Special Forces Updates

It has been a few years since we have had the privilege of being at New Life Baptist Church in Clinton, North Carolina. It was great to be with Pastor Page, his wife, and the good people there again! We were thrilled this year with great attendance. There were around 30 salvation/assurance decisions. God worked in many hearts and lives, … Read More

The team enjoyed being back at Calvary Christian School in Greer. I am not sure where all the teens come from, but the last two times we have been here the crowds have been above what we were expecting. In 2021 we had a high night of 107.  This time, we had a high night of 127, which was a … Read More

A few years ago I had the privilege of speaking on a Sunday at West Orlando Baptist Church in Ocoee, FL. Recently Pastor Barnett asked our team to come and do a youth outreach there. It was their Missions month, so the emphasis for our week was on the mission field of young people. We were thrilled with the number … Read More

For several years now, the War of Special Forces team has had the privilege of coming to Faith Baptist Church and Deltona Christian School every two years.

Our team has had the privilege of being at Tabernacle Baptist Church and Heritage Prep many times. We appreciate Pastor Ware and his son in law, Markus Secrist.

From the time we arrived, we knew it was a … Read More

In 2007, our team came to West Gate Baptist Church in Tampa, FL for the first time. I am pretty sure we have been back every two years since then. We have come to love the folks there. Pastor Pirt is a good preacher, and I am excited about where he is leading the church. Pastor Muriel and his wife … Read More

Over the years I have had the privilege to labor at Providence Baptist Church and Christian School. I believe this time was the fourth pastor with whom I have labored. We have always loved coming to Providence, and this time was no exception. It was great to get to know Pastor Mark Duff. I so appreciated his heart and vision … Read More

In the late 1990s, our team conducted the War of Special Forces at a Christian school in Cramerton, NC. In that school was a young man who is now the principal at Lewisburg Baptist Academy. He was spiritually impacted by that week back in the 90s. He invited the team to his school where he now is principal. We were … Read More

Some schools have grown as a result of the COVID issues. Frederick Christian Academy is one of those. We come here on a regular basis, and it was good to be back with Pastor Kent Ramler (who grew up at my home church where my dad pastored) and Mr. David Lavoie, the principal. We appreciate their heart for the Lord … Read More
