80 years of Marriage

Uncle Alvin and Aunt Agnes celebrate 80 years together!

Gospel Bag Tract

I was driving to my mom's house a week or so ago to deliver some bags for one of the revival team when it occurred to me that I need to some how explain what the embroidery design on the gospel bags stands for. I had already written it up on the blog so I thought I would just use that to make a tract to put in each bag. It would present the gospel as well as connect with the logo. Our logo at I Am Able Ministries is "Sharing the Love of Jesus with the World". It took a bit of work but I think the tract does make clear our efforts to share Jesus. Here is a jpg of the front, inside, and back of the card. I used a whole sheet of paper and folded it in half. If you double click on each picture it will enlarge so that you can read it. If you see something that needs correction, please let me know.

My First Mission Trip to Mexico

Randy took his second team to Mexico in August 1998. They went to help Doug Millar in his work in Playa Del Carmen. My mom, Yvonne Stockman, who is the director of Children's Ministry with I Am Able Ministries (and my Mom), presented the gospel to the children. Many children accepted Christ. The Wordless Book was used to share the gospel, as were other materials. Bracelets and tracts using the wordless book colors were used to share the gospel. The message was recorded in Spanish on a cassette tape. We could not speak the language but God worked it out so that the Gospel message was heard even though there were no interpreters. Once the workers there heard the message, they could present it in their own words effectively.

You can see what the Wordless Book and Bracelet is all about by going to Child Evangelism Fellowship's web site. The gospel message of the 'Wordless Book' and bracelets have become effective witnessing tools. This methods crosses language barriers and makes the gospel easy to understand.

I have been sitting with Jackie's mother at the hospital. She had a stroke about 2 months ago. Recovery was slow but she was getting there until she fell and broke her hip 2 weeks ago and had surgery 3 days later. Her blood pressure would not come up and during caring for her they discovered a bleeding ulcer in her stomach. Once they corrected that problem, her blood pressure stabilized. In the mean time, they flooded her weak heart with fluid and she still has more fluid than she can get rid of. Anyway, her mind is not so good since all this has happened. Sometimes she recognizes us and sometimes she doesn't.

Yesterday one of the nurses asked her name and she said "Victory in Jesus". My point is that even as ill as she is, Jesus is using her to witness of His place in her life. The nurses said "Amen, sister!" It was very special to witness that. She is able to share Jesus even in her condition. Those of us who don't have such obstacles should take heart and not let anything keep us from sharing Jesus with the world we live in.

The Gospel Bag

As I was working on these bags for our upcoming mission trip, I realized that this design came from the Lord. It actually tells the gospel. God gave Randy this design. I understand why now. I will try to explain what I see in it. The wordless book concept falls right into line with the logo.

The GOLD color reminds me of a very special place, heaven. Heaven is a place of incredible beauty where there's a street made of pure gold that's clear like glass! In fact, there is a whole city of gold! On the light house, it represents the light that a sailor sees when he is coming in from sea. He looks for the light so that he can make it in safely. A lost person looks for that light (Jesus) that shines through you and me. Like the light from a candle in the dark, we can lead a person to the light, to Jesus.

Jesus is preparing His children a place in heaven. John 14:2

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.

No man comes to the Father (heaven) except through Him.

John 14:6

The DARK cross in this design makes me think of the sin that Jesus died for, my sin, your sin. He took on the sin of the whole wide world and the sin that I hide in heart.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Romans 3:23

The RED heart reminded me of the life-blood that Jesus shed for my salvation. Accepting Jesus into my heart washes away that sin.

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become

children of God, to those who believe in His name.

John 1:12

The WHITE around the cross represents the sin that is covered by the blood of Jesus.

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

1 John 1:7

Jesus loves me in WHITE makes me realize that after I accept Jesus, He will do His wonderful work in my life. I will be as white as pure snow because my sins are washed away. He did it all because "Jesus loves me."

For God so loved the world (me), that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him (Jesus) should not perish but have everlasting life.

John 3:16

The GREEN lighthouse represents Jesus as He is revealed by the Child of God who has the light of Jesus shining through them. Green represents in the wordless book growth. Part of growth is sharing Jesus with our friends, our family, and our world.

