My Last Blog Post

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Brown) — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 05:48:00 +0000

Google has decided to stop supporting FTP for their blogger. I depend on FTP to publish my blog. I have read their migration procedure and I do not understand it. I have read the forum where lots of other people do not understand it either. I really hate to stop blogging because of some corporate decision that I have no control of. I have already spent way to much time trying to find a way to continue my blog and I just don't have the time keep on trying to figure the process out.

I have not missed a day blogging something since I started in June of 2004 but I guess this is the end of my blogging days.

Arrival - Greater Rhode Island Baptist Temple

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Brown) — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 04:21:00 +0000

We started our journey last Wednesday afternoon. We have done nothing but drive and sleep a little. We made it to Johnston, Rhode Island this evening a little after 5:00 p.m. The church is allowing us to stay in their very nice Prophet's Chamber. This makes it very handy for our work these next few days here at the church.

A Very Long Day of Driving

We drove all day long on our trip to Rhode Island. We made it to Carlisle, PA well after midnight. We need to make it to our our final destination in Johnson, Rhode Island by tomorrow night.

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Brown) — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 05:20:00 +0000

This morning's session concluded the National BEAMS Conference. My brother David was here and he helped me break down all the equipment and load it into our van. We left Gulfport, Mississippi about 5:30 p.m. We headed toward Rhode Island for our next meeting and made it to Montgomery, Alabama.

A Very Long Wonderful Day

The BEAMS staff invited everybody over to the BEAMS Warehouse for a Gospel Singing and Fish Fry this afternoon. The singing was great and we throughly injoyed the Fish Fry.

Dr. Tom Wallace - Fantastic

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Brown) — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:50:00 +0000

I don't think I have ever heard Dr. Tom Wallace preach before today. I not only got to hear him but we heard him twice and I was able to video him both times. He is 80 years old and a fantastic preacher. His messages today blessed my soul. I hope to have the messages archived very soon. Maybe even tonight sometime. These would be great messages to watch on SteveBrownMinistries.com.

Ready to Broadcast

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Brown) — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 05:15:00 +0000

We spent the day setting up at Faith Baptist Church in Gulfport, Mississippi. I believe we are ready to broadcast the live video stream starting in the morning. It was a big relief that they allowed me set up down on the main floor instead of the balcony. Setting up on the balcony would require me to make 100's of trips up and down the stairs running cables. I just was not up to doing that.

Unloaded At Faith Baptist

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Brown) — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 05:25:00 +0000

We were able to unload our equipment and start setting up at Faith Baptist Church here in Gulfport, Mississippi. We are getting ready for the National BEAMS Conference starting Monday.

Arrived in Gulfport, Mississippi

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Brown) — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 05:57:00 +0000

We left the house about 2:30 p.m. this evening but we did not get out of Little Rock until about 5:30 p.m. We arrived in Gulfport, Mississippi a little after midnight and got checked in.

Sore Throat and Coughing

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Brown) — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 01:43:00 +0000

I seem to have come down with a sore throat and I am coughing. I don't feel very good this evening.

Disappointed

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Brown) — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 06:18:00 +0000

We voted on a new pastor tonight at our church. We just knew in our heart that Paul Davis would be our next pastor but he did not get the vote. We have now been about 9 months without a pastor. I am afraid things are falling appart at our church. I am still trusting God in this matter but am wondering what this means to our church.

Home Safe and Sound from Calhoun, Georgia

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Brown) — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 05:05:00 +0000

Praise the Lord! We made it home safe once more. It seems like the truck traffic between Little Rock and Memphis gets worse everytime we make the trip. Seems like all those trucks should be on a train. Glad to be home again.

We Made It To Birmingham, Alabama

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Brown) — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 05:52:00 +0000

We got away from Calhoun, Georgia a little after noon today and headed over to the JVC Repair Center a little east of Atlanta to drop off our professional DVD recorder that has not been working correctly. We made it to Birmingham, Alabama before we bedded down for the night. We hope to make it home sometime tomorrow night.

Final Day at The Jubilee on the Hill

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Brown) — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 05:51:00 +0000

This morning was our final service for the 2010 Jubilee on the Hill at Philadelphia Baptist Church in Calhoun, Georgia. Today was Christian School Day and the there were 5 Christian Schools present. The building was packed out. And I do mean PACKED out. I thought the message at the end by Evangelist Dean Neese was outstanding.

Mary and I spent the evening until after 10:00 p.m. packing and loading our equipment. I did have some help at the very end when I needed it the most to load the tubs into the van. Thank you Aaron for your help.

The Inman Family

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Brown) — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 05:55:00 +0000

We sure have enjoyed the Inman Family this week. I think they are somewhat Amish in the way they live. They have got to be the closet knit family I have ever saw. The whole family sings and plays music instruments. I love listen to their music. They are a very sweet family.

A Shout'n Good Time Tonight

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Brown) — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 05:05:00 +0000

The message titled, "Whom Say Ye That I Am?", by Evangelist Randy Bane caused a lot of shouting in the service tonight. This has got to be one of the best Jubilees/Campmeetings in America. We have really enjoyed the services here at Philadelphia Baptist Church in Calhoun, Georgia. There is such a good spirit here. I sure hope we get to come back next year.

Mega Lunch

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Brown) — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 05:04:00 +0000

We enjoyed a great second day of the Jubilee on the Hill at Philadelphia Baptist Church in Calhoun, Georgia. The food here is out of sight. And the desserts are to die for. I just can't believe how much food these folks make available to us. We're loving it.

A Great Valentine's Day

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Brown) — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 05:02:00 +0000

We enjoyed a fantastic first day for the "Jubilee on the Hill" at Philadelphia Baptist Church in Calhoun, Georgia. The building was packed out tonight. What an exciting church. I am so glad we got to be here again this year.

A Great Day Setting Up At Philadelphia Baptist

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Brown) — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 05:44:00 +0000

I am worn out but we had a great day setting up at Philadelphia Baptist Church in Calhoun, Georgia. We woke up to a blanket of snow on the ground but most of it melted off the roads this afternoon. That's the kind of snow I like.

Driving All Night In The Snow

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Brown) — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 05:54:00 +0000

A little after midnight this morning I looked at the Weather Bug and saw and band of snow across the three states that we had to cross to get to our next meeting in Calhoun, Georgia. We deciced that we better load our stuff and head to Georgia. It took us until 2:00 a.m. to get loaded and get the house back to the way we found it when we arrived in Bogalusa. We drove through some pretty nasty snow in Mississippi and Alabama. We saw lots of wrecks. There was one Fedex tractor trailor off out in the bushes. We made it to Philadelphia Baptist Church in Calhoun, Georgia about noon and went to bed for a few hours. It started snowing in Calhoun just after we arrived. I am so glad we drove through the night and did not wait until this morning to make the trip.

Our Last Night in Bogalusa, Louisiana

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Brown) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 05:50:00 +0000

Pastor Jamesa Lyle called a long time Pastor friend, Bro. Billy Ray Bond from Perkingston, Mississippi to come finish up our week of revival meetings. Bro. Billy Ray preached a wonderful message tonight titled, "Are You Still Praying?". Some of the church folks helped us pack and load our equipment in the rain after church.

Lost Our Evangelist

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Brown) — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 05:46:00 +0000

Our evangelist, Bro. Duane Moore called this evening and said he was sick and heading back to his home in Georgia. He said he was have chest pains. Pastor James Lyle preached the evening message.
