Campmeeting Days!

People's Baptist Church in Greenville, NC is pastored by Max Barton. He has quite a tenure as the pastor of the church as well as a nationally known preacher. He has some good men on staff with him as well as a good reputation in the area. In addition to his church attendance being in the 500's or so, he also has a Christian school. During the whole month of July, the church moved their Wednesday night service to Thursday night. They called this special time campmeeting days and invited in the following 4 different men to preach: Pastor Scott Caudill, Pastor Johnny Pope, Evangelist Raymond Hancock, and Pastor Joe Arthur. Grace and I were able to attend two of the four evenings and had a good time visiting with Scott Caudill. We were able to meet him and buy two of his music cd's he had for sale. In addition, we were able to also visit with Dr. Johnny Pope. I had been to his church previously and knew of him quite well. Grace had the privilege of meeting both men for the first time. My dad used to go to Dr. Pope's church in Houston, TX when he was in business for himself. It was a blessing to get to see him and hear him preach. He always presents a message that is thought provoking and intelligent not to mention animated. I thank the Lord for all three men of God that we were able to talk with and know: Pastor Barton, Pastor Pope, and Pastor Caudill.