We are the light of the world. Matthew 4:14 We are to let our light (Jesus) shine and not hide it under a bushel, but put it on a lamp stand (light house)for all to see. Matthew 4:21

We use the wordless book in our ministry. It is one of the best tools to reach children and adults alike. It provides an easy way to present the gospel and bring people to saving knowledge of Jesus.

If you would like to use my embroidery design to make bags like these, I'd love to share it with you. I can also give you the information on how I made the bags. It's really not hard at all. I'm going to call it the Gospel Bag. Email me for the embroidery design at sparker@iamable.info at no charge. Also, I have made a pdf file for a card to put in the bag that presents the gospel using the colors of the embroidered logo and wordless book.

Jesus Loves Me

Today I started working on bags for our mission trip to New Mexico for the kids to put their stuff in that we are going to give them during our time with them. Hopefully we will have a good group and be able to plant some seeds, water some seeds and bring in the harvest.

I digitized something similar to our logo but without the world. I just couldn't get the world to work out in the design. I am using denim for the bags and I have some bright variegated red, green, yellow thread that I will use to do the top stitching. I also used the "Wordless Book" colors. How cool is that? I'll get you a picture soon, you know I like pictures.

Watch out for Mr. Gene!

Jackie is working hard to get the foundation work done for the slab at Red Oak, OK in July 2008. This is one of the pieces of equipment that he operated.

Watch out for Mr. Gene, tho. He still can get out of the way pretty quickly. Go Mr. Gene!!!!

Mr. Gene Winegeart is a VIP with I Am Able Ministries. He is one of the older men that volunteers but he doesn't let age or aching bones stop him. He can keep up with any man on the team.

This picture was taken September 7, 2004 at Pine Hill Baptist Church.In this picture he's the one putting shingles on the outhouse while Randy stabilizes the ladder.
He worked hard and still had energy to lead praise and worship at a revival service at the end of the day. He also knows what to do when you come to a fork in the road. Just ask him, he'll tell you. We have enjoyed working with Mr Gene and look forward to future assignments with him.

Movie Link "We Shall Remain"

I was looking for something on LPB and stumbled upon the movie series "We Shall Remain". From the award-winning PBS series American Experience comes
We Shall Remain, a provocative multi-media project that establishes Native history as an essential part of American history

You can watch the entire movie on line or download it to i-tunes for a small cost or purchase the DVD. Watch it online first. I'd like to hear your comments on it.

How to Make Fried Bread

I did a search on my desktop for all my videos and this one was among them. I forgot that I had it. The sound is kinda of raspy but it is clear enough to understand. Three teams from Louisiana's I Am Able Ministries was in New Mexico. We were staying at the Dome, Christ for all Nations. A local Native American lady taught Evelyn and Juanita how to make the traditional fried bread. Here they are preparing the dough for frying and then frying it up. It is eaten with a toco like meat dish, then topped with lettace, tomato, cheese, sour cream. It is a very satifying. This was in May of 2004, 5 years ago. We were there with teams to do 3 simultaneous revivals. The churches we were working in were Pine Hill, Tinian, and Eagle Springs. We had children's teams working with the children at each church during the rivial meeting time. We also brought supplies to make a couple of outhouses for Pine Hill Baptist Baptist Church. We even got to test them. (But that's for another blog)

Sheet Rock Going Up

Sheetrock looking good ! 8-19-09!
This is the sheetrock going up at Red Oak, OK. Still work to do but it is getting done, praise the LORD!!

Church at HBC

Today we had 14 new converts baptized into our congregation. We had 4 from one family. the mom and dad and two of the 4 children. I've never seen so many baptized at one time. It was moving and really satisfying as a church member to witness such an event. There were several conversions from VBS and several from our revival. God is still moving and calling the lost into the fold.

Bro Jack handled it pretty good. He had all of the candidates except for one in the baptismal at one time. He had them sitting on the steps so they could witness each other's baptism. That was quite a site.

