Check out these prizes that Christway Church has provided for the Muscle Car Sunday.   We are gonna have  the folks vote to make the difficult choice for the best car and bike. Get up off the couch and bring the kids out for a great fun filled day at Christway Church. Starts at ten n [...]

I don’t even know where to start when it comes to Pastor Dino Rizzo.  This man of God, who founded Healing Place Church in Baton Rouge, is a man on fire for God! Healing Place Church is one of, if not the, fastest growing churches in America. They have 8000 people  attend their Sunday morning [...]

For all the older or more mature kids at heart that come and hang out at Christway Church’s Muscle Car Sunday. We are gonna have the new youth building’s AC kicking on high so you will have a place to go rest and cool off from the heat and visit. But for all you ladies, [...]

I am suffering from something called burnout. But it’s not what you think. It’s a lack of burnout that this old country boy is suffering from! I was thinking of the last muscle car event we had here at Christway Church. We had a burnout competition as the last event of the day. Tire smoke [...]

Christway Church of DeRidder is pulling out all the stops for the kids who attend Muscle Car Sunday. We are gonna have lots of games and fun things to do. We are gonna clear out the Sanctuary and put up the big air jumpers and games inside. We decided to buy our own jumpers a [...]

A couple of years ago, I traveled with Dale Yerton on a missions trip to southern Mexico.  I flew from Houston, Texas into Mexico City where I met up with Brother Dale. We hopped on another plane and went south to Chiaphas, Mexico. I have never even heard of this place. A small town in [...]

We are blessed to have Brother Dale Yerton speak at Christway Church here in DeRidder. Brother Dale Yerton will be bringing the heat to CWC  Monday, August 30th and Tuesday, August 31st at 7pm on both nights. Dale Yerton is a Globe Trotter! I’m not talking about the guys who play basketball either. Brother Dale [...]

This past sunday was CRAZY!  I am amazed at the ability of Christway Church folks to keep a secret. During the second service, after an awesome time of Praise and Worship, Bro Vic was doing announcements, and then, he said the men of the CWC had somthing to talk to me about??  Then to my [...]

I can hardly wait! We are going to get some great word from some great men of God next week. Christway church will kick off four days of celebration and thanks to our Lord and King next Sunday. Muscle Car Sunday will start at ten in the morning and end around two. Gonna be lots [...]

Sandy and I find ourselves in Shreveport this morning. We got up early and made a cruz up here. We are at St. Mary’s hospital. But it’s not a bad thing this time! Chris and Kim are having a new baby. We are so happy for them. It never ceases to amaze me how God’s [...]

Sandy and I are sitting in the surgery waiting area at Lake Charles Memorial hospital this morning. Big James is having his knee operated on. He’s a big dude, so he’s gotta have good legs to get around. Anyhow, I’m looking at the vending machines, and I am sure that the Twix candy  is singin [...]

I know that without a doubt, prayer is the key that unlocks the door to our  personal destiny. Which is such a cool thing, knowing what Jesus wants you to do with your life. But prayer is like the Master key! I have a master key that will open every exterior door of my home. [...]

Time flies when you are having fun. It hard to believe that ten years ago Sandy and I jumped head first into the unknown. Jesus waved to us and said, “Get out of the boat and walk on water”. Not literally walk on water of course (although that would be a dang cool thing to [...]

Soon and very soon we are going to see the King! Remember that old song?  It was and is a keeper. But in the mean time we are to be about the Father’s business. Doing and being what He has commanded us to do. That means WORK. But it’s an awesome thing to be a [...]

It’s been one of those months!  It seems like every time I look up some one has passed away. It is always a sad thing to say good bye to a loved one. If they are twenty of even a hundred years old it still hurts. I do not know how many funerals I have [...]

It was great to have part of our family in from Covington, Virginia. Sandy’s sister Marg and her family. Unfortunately for me, it’s been a very busy week so I didn’t get to hang around and visit much. I have been working on the last few details, and of course, paperwork (always lots of paperwork) [...]

Our new youth building (multi purpose building) is almost finished! It brings Sandy and me great joy to be involved in building stuff that will help Christway Church add to the body of Christ. It’s a very large building, and I have total confidence in Larry and Kacy and their God given abilities as youth [...]

I can not tell you how many calls and comments I have received about our recent men’s event. It was a great night in Christ, and all who attended were well pleased. So many Christway men worked very hard to make the night an astounding success! The food was excellent. Bro. Vic and his cooking [...]

I don’t know if you have ever seen any of the cakes that Mary Cross makes. They often depict a certain nature scene or really, anything you want it to look like. She made a cake for the Big Hairy Men’s Event that was very cool. It looked like a duck blind complete with a [...]

My Bride and Emily took me on a trip to the Harley Davidson shop in Lake Charles the other day. I can’t ride my Harley yet, but I sure do like to hear it rumble. We had a great time looking at all the bikes. Of course, my girls didn’t mind taking a look at [...]

What an awesome night we had here at Christway Church. Over 300 men attended our Big Hairy Men’s event! We were blessed to have Jase Robertson as our main speaker. He gave a great word about being a Real Man of God. Jase is a well known member of the Duck Commander crew. The Duck [...]

Today after church, most of our folks who will be working at kids camp all this week moved into Ingallwood Park. We had our camp leaders’ meetings and prepared for the rush of CWC children in the morning! We had a great supper and fellowship. We did find one snake in the kitchen, but I [...]

It was awesome to see another person give their life to Jesus today! We were blessed to baptize two last week also. There is no way to put a price on something that is eternal. All the hard work is so worth one soul. But the good Lord continues to work at Christway Church here [...]

CWC  recently had  graduation services for our seniors. Christway Academy here in DeRidder continues to send young men and young women out into the world fully equipped to be world changers. I am very pleased with all of these guys and gals and am very optimistic about the future. My son, Noah, was one of [...]

The Lord spoke to my heart a few weeks ago that things were going to speed up. God has sent us a wave of momentum, and we need to ride the wave.  Things that once took CWC three years will now  gonna take three months. Things that once  took CWC three months will now  take [...]

Man, I love to see our dreams and visions come to pass!  We started erecting walls on the new Youth Building today.  Lots of guys stood up walls, and the nail guns and hammers were singing with a wonderful voice that only a carpenter would love. Hey, wasn’t Jesus a carpenter? Of course He was, [...]

Sandy and I was in a Doctors office a few days ago. He had a skeleton arm in there. It was pretty cool. I decided to have a little fun with it. I was using it to grab Sandy and takin some pictures. When the Doc came in he didn’t find it very amusing but [...]

I would like to introduce the newest member of my clan! Elizabeth Rain is my new and first grand baby. When I saw her, it was love at first sight. She is strong and healthy, and of course, she looks just like me! How incredible it is that even in a hard world such as [...]

You just gotta love planting time. We enjoy this time of year as a family. We get out in the dirt and sow our seeds and then see what comes up. When I was a kid I loved playing in the dirt, and I guess I never outgrew it. Noah and Em really had to [...]

As I watch the news this morning my heart breaks for the families of the West Virginia coal miners who lost their lives last night. We have all lost loved ones before and know how hard it is. I pray that Jesus will comfort these folks in only the way He can. Lord, we ask [...]
