Christway Church, I don’t think I have ever seen so much orange? Well, maybe on opening day of rifle deer season on Clear Creek WMA? Ha! I know we have over  a hundred  children that attend Christway Church each week. But to see so many of them show up in their orange parade shirts to [...]

It has been a few weeks since I last posted a blog. So I got lots of catching up to do! Let’s see, on September 19th we had a great turnout for our New Comers ‘Meet the Preach’ dinner. It is great to see the Lord continuing to grow Christway Church of DeRidder by leaps [...]

This past weekend Josh and Krystal tied the knot. This young couple looked great as they exchanged vows before God and man. Going into this God given covenant that says they will love each other until death do they part! They chose a very nice place in Iota, Louisiana. It was a beautiful garden and [...]

It was a beautiful clear day, and even for September here in Louisiana the air was very cool and crisp. Me and several men were working around the church. My pager buzzed, and it was Sandy. I walked inside and gave her a call. She told me that a plane had crashed into one of [...]

B S is the only way I know how to start this blog. Do I have a  Bull Story for you! JT Reeves loves to crawl up on the backs of 2000 pound bulls. He has been a cowboy since birth and has ridden more bulls than most of us have seen. The crazy thing [...]

Man, I give God praise for this day. This is the day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it! I was glad when they said unto me, “Let us go into the house of the Lord!” This Sunday at Christway Church I was GLAD to be there. After [...]

After third service today we had close to fifty men from Christway Church hit the road headed southwest. The CWC men were invited to attend a two-day men’s conference. The Little Country Church (which is not small at all) of New Caney, Texas, have been our guest at our last two men’s retreats. Lots of [...]

Our tenth anniversary was a tremendous success!  Everything was spot on. Brother Dale Yerton preached a couple of great messages that challenged Christway Church to new levels. Pastor Dino Rizzo batted clean up on Wednesday night and hit a home run! As Pastor Dino Rizzo shared the history of Healing Place Church in Baton Rouge [...]

Dale Yerton brought the heat tonight at Christway Church of Deridder. I can honestly say that his sermon was so good that it could be in my top ten list of the best sermons I have ever heard. If for some reason, you were not able to attend Tuesday night’s service, you need to put [...]

Talk about bringing a word from God! Brother Dale Yerton preached like a man on fire tonight. It is easy to see why he is one of the most sought after speakers, not only in America, but the world. Talk about favor, that’s what we have here at Christway Church, to have a man of [...]

Faithful Journey did not disappoint. They ushered in the presence of God through the gift of praise and worship that the good Lord has placed upon them. The anointing was strong at Christway Church, and I could not have been more pleased with the job that Faithful Journey did for CWC.  Don’t miss out on [...]

Monday night we are gonna get our praise on!  We have a music group called Faithful Journey coming to Christway Church. This praise and worship team can Bring IT! I have a couple of their CDs, and their sound is first class. I so look forward to hearing them live and can hardly wait for [...]

I am looking forward to seeing Brother Dale Yerton today. It’s been about a year since I last saw him, and even though we speak on the phone often, it’s gonna be nice to sit down and have a meal together. The last time he was at Christway Church here in DeRidder, he preached all [...]

Well, we got our Tenth Anniversary Celebration kicked off today!  We had lots and lots of folks pass through Christway Church. Good food and great fellowship was the order of the day. We had some really cool bikes and muscle cars to check out too.  The kids had a blast inside the sanctuary. Two big [...]

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) [...]
