ON THE ROAD WITH THE GLEISERS

Spring and Summer, 2011

It's time to give another report of our recent months on the road in Revival and Evangelism. I thought I would start with a picture that reveals what I find myself doing a lot of: PREACHING! I wouldn't have it any other way. What a great privilege and a glorious responsibility.

SPRING

In the Spring of this year we found ourselves with some Pastors that have been our friends for years and with some new friends as well.

Pastor Matt Anders is the Pastor of Landmark Baptist Church in Louisville, KY. What great leadership and vision the Lord has given Bro. Matt. He is a great student of the Word and humbly leads his people to become compassionate disciple-makers. It was a great joy to be with him and the dear people there. Here Lynn is seen with the Pastor's wives.

My good friend, Dale Cunningham, is the Pastor of Boones Creek Bible Church in Johnson City, TN. Pastor Cunningham is a grand mix of genuine passion for the Lord along with a vibrant love for life. Whenever I am with Bro. Dale I find myself having times of serious talks regarding the things of the Lord; at other times I almost need someone to supply me with oxygen due to the fact that I'm laughing so hard. Since the Bible tells us a "merry heart doeth good like a medicine", Dale Cunningham is going to live with good spiritual health. He truly loves life. We had a tremendous meeting with his church. I think it was one of the all time best.

Later on in the Spring months Lynn and I found our way to Shelby NC to be with Maranatha Baptist Church once again. Pastor Frank Camp is such a good friend and he has had a great impact on many young men who are also preparing for the Ministry. Bro. Camp is a faculty member at Ambassador Baptist College located in Lattimore, NC. While I was holding the Revival meeting at Maranatha, I was also privileged to be at Ambassador Baptist College for a couple of chapel services. I am so grateful for Pastor Camp and his passion for preaching the Word of God. I had tremendous liberty preaching at his church and the Lord did a great work in individual's lives.

One of America's finest churches is Bethel Baptist Church in Sellersville, PA. Rob Campbell is my good friend and the Pastor of the dear people of Bethel. I was so grateful to be back there with him and the good Pastoral staff there, starting on Easter Sunday. After a wonderful program of drama and song by the church, I was able to present a brief Gospel message. I never get tired of preaching a straight Gospel message and the Lord gave us fruit that morning, for which I'm grateful. Rob Campbell has been blessed by the Lord with a fresh vision for the Lord's work and for the discipling of people. Lynn and I are always refreshed to be with him and his wife, Rochelle.

SUMMER

I say the same thing every year, but it really is true. By the time summer rolls around, I am SO READY to preach at Teen Camps around the country. Then by the time summer is over, I am so ready to get back into church revival meetings. I absolutely love preaching to teenagers that come to the various teen camps around the U.S. I once again was privileged to preach at Camp Joy (Wisconsin), Camp CoBeAc (Michigan), Northland (Wisconsin), The Wilds (NC), The Wilds of New England (New Hampshire) and I even got to preach at a special church camp in Colorado (Highlands Baptist Church). What a great time it was to see the Lord bring people unto Himself for salvation, for cleansing, and for the surrender of people's lives to do whatever He so chooses for them. The room here on my website would not provide enough space to declare all of the stories of changed lives. I never get tired of seeing teenagers get right with the Lord.

FAMILY NEWS

Well in closing, as I often do, I like to place some new picture of our grandkids. Let me just do this: back in the spring of the year, our two oldest granddaughters, Charis & Emily, both graduated from Kindergarten. Here is a picture of Lynn with her two "post-graduate" kindergartners. We love these kids!!!

As always we thank you for your prayers for us. We are off and running with a busy fall season of Church meetings. We want to see the Lord do a mighty work in people's hearts; saving the lost and strengthening the Lord's people. Hope to see many of you along the trail.
