Happy Thanksgiving!
“And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;” I Timothy 1:12. We are humbled that Jesus would give us such a tremendous opportunity to minister to hearts in these last days on the time calendar of God. This fall has been unique and filled with so many memories of souls being saved, new friends, revivals, and being back on the saw dust trail. Allow us to take a moment to share the highlights.
We began this fall season, on the saw dust trail in Statham, GA, with the Ralph Sexton Ministries tent crusade. Beginning set-up on September 9th, and services starting September 19th, through October 7th. (photos) The community choir had 150 people each night and sang with great zeal for the Lord. Bro. Ralph preached with the power of God each night. Over 150 people professed Christ during this meeting with attendance averaging around 2,000 each night. We also had our special youth night with hundreds of young people coming and over 25 being saved in this one service. We would like to give a special thank you to each pastor and church that worked so hard to make this meeting a great success. To God be the glory for all that was accomplished during these few weeks together.
The Christian Youth Fellowship rallies have been such a blessing. The first was a “Back to School Rally” and CYF meeting at New Hope Baptist in Salisbury, NC, with over 600 in attendance, 25 churches present, 8 people saved in the service, and many young people on the altar receiving help from the Lord. Bro. Greg preached a message that night out of Daniel, “When the Party’s Over.” Next, we headed to Stanleytown’s Amazing Grace Baptist on October 22nd (photos). The youth choir sang great and Bro. Greg preached a message on “The Spirit of Rebellion” out of I Samuel which was a heartfelt challenge to each teenager present. 
We were privileged with a special opportunity to host a school crusade at Vandalia Christian School in Greensboro, NC. Each day, October 31st thru November 2nd. (photos) Bro. Greg directed the school youth choir of over 80 teens and brought a youth focused message. God’s presence was felt in a mighty way as over 50 students made professions of faith in Jesus Christ and the entire student body closed the meeting circled around the altar praising the Savior. The final CYF of 2011 will be held at Gloryland Baptist in Lincolnton, NC, on December 3rd. Directions / Flyer
God opened many doors for us to preach across NC, GA, and VA at New Life Baptist, Harvest Baptist Tabernacle, Grace Baptist, Heritage Baptist, Hope Baptist, New Testament Baptist, Victory Baptist, Stanleytown’s Amazing Grace Baptist, Vandalia Baptist, and Sure Foundation Baptist. God blessed in a tremendous way with a few of these revivals being extended as God continued to move. We are truly thankful for the opportunity to preach the Word and give Jesus the praise for every life that was impacted with the Gospel.
The first CYF rallies of 2012 will be held at Shining Light Baptist in Greensboro, NC, on Friday, January 13, and at Pooveys Chapel Baptist in Lenoir, NC, on January 21. Make plans now to be apart of these powerful services.
We are overwhelmed with how the Lord has blessed the new TV program “The Cause.” We are now looking forward to next year with plans of extending the program to a national broadcast each week. As we are making these preparations for next year through the TV and media ministry of GLM, we ask for you to once again consider helping us by joining the “52 Club” which is only 1 dollar a week for 52 weeks. Also please prayerfully consider taking on our TV ministry as a part of your monthly mission’s support or making a onetime love gift to help offset the cost of television. This outreach opportunity can literally reach hundreds of thousands of people each and every week with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
We are excited to announce that we now offer tax deductible charitable gift annuities. A charitable gift annuity provides you with a fixed interest rate and a fixed monthly income for life. The interest rate you qualify for is based upon your age and ranges from 4.8% – 9.8%. We are all living in uncertain economic times with historic low interest rates and a volatile stock market. A charitable gift annuity helps us reach another generation and it may be the investment you’ve been looking for. Please see the our website for more details.
Greg Lentz Ministries is now preparing for the 14th Annual Winter Conference at the beautiful Kingston Plantation in Myrtle Beach, SC, on December 28-31. If your youth group has not registered, there is still time to make plans and be a part of one of the most powerful meetings we conduct all year. Also, we invite families and individuals to come join us for these powerful services that we believe will change lives forever. We ask for prayer warriors to be praying for these services each and every day that God’s power will be presented and that Jesus Christ would be magnified.
Again, thank you for your prayers and support for Greg Lentz Ministries. The hundreds that have accepted Christ this year and the thousands of decisions made for the Lord would not have been possible without you. You have truly helped make a difference in this generation for the cause of Christ. Pray each of you have a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas. We look forward to seeing you at the Winter Conference and throughout 2012!
