Read Behold the City!
|
 |
|
I was encouraged that Pastor Chris Anderson wrote about my book, Behold the City in his blog, "Mission Books that Will Mess With Your Mind." If you have not read either Behold the City or Living on the Edge of Eternity, I pray you will buy, read, and enjoy them!

Happiness is For YOU!
Psalm 1 
|
|
|
The Book of Psalms presents happiness or blessedness in its highest degree and purest form. The Hebrew hymnbook begins with an exceedingly expressive word: BLESSED, or HAPPY! This implies a plurality of blessedness, for the word, "blessed" is a PLURAL, and so it emphasizes, "OH, What blessednesses are heaped up one upon the other upon the man who delights in God's Word!"

LISTEN!
To the Message,
"Broken Hearted Prayer for a Broken Nation"
|
|
With a broken heart for his broken nation, Daniel asks God to shine on the ASHES of the desolate temple, that HE would revive the ruins and the rubble and restore it as a place of praise!

NYC Recker Report
God's Provision, Pastor Vaughn, Russian Orphans, and More!
November 1, 2011
|
| Dear Keystone Baptist Church,
God has provided a new place for us to meet on Sunday, beginning on November 6th! We will have a better meeting place at 127 E. 22nd Street & Lexington Avenue, with more room to grow, so on NOVEMBER 6, let's pray for a great service, filled with God's presence and power! Our last service at 55 E. 25th Street, where we have met since 2007, was on October 30.
We praise God for this specific answer to prayer as truly God heard the prayers of many!
Sunday November 6th will be our VICTORY SERVICE, so please PRAY for many to come, invite others, and that we have over 200 attend!! That is what I am praying for! Join me and pray for God to revive us and use us to reach many souls for Christ.
Pray also for our Heritage Discipleship Institute, as this semester we have classes in The Book of Revelation (7:00 pm) and Personal Evangelism (8:00 pm). We have a record attendance for our Revelation class, about 22 students, and a number of these are new attendees of our church, too. After the class, I often go to a diner to fellowship with some of the men, and this way we get to know one another and see God's working in our lives. Pray for some of these new students: Raul, Henry, Alberto and Berris. Each has particular challenges in their lives and although you do not know them, you can be assured that God does and He will hear your prayers on their behalf, that they stand strong in the grace of Jesus Christ and become mighty disciples for Him!
Sincerely in Christ,
Matthew Recker

Pastor John Vaughn Visits HBC
|
|
|
|
|
Pastor John Vaughn was our guest to our Prayer Fellowship on October 19 and to the Heritage of Faith program Sunday October 23. Chris Maltman and Jeff Profet were our "Barnabas and Epaphroditus" as they provided encouragement and excellent labor in call screening and speaking with callers. Listeners asked great questions and it was a joy having Pastor Vaughn's experience and wisdom to answer each question Biblically. Afterwards Bro. Vaughn treated us to White Castle and he was happy as it brought back childhood memories for him!

Winter Boots for Russian Orphans!
|
 |
| Vitaly with Russian Orphans |
It is so incredibly satisfying to see tangible result from our giving, and here is such an example, as our Russian missionary, Vitaly bought 56 pairs of winter boots for the Russian orphans. Our church gave a special offering over $1,000.00 and we are so grateful for Vitaly being an incredible channel of our gifts! Continue to pray for God's grace, salvation and strength to these precious young people!