I just ordered Jackie and me some ministry cards. I was really having a hard time picking out something that would work for both of us. I saw this flag and thought about our freedoms that we have in America. We do have the freedom of religion and the freedom of speech. I do believe that our country is based on Christian priniciples and that if we as Christians would do as 2 Choronicles 7:14 says "if My people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." Notice this verse is addressed to us Christians not the lost sinners of our land. It is me and you, the born again, He is talking to. What does that mean? I think it means that I need to confess my sins and seek God's face perhaps by fasting and prayer. Why aren't we doing this as a country? Maybe I Am Able Ministries can help something like this to happen through our outreach to the "Nations".

Letter to Yvonne Stockman re: Leupp, AZ

Sent: Tuesday, August 04, 2009 12:04 PM

Teamwork Is good! Thank goodness each true Believer has a different gift. Christ's Body has more parts than just feet or lips! It takes all of us working together to share the Good News! Your work was essential to our VBS. "One plants, another waters, and God gives the increase!"

We were able to hand out some of the Bibles sent by Bro. John Miller. We left the others at the hotel where we stayed. We talked to one of the clerks, using the witness bracelets for a door opener. I told her we would give her one if she promised to tell someone what it meant. We then explained it to her (using your tract) and asked her to explain it back to us. She told us she was going to give it and the tract to her boyfriend, a 27yr. old who had attended church for the first time with her the previous Sunday, and had accepted the Lord! Turns out, he had never been to church and he told her that no-one had ever invited him to accompany them to Worship either! Hard to believe.

This should really drive home the need for our efforts here in the U.S. Who knows? One of us will share the Gospel of the Kingdom to the last convert of this Gentile Church Age and the last 7 yrs. of "Jacobs trouble will begin!" Why couldn't this witness of the Good News actually happen here in America, the greatest Missionary Society ever?

I'm coming back. It could be soon.
It will be sudden! God."

I got the impression that Native American Southern Baptists think "Anglos" have abandoned them. Our own Indian Brothers and Sisters in Christ are left to wallow in poverty and hopelessness on these reservations. When you drive up to Leupp the first thing you see from miles off is a huge beautiful Mormon temple. We went to a Luepp Baptist Church. It was a beautiful place of Worship because of the believers there, but it was obvious there was little money for upkeep and operations.

Pastor Jimmy McCabe at Leupp told me he has been "praying and waiting for an "Anglo" Pastor to come," since 1985. I think financial support was cut drastically sometime in the past. He said "Anglo pastors" are respected as authority figures and will be followed by multiple families. Clans will not respect another family leaders authority like him. He seemed very discouraged.(Like many of our Anglo Pastors)I don't know enough to talk about this?????
Our group felt a special need to encourage Bro. Jimmy. Our ladies described him as being "very sad". We all need continue to pray for these brave men who lead their congregations. As each LA Church partners with a Native American Church, hopefully we can look thru our spiritual eyes and not with intellectual reason. (Peter, thru faith walked on the water with Jesus). As a man it is easy to find reasons be negative.

Only 18 enrolled in our VBS effort. Four came forward for decisions, not including the two little boys who pointed at their chests and said "Jesus in my heart too!" As a Christian we look thru eyes of faith and see the "Fields are white for harvest"! How shall they hear if no one speaks? To speak someone has to go. Much like the struggling Indian pastors, those willing to go can't finance the effort or do all the material gathering, e-mails and phone-calls. God has shown I Am Able, He will provide if we all make ourselves available as a team and wait for His guidance. When the Holy Spirit leads us to go, just go, He always meets every need. The hard part is to not look at the waves. Pray God will continue to put volunteers and finances together. The door that has opened with the Native Americans is impossible for man to accomplish. "I am able to do all things thru Christ who strengthens me."

I can't wait for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. I can only imagine seeing my loved ones and the believers of all the ages who have faith in our Heavenly Father's Love, Mercy, and Justice. What a motivational truth!-Eternity in My Fathers House!

As one church sign we passed on our way to AZ. said,

"I'm coming back. It could be soon.
It will be sudden! - God."

