A Spiritual Legacy-from shoe store to shoe boxes
When Edward Kimball walked into Samuel Holton’s shoe store on April 21,1855, he probably never imagined his visit would begin a spiritual legacy. The story is evidence that God uses ordinary people who are willing to be used for His glory.
Kimball, a Sunday school teacher of the Congregational Church Boston, Mass, was there to see Dwight, a fellow who attended his weekly class. The eighteen year old young man worked behind the counter in his uncle‘s store.
Kimball recalled the encounter later. “I was determined to speak to Dwight about Christ and about his soul. When I was nearly there, I began to wonder whether I should to go in during business hours. I thought my call might embarrass the boy, and that when I went away the other clerks would ask who I was, and taunt him with my efforts in trying to make him a good boy”.
Kimball passed the shoe store once, then determined to make a dash for it, and have it over at once. Dwight was in the back part of the building wrapping up shoes. Mr. Kimball put

Kimball passed the shoe store once, then determined to make a dash for it, and have it over at once. Dwight was in the back part of the building wrapping up shoes. Mr. Kimball put his hand on the young man’s shoulder. Kimball made, what he felt afterwards, was a very weak plea for Christ. “I don't know just what words I used, nor could Mr. Moody tell. I simply told him of Christ's love for him, and the love Christ wanted in return.“ That day in the stockroom, Dwight Lyman Moody gave his life to Christ.
D.L. Moody became one of the greatest evangelists of all time. He preached the gospel of Christ in many countries. Forty years afterwards, when preaching in Boston, Mr. Moody described the effect of his conversion upon his life. “I wish I could do something to lead some of you young men to that same God.”
In 1872, while preaching in London, Moody met Frederick Brotherton Meyer, pastor of Priory Street Baptist Church in York. F.B Meyer was impacted by the American evangelist Dwight L. Moody, and introduced him to other churches in England. The two preachers became lifelong friends, conducting several evangelistic meetings on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
In Chicago, F. B. Meyer met a young man, John Wilbur Chapman, and quickly became his friend and mentor. As an evangelist, Chapman held several meetings in the city of Chicago.One evening in the Fall of 1886, Billy Sunday, a young baseball player, along with five friends, sat on a corner heckling Salvation Army workers, who were having a street meeting with the help of J. Wilbur Chapman. As Billy Sunday heard the singing, and the Christian testimonies, he became convinced that he was lost and on his way to Hell. That night he went to the Pacific Garden Rescue Mission and trusted Jesus Christ as his Savior.
Later Sunday had held an evangelistic campaign in Charlotte in 1924, resulting in the formation of the Charlotte Businessmen's Club. This group invited Mordecai Ham, a young evangelistic to preach in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1934.
One evening, during the eleven week evangelistic campaign, Billy Graham, an eighteen year old farm boy responded to Ham’s message to confess his sin, and to trust in Jesus Christ for forgiveness and salvation. Today, Billy Graham, as an evangelist is best known for his worldwide evangelistic crusades, as he holds the distinction of preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to more people than anyone in history.
Today, this spiritual legacy continues in the lives and ministries of Billy Graham’s sons and daughters. They each have chosen to dedicate themselves to sharing their faith in Jesus Christ and His gospel. A message and life passed on to each through the example and prayers of parents-Billy and Ruth Graham.
Their eldest son, Franklin Graham (William Franklin Graham III), after youthful years of carousing, school expulsions and rebellion, in 1974, committed his life to Christ on his knees at age 22, reading the Gospel of John from Bible, while alone in a hotel room in Jerusalem.
Franklin Graham Festivals are presented in countries around the world. Graham emphasizes the need for sinners to repent, and the uniqueness of Christianity as the only true religion.
Today, Franklin Graham wears many hats-husband, father, and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, and Samaritan’s Purse.
Samaritan’s Purse is a world-wide Christian relief organization. Operation Christmas Child is the largest outreach program of the ministry. Since 1993, over 69 million gift-filled shoe boxes have been donated, and distributed to children sharing God’s love in desperate situations in over 100 countries around the globe.
Let this spiritual legacy and the message of Christ continue with you. Prepare a shoe box filled with gifts for ages 2-14 yrs. Collection dates are Nov. 16-22. 10 am -2pm. Community Baptist Church 598 Round-Up Ave. Red Bluff 530-527-4203

