Good News Chapel - Dozier, Alabama
I was a guest of the Good News Chapel this weekend. My friend and former pastor, "Step" Martin asked the pastor to invite me and we were there for their a. m. worship service, a grand July 4 Celebration and ended the day with some music and another message by Bro. "Step".
The Good News Chapel is pastored by Bro. Jay Driver. Jay grew up in the community, has two brothers who are in the church, and his Dad is the music leader. It is just amazing how God is using this young man to reach the area for Christ.
The Good New Chapel sponsors a camp for teenagers. This year there were more than 400 in attendance. They are involved in a drug rehab program that brings in many to the church during the year. He is teaching a marriage seminar during their Sunday School. I believe there were 8 or 10 couples in that class. Aside from that he and his wife, Robin, have 8 children--Jordan, Brittany, J. D., Kayla, Benjamin, Andrew, Jedidiah, and Liberty. This week Robin will give birth to their 9th child-a boy! Pray for her - this is a high risk birth - God will take care of her and the precious baby.
Rarely, if ever, have I seen a church functioning more like a New Testament Church. There was a unity among the age groups, and a healty group of every age group. We watched them worship together and play together. Young pastors who are seeking to build healthy, balanced churches would do well to study the life and methods of Pastor Jay Driver. I can put you in touch.
Ann and I are driving to Hokes Bluff, AL tomorrow. We will spend a couple of days with our Alabama children and then Sunday through Wednesday I will be ministering at the Agape Baptist Church in Scottsboro, Al. We have a full summer -- I am praying for God to fill our open dates for the fall and then 2007.
In HIS love,