The hotel clerk told me, that her boyfriend needed the most basic Christian teaching. AZ. D.O.M. Bro. Al Camson voiced the same need. Scriptural teachers. She asked could I imagine having never been taught anything from Scripture? (With the apathy and "form of religion that denies the power" controlling many Baptist Congregations today, a blank slate may actually be a blessing to him.) I gathered the Child Evang. and other materials you had assembled and also gave her one of the (J.M.) Bibles for her boyfriend. They had free newspapers on the front desk and I placed the remaining Bibles with them after asking permission from the manager. I'm sure, God will use them to speak to many.

Bro. Jean Winegeart was approached about buying some jewelry by a young Navaho lady. He told her that he didn't wear bracelets. She asked him, "What's that on your arm?" He grinned and explained the witness bracelet to her. She said she had seen them many years earlier, in a VBS!! We then told her we would give her the bracelet, if she would tell someone else what it meant. She smiled and put it on her arm.

"Divine appointments" or as Bro. Randy says, "Another God Moment!" These diamonds are there, rough and hidden, if we only step outside the comfort zone of our church sanctuaries and daily routines.

As I started this e-mail thanking you, I will conclude with the same. "One plants, another waters, and God gives the increase!"
In His Love,
Bro. Dwayne

Report on Mission Trip to Leupp, AZ

Sunday, August 02, 2009 6:12 PM
We got back around 3:30 am this morning from our V.B.S. in Leupp Az. It was a struggle to get this VBS organized. Everything seemed to oppose our effort to go to Leupp. Amiable Baptist Church graciously sponsored our trip. Bro. Jean Winegeart, Angie Bass, Prent and Kelly Colson and I were joined in AZ by Bro. Tim Himel and his wife Linda. They live near Ragley La.

We had small numbers in attendance (avg. 11), but that did not hinder the Holy Spirit. At the end of our VBS each Christian walked forward to stand, sort of like a wedding rehearsal, slowly, one at a time, and then we invited any new Believers to come forward. Four children came to stand with us at invitation time and prayed the sinners prayer!

The highlight for me came after I had talked to one of our new sisters in Christ and I felt a tug on my pants. A beautiful little boy(4-5yrs?), who had not spoken a word during the three days of VBS (according to Angie Bass) told me, "I want Jesus in my heart." Another little boy about 3 or 4 yrs. old, also pointed at his heart and said "Jesus in my heart too." I assured them he would be their life-long friend and we all left with huge smiles. I am sure our Father will water and increase the seed we left with them. Our love was rewarded with the return of their love! Priceless!!!!!

Needless to say, "We had a great time!" God is so-oooo good!! We learned a lot. If we do another VBS on a reservation, we will try to start at a later time. We were told more children would likely attend if we started about 5:00 pm. At 9am no one in Leupp was stirring around yet. We needed to use the afternoon hours to knock on doors and "drum up" the kids. Linda and Tim Himel are excited to be going back to Leupp Az. in October to follow up and help with the Evang. Meeting. They have talked to Pastor Jimmy McCabe about having a block party. He had never heard of one! Pray that this will be used to reach all those outside the church walls. Their efforts are truly a blessing to us.

Team-work is fun! Bro. Bennie Hollingsworth, Pastor of Hosanna Baptist Ball, La. will be our leader in Eagle Springs N.M. as the S.B.C. La. teams go to do simultaneous revivals with our Native American Brothers and Sisters in New Mexico, Arizona, and now Oklahoma. He has two other preachers going with our team. Bro. Bennie will do the childrens program and the three of us will probably each preach one night of the meeting.

In His Love, Bro. Dwayne.

Donnie & Nancy Daniels

 
Donnie and Nancy are celebrating 50 years of marriage this year. July 17,1959 is their wedding day. Congratulations!
In this picture I guess you can see that they are shelling peas on a electric pea sheller. They are 1st timers and I think they enjoyed it. Hope you have many more great years together.

Turns out Bro Dwayne is quite the fisherman. Great looking catch. Sorry, no details.

