Special Forces Updates

Pastor Dana Cline and I were hall leaders in the same dormitory at our Christian college. I always love being with my classmates who are faithfully serving the Lord. His assistant, Josh Sexton, is the son of another classmate, Doug Sexton. Wow! Time flies! The Lord worked and although it was a battle (like it is every week), there were … Read More

Beth Haven Baptist Church is like going home! We had the privilege of going there first in the 2000s. I believe we have returned every three years. I have also had the privilege of preaching several revival meetings there. The folks there are like church family. Pastor Kevin Crowell is doing a great job. The church is full Sunday morning … Read More

About 15 years ago, the War of Special Forces team came to Juniata Baptist Church and Christian School. I remember the prayer meeting where the Lord did meet with the team as we prayed. On Friday night after the testimony service, a senior young man called for a spontaneous prayer meeting around the campfire. That prayer meeting went for about … Read More

The team has been to Calvary Baptist Church in Midland, MI several times over the years. Both Mark Dickerson, the assistant pastor, and Dave Warren, the high school principal, have been at other churches where the War of Special Forces was conducted. I always love working with these men. The Lord gave us a good week. We were grateful for … Read More

Three years ago, the War of Special Forces came to Bay City Baptist Church and School for the first time. This year, the spirit picked up where we left off last time! Several of the students remembered the War of Special Forces, and there were many new students as well. There are some good athletes in this school, so there … Read More

The second week of the tour, we were at Mississippi Valley Christian School in Alton, IL. The church, Faith Baptist Church, is a few miles away in Godfrey, IL. I believe the last time the team was here was in 2004. The campus for the school is an old military academy, giving the feel of a walk back in history. … Read More

For years I have heard of Oakwood Baptist Church in Anderson, SC, but have never visited there. This was the first time the War of Special Forces had the privilege of coming to Oakwood Baptist Church. The team arrived on Sunday afternoon, and we really enjoyed the Sunday evening service. The auditorium was full and there was a great spirit. … Read More

Pastor Jason Betts, the youth pastor at Wilton Baptist Church, was a Christian school student in Easley, SC years ago. It was a joy to work with him at a church and school at which we have never been before. We were encouraged with what the Lord is doing there in upstate New York. We enjoyed working as well with … Read More

The team has had the privilege of being at New Life Baptist Church in Clinton, NC. It was great to be with Pastor Page again. Several times we have been in the area in the fall right when the cotton was about to be harvested. For all of us northerners, we were amazed by seeing a field that looks like … Read More

It was good to be back at Trinity Christian School. As always it was great to be with Pastor Ken Cash. I am always encouraged when I am around him. Years ago our team was with him when he was a youth pastor in Kinston, NC. This year he told me about the aftermath of that meeting. I was stunned … Read More
