Israel Tour 2024!

/Dr. Joshua K. Smith/Leave a comment

Are you interested in touring the Holy Land? Then make plans to join Pastor Josh and Pastor Jared on a once in a lifetime trip to Israel in 2024. The dates for this (ten day) trip have been set for March 2nd-11th. On Saturday, March 2nd we will board a direct flight from Atlanta to Tel Aviv, Israel. Once we land the Bible will begin to come to life as we explore the sites and sacred spaces of Scripture. The cost for this trip is $4,000 per person which includes roundtrip airfare, lodging (double occupancy), site tickets, breakfast and supper (you will pay for your own lunch). In addition, Israel does require travelers to purchase a travel insurance policy from the company of your choosing which will vary based upon your age. You will find the trip itinerary, terms & conditions, and the commitment contract in the attachments below. Please feel free to email us if you have any questions!

Let’s get ready for Revival!!

Let’s get ready for Revival!!

Yes, we are less than a week away from our revival services with evangelist Rick Coram! In addition, we are looking forward to hosting the music ministries of some of our sister churches in the area during each evening service.  On Sunday night the choir from Oak Grove Baptist Church in Corbin Kentucky will be with us.  Then on Monday night we will host the choir from Turkey Creek Baptist followed by Beacon Baptist Church in our Tuesday evening service. Then we will conclude the services Wednesday night with the choir from Swan Pond Baptist Church as our guests.

With that said I want to ask you to make a twofold commitment. First, I want you to commit to praying for these revival services. In the remaining days leading up to our services please pray for God to impact all of our lives in a way that will forver change how we love, live for, and serve the Lord.  As you pray remember to pray for our evangelist and the choirs who will join us each night. Second, I want to ask you to commit to attending each service (Sunday-Wednesday). Yes, I know we are all busy but this will be time well spent. Therefore, like my own family, there will be weekly activities, practices, etc that will have to be missed or rescheduled in order for us all to position ourselves to hear from the Lord. Again the date of our revival is September 2nd -5th. Thank you in advance for your willingness to honor these two commitments.

In Christ,

Pastor Josh

The Countdown to Revival 2018! — June 26, 2018

The Countdown to Revival 2018!

/Dr. Joshua K. Smith/1 Comment

Starting Sunday, September 2nd-5th, 2018 East Barbourville Baptist Church will host Evangelist Rick Coram for revival services.  Bro. Rick resides in Jacksonville Florida where he is a member of the North Jacksonville Baptist Church.  As you know revival meetings are rare these days yet Bro. Rick has been serving as a full-time evangelist since 1988 holding at least 45 revival/crusade meetings a year in churches and venues of all sizes.

With that said I am confident that we are going to hear some great preaching in each and every service!  However, I’m praying that the 2nd-5th proves to be more than just that.  I’m praying for each one of us to have a divine encounter with God that dramatically impacts the way that we love, live for, and serve the Lord.  Yes, I know how busy we all are but please set aside these dates to ensure that you will be able to attend all of these services.  In doing so you will have positioned yourself and those that you hopefully bring with you to hear from the Lord.  Thank you in advance for your faithfulness in praying for and participating in these revival services!