LA teams partnering with 35 NM churches

Native Americans in New Mexico

I Am Able Ministries is in the process of facilitating revivals in 35 New Mexico churches. Randy has been working on this all year and it is finally coming to life.
Many more churches are wanting to be involved. That is good because several more states are wanting the same thing. The goal is to bring revival to America through the Native Americans. I don't see, in my limited vision, how this can happen, but God does. We are just to do what he tells us to do and He, in his unlimited power, does the rest. Here is a copy of the article in this week's Baptist Message that tells the story of what is happening. Please be praying for the teams, because as usual, the firey darts are already being fired. We have to wear our shields or be wounded. Prayer keeps those shields stong.

Trey, Corey and Grandpa Willie

It's pretty cool that a couple of high school aged young men want to do more to serve Jesus. Jackie and Donnie met Trey and Corey at Tall Timbers Camp earlier in June this year. They had come to camp with their youth group from Houma, LA. Jackie and Donnie had been asked to help Tall Timbers introduce the kids to missions doing the type of things they were used to doing on mission. They went to a certain area in Alexandria were mostly the elderly and disabled lived. They went door to door asking the homeowners if there was any work or chores that they do for them. Jackie and Donnie assisted with the carpenter and painting needs. It was exciting to see kids really wanting to do the work to help people in need. Some of the kids wanted to do more. Jackie and Donnie told them about our upcoming mission plans in OK. They wanted to go and began trying to talk mom and dad into letting them go. We sent Trey pictures of the work done on previous trips. It seems that God was calling them to help out. Mom and dad wouldn't let the boys drive all the way to OK by themselves so they talked Grandpa Willie(Corey's Gpa) into coming with them. I think he really enjoyed it as much if not more than they did. It was a good trip for him. They had difficulty getting in touch with us because we had already left home when they decided to go. But they got info from Tall Timbers and were able to get phone numbers and directions. I personally am glad they came and I heard Jackie say that the three were a tremendous help. They put up the window trim, batting and the soffit on the cornice. I even caught Gpa Willie with a shovel in his hands. It is kinda funny because he is a retired District Administrator for the Baton Rouge and New Orleans area. There are a few jokes about state workers leaning on a shovel. Well, anyway, he wasn't leaning on the shovel. He was putting dirt back around the foundation. "Just trying to be useful in downtime" was his comment. Many of the IAAM members of the team are retired from the Louisiana Dept of Transportation and Development. On this trip Jackie and Dwayne are both retired from LA Dotd. Lots to talk about on the breaks.



Wednesday night at church, the song leader did not come so the pastor asked for a volunteer to lead singing. Without hesitation Gpa Willie was ready to lead music. He said he had never done anything like that before but always wanted to. He did a great job for a first timer. Another interesting thing was that Corey and Trey requested and received their Choctaw names. Why didn't I think of that?

We couldn't have accomplished our goals if these three volunteers hadn't made the trip to be with us. I hope we see them again in this great work for the Lord. Thanks for your hard work and welcome to the team.

Cedar Baptist Church June 2009

Back Home from Red Oak, Oklahoma

We are home safe and sound. We had a good trip. No major illnesses or injuries. It was very hot as was at home also. The garden suffered a bit from the heat and lack of water but it is ready to harvest. I am having some trouble with my shoulder but it's getting better. I have a slide show ready that will tell the story. Enjoy and post a comment if you like.

Bout to hit the road..

We are doing the final things to get on the road today. I'll blog if I have wifi, but I doubt that I will. In any case I will blog when I get home. We are to be home June 25th or thereabout. Please keep us in your prayers. As with any mission endevour, we face the enemy.

The Garden is coming in!

God said not to worry about the garden, but the cucumbers are getting ready to pick. We had some yesterday and they are so good and sweet. I don't believe I've ever had any so good as these. The garden is so beautiful this year. Very green and growing well. The peas are putting on blooms now and the ocra is looking good. I will be able to restock my pantry and freezer this summer. I want to make some pickles this year as I am almost out.

Leaving the garden for others to care for is one of Jackie's worries that he has had to deal with. Going on a mission trip in the middle of the garden season is hard but we can do it. We will have to leave it up to family to help take care of it while we are gone. Hopefully they will do what needs to be done. We are going to take cucumbers with us on the trip and then when we get back, I'll start collecting for my pickles. How is your garden doing?

