FRIEND!!)
The Spirit of God draws us to God.  He is the attending Physician at the
spiritual birth.  What a blessing to have your Best Friend on Earth to be
there too!!

Conviction was upon men!  One dear Catholic Gentleman was under such
duress.  You could see the yearning in his face that he really wanted to
be Born Again.  Yet, he did not submit.

Sunday Afternoon, one of the men who had raised his hand that he was
lost, called Pastor Hurley.  He was under such great Conviction that he
raised his hand for help!  He IS Saved and was allowing some sin in his
home among Family.  He couldn't do it anymore, so he has repented and
raising the Standard in his home!

Sunday Night came, and my Family and I were at Liberty Baptist of
Mocksville, TN.  This Excellent Church has been a Monthly Support of this
ministry for about 13 years. 

Again, The Good Holy Ghost began to move within the congregation.  Just
when you would think the Invitation time was coming to a close, ANOTHER
came to the Altar.  A good number of the Teens thanked me for the
Message, some of the Parents thanked me for exposing the sinfullness of
Hellywood and the god of this world (Satan).  "Now that's Preaching";  "I
haven't heard that kind of Preaching in a long time";  "That is what we
need!"  These were a few of the passing comments of folks present.
  
***********
Now, may I make another call for labourers?  I will be in Pikeville, TN
at Taft Youth Services.  We are able to take Volunteers in with my
Family.  If you would like to help in this Revival, June 08, 09, 10;
please contact me BEFORE May 25th. 

There is a need of Soul Winners/Warners;  Some Musicians and Singers
would be a blessing;  and of course PREACHERS! 

Contact me by email or phone:  205-907-0489

We spent Sunday on the Outer Banks of NC with Beacon Baptist Church.  This is the
ONLY Fundamental Independent Baptist Church on the Island!  The Island is 60 miles
long and inhabits about 6000 people.  This is Cape Hatteras Island.  Ocracoke Island
has absolutely NO Independent Baptist Church and probably inhabits about 200 people.
 Of course these Islands being "Vacation spots", there are literally hundreds of
people who come out.

Of the inhabitants, it appears that the "reason" for their moving there is the fact
that they are running from something!  Some are running from the law (two of
America's Most Wanted were spotted on Cape Hatteras Island!);  some are running from
spouses, most are running from GOD!

PREACHERS...
IF YOU ARE CALLED TO PREACH, WOULD YOU PLEASE CONSIDER THESE ISLANDS??  There is a
tremendous need there.  If Preachers who are sitting on our padded pews would arise
and GO, this need would be met.

In conference with Pastor Clyde Eborn of Grace Baptist Church in Newport, NC, he has
issued a "Macedonian call!"  for young couples to come there to be used in Missions.
 He said in Macedonia alone, there is one Missionary who is asking for FIVE more
Missionaries to come!! 

If you are called to preach or know anyone who is in your church, would you PLEASE
give them a copy of this email.  Have them contact me and I'll be glad to give them
information about these needs.  HELP!!!

What about local Churches that are looking for Pastors??  I can put you in touch
with two that I know personally and about 15 more who are looking for MEN OF GOD
that have a King James Bible and not AFRAID to preach!

***********************************************************************************
A VERY SPECIAL PRAYER REQUEST IS FOR MY DAD, EDDIE BLANKENSHIP.
As most everyone knows, he is a lost man.  He is in Mission Hospital of Asheville,
NC undergoing a heart procedure to check for blockages.  He had a heart attack a few
years ago and has a stent in at present.  Currently he has been unable to walk 6-10
steps without stopping because of burning in his chest.  Please pray for him and for
his salvation.
