Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,

I just want to share with the great news of my Dad and Mom's salvation yesterday morning. My Dad called me after church {where he had been attending with my 2 brothers and their families, and my sister and her family) and he said “Benny I stepped out and mommy almost knocked me down getting to the altar.”

He and momma had been in church 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Thank you for all your prayers on their behalf. Its been 10 years of praying, begging, preaching, fasting, and loving… BUT GOD!

CrossPointe in Suffolk

I want to thank all of you for your prayers, emails, phone calls, etc during this difficult time. We are so thankful to the Lord for what He has done. We will not soon forget Monday afternoon at around 4:15 when me and my three oldest kids pulled up to our house knowing the weather was serious and hearing Charity run out the front door screaming for us to get inside and to the downstairs bathroom. My heart began pounding hard as I looked out the back door and saw a 1/4 - 1/2 mile wide tornado coming straight at us. I immediately ran into the bathroom where the Charity and the kids were and we all six got into our shower and began praying to our best friend, the Lord Jesus Christ. His presence was so real as the tornado ripped through our neighborhood. I am so thankful that not only is His presence with us during those diffucult times but His presence is with us ALL the time. He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Thanks for your prayers as we minister to many, many families. Charity and I have already made several contacts and have several prospects for CrossPointe Church. Over 115 homes in my neighborhood of Hillpoint Farms have now been condemned. It is devastating to see the damage. The pictures on TV has not done it justice to seeing all of the damage firsthand.
Many people have asked how you can help. We have set us a disaster relief fund through VA state missions. We have put all of the information on our website's home page. Click on "Help us rebuild Suffolk". We will also have updates this weekend on our website with pictures and a video. Please pass our website address and the information to all that you know. Continue to pray because the Lord is opening doors for us. Our website address is www.crosspointesuffolk.com .

Thanks again for your prayers and your support.