Getting Ready to go to OK

Jackie and I are doing what we can to get ready. Jackie is making good progress on getting the camper ready. I made a baking mix to take with us. I was going to make biscuits like my momma was doing but I had a better idea for the trip. My idea doesn't take up freezer room. Anyways, I am washing and trying to get stuff done around here. Trying to sew a few things up, too. Finished a blouse yesterday. Hope to be able to make a few other things.

Cedar Baptist Church

Building on the new sanctuary began late April and is currently underway. For some reason the slab wasn't poured until the Spring of this year. Jackie and Donnie and several other men went to a sawmill in Texas and cut the boards for the frame work from trees that someone donated. They then put them in a kil to dry. I might not be spelling that correctly. When they were dry enough, a guy (one of the Hunt boy's, I think) from Forest Hill took his 18-wheeler and time to deliver these precious gifts to OK to start the work on the sanctuary. Other materials have been donated as the work continues. At this point the roof is on as you will see in the slide show. These pictures are not mine but one of the team member's. They are very good and I think you will enjoy seeing such a great work in progress. Pictures are from April through May, 2009. See slide show.

Responding to the Call to Red Oak, OK

The Lord has been dealing with Jackie and me, to become more involved in mission work. We have been participating on a minimal level since 1998, making a trip at least once a year. I will list all the places we have been with the dates just for our record and may be of interest to others.

Playa Del Carmen, Mexico 1998
North Bend, Oregon 1999
Jackie had a heart attack and open heart surgery 2000
Filipe de Carrillo Puerto, Mexico 2001
Toledo, Oregon 2002
House of Prayer, Cuba, New Mexico 2003
Pine Hill Baptist Church, Cuba, New Mexico 2004, 2005, 2006
Panfork Camp, Texas 2007
Independence, MS 2008
Red Oak, OK 2008
These are trips that I went on. Some of these Jackie did not go on. He has gone many construction trips without me. (But that was before we had a camper-Ha) I did not keep a record of those trips. I'll see if he can remember them and add them to the list accordingly.

We first started working with Randy Carruth on a trip to Mexico. It was great. God is really using Randy in a great way. We had several people from our church go with us and I got to go with my mom and see her in action. It was Randy's 2cd mission trip. Randy is the director of I Am Able Ministries. Take a look at this website for more detailed information and pictures of work being done.

My mother has been a big influence in getting Jackie and I involved in this ministry. She has a burden for the children and teaches using Child Evangelism Fellowship methods and materials. I have received training from Ken and Lynn Bigalow and my mother through the years. Ken and Lynn were the state CEF directors for many years and held weekly training classes that I attended. The work in Mexico went well because we focused on the children and with them came the adults.

Yesterday, we were planning on going on vacation for our own pleasure until we got a call to go back to Oklahoma to help finish a new santuary for the Choctaw people, Cedar Baptist Church.That's where we want to go anyway. We had planned a trip in May, but Jackie was knocked off his feet with a heart arrythmia. He is up and going now and feels God calling him to work in OK. Our friend and mission's co-worker called and said hey, we are going to OK instead of AL. That's ok with us. So now we are getting ready for a trip to OK. We went last year and did several things. I will put up a slide show of that trip to give you an idea of what we are doing. This was our first trip the Red Oak, OK. The foundation for the slab was finished, VBS was successful, and also held a revival at night. Our church, Holloway had 9 people serve. There were teams from 3 other churches there. It was quiet a large group of folks. July 14-18 2008

Our camping volunteer missionary buddies are Donnie and Nancy Daniels. We are both taking our campers to the church site. Our last visit Jackie and I stayed at a camp with our team because there were so many of us but it was really hard on us to travel and work. The camp was about 30 miles from the church through hilly roads. Thank God for the camper that we can use this time around. Donnie and Nancy got to use their camper on this trip.
Jackie is working hard now to get the camper ready while I mess with the computer. He told me to do some of this and some of this is my idea. But things are popping. I got 2 job assignments today without much difficulty. One is to get some business cards for I Am Able and the other is to check out screen print tee-shirts. so I'm glad to be working again on some projects for I Am Able. I was the secretary for a while but I was too far from Randy to be able to help him do the everyday stuff. Evelyn Wells is now serving that role.
