DRY PRONG, La. (LBM) – The 30 churches of Big Creek Association have scheduled a joint revival, March 26-29, that they pray will spark a spiritual awakening throughout Grant Parish.
Scheduled at the B22 Auditorium in Dry Prong, the revival will feature messages by evangelist Bill Britt of Haughton and music by Jimmy Crabtree, minister of music at New Prospect Baptist Church, Dry Prong, and other musicians in the association.
Additionally, the Adult and Teen Challenge choir will share testimonies and special music during the March 28 service and a youth night with a pizza supper at 5 p.m. will take place the final night of the revival.
Services are scheduled for 6 p.m. March 26 and 6:30 p.m. March 27-29. A nursery will be provided for those up to four years old at nearby First Baptist Church, Dry Prong.
“I am praying God will revive the hearts and minds of his men and women,” Travis Sanders, association moderator and pastor of Hebron Baptist Church, Dry Prong, told the Baptist Message. “I am praying that He will heal families and give hope to those who are lost and unconcerned.
“Only through our Father’s love can we really accomplish reconciliation spiritually with our Lord and physically with our families,” he continued. “First we must recognize that we do not have all the answers. But if we humble ourselves, pray earnestly and turn from our sin, He is faithful and will answer.”
New Prospect Baptist Pastor Trey Lewis added: “We know Bill Britt is not coming with a magic bullet to bring revival, but we as pastors know what we are supposed to do in our hearts before God. We are praying together and seeking repentance together for ourselves, our families, our churches and our parish so that times of refreshing will come from the Lord.”