October 2009 and beyond.......
I am looking forward to the remaining months of 2009, and into next year. There are many activities to be involved in, and contribute to, from now to the end of the year, especially during our Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations. There are a variety of happenings to mention.
But first, I want to share that my family and I spent our Labor Day weekend at Joshua Fest, an annual three-day Christian music festival at the Plumas District Fairground in Quincy. After a one year hiatus, the festival returned this year better than ever. Let it be known, far and wide, that Joshua Fest is on for next year! I encourage all youth leaders to make plans to take a bunch of kids to the event next year. Visit http://www.joshuafest.net/
I am pleased to say that our fair city of Red Bluff was well represented at the music festival by several dedicated volunteers. Rick and Melanie Lytle arrived in Quincy early in the week to help with set up for the event. Throughout the festival, the couple assisted in the management of the AIR1.com Main Stage. They moved sound equipment, and handled many last minute details for a smooth transition between music groups. After the last band performed late on the final night, Rick and Melanie helped with the “tear down”. Working through the night, into the next day, the Lytles were among the last to leave the grounds.
Matt and Tonya Tatro, Rich and Gretchen Davidson, Larry and Chaunda Jensen were among a group of 15 volunteers from Bethel Assembly of God who served with the “around the clock” security team. Many thanks to all who gave of their time to serve at this wonderful event.-Joshua Fest’09
The memories of the festival are still fresh in my mind. I think of the Biblical patriarch-Joshua. Who, at a crossroad in his life and culture, he determined, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!” (Joshua 24:15) May that be my resolve and yours, in all the decisions we make.
We are now in October, with less than three months until we start writing 2010 to indicate the current year. If you’re like me, you’re asking, “Where did the days go?”.
October has been designated “Pastor Appreciation Month”. I hope each church congregation will honor their pastor in some way, during this month, and during the other 11 months of the year. Please include your pastor’s family in all the celebration. Cook their favorite meal, buy that thing everyone knows they need, landscape their yard, or have their vehicles serviced. Be creative in your blessing to each of them.
If your church, or one you frequently visit, is planning a kid’s ministry activity for Oct. 31st, as a safe alternative to neighborhood “trick or treat” tours through the busy streets-
please support the ministry activity. Don’t wait to be asked-jump in to volunteer, especially, if you’re taking your kids there. Be part of the event’s success. Prepare a snack, roam the parking lot, help with clean-up, etc.
If you love to sing, you can join the Masterworks chorale, and orchestra lead by Pastor Mark Franklin. The chorale is open to all singers in high school and beyond. Auditions are not required to join the other 60-plus voices in song. Weekly rehearsals are Monday, 6:45-8:30 p.m. at the Red Bluff Presbyterian Church at Hickory and Jefferson Streets.
The chorale has a concert coming up Sunday, November 8th at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church. They will perform the Solemn Mass in A by Cesar Franck.
In December, the chorale and orchestra will present the ‘Messiah” by George F. Handel. at the First Church of God, This annual performance is a local Christmas tradition Jackson and Luther Rd. Be there, to stand and sing, “Hallelujah!“
At some date, before the end of the year, the Masterworks Chorale will be singing in the vespers chapel at the New Clairvaux Abby in Vina. (The chapel acoustics are incredible!)
November 16-23, is shoe box Collections Week for the Operation Christmas Child project of Samaritan’s Purse. Our local drop-off location will be Community Baptist Church at 598 Round-Up Ave. Red Bluff. Pam Price is the collection coordinator. For information as to how to prepare a shoe box gift visit http://www.samaritanspurse.org/
Make plans now to be a bell ringer for the Salvation Army in December. Call Major Frank Severs, and fill his food pantry to the brim. 527-8530 Donate coats, and other items for “Recycle the Warmth” hosted by Bethel Assembly in partnership with the Salvation Army.
Looking on to March 2010, New Hope Foursquare Church will present the Brickyard Creek Christian Film Festival. The purpose will be to provide a unique venue for viewing short films produced by Christian filmmakers. More information is posted at

Please include your pastor’s family in all the celebration. Cook their favorite meal, buy that thing everyone knows they need, landscape their yard, or have their vehicles serviced. Be creative in your blessing to each of them.
If your church, or one you frequently visit, is planning a kid’s ministry activity for Oct. 31st, as a safe alternative to neighborhood “trick or treat” tours through the busy streets-
please support the ministry activity. Don’t wait to be asked-jump in to volunteer, especially, if you’re taking your kids there. Be part of the event’s success. Prepare a snack, roam the parking lot, help with clean-up, etc.
If you love to sing, you can join the Masterworks chorale, and orchestra lead by Pastor Mark Franklin. The chorale is open to all singers in high school and beyond. Auditions are not required to join the other 60-plus voices in song. Weekly rehearsals are Monday, 6:45-8:30 p.m. at the Red Bluff Presbyterian Church at Hickory and Jefferson Streets.
The chorale has a concert coming up Sunday, November 8th at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church. They will perform the Solemn Mass in A by Cesar Franck.
In December, the chorale and orchestra will present the ‘Messiah” by George F. Handel. at the First Church of God, This annual performance is a local Christmas tradition Jackson and Luther Rd. Be there, to stand and sing, “Hallelujah!“
At some date, before the end of the year, the Masterworks Chorale will be singing in the vespers chapel at the New Clairvaux Abby in Vina. (The chapel acoustics are incredible!)
November 16-23, is shoe box Collections Week for the Operation Christmas Child project of Samaritan’s Purse. Our local drop-off location will be Community Baptist Church at 598 Round-Up Ave. Red Bluff. Pam Price is the collection coordinator. For information as to how to prepare a shoe box gift visit http://www.samaritanspurse.org/
Make plans now to be a bell ringer for the Salvation Army in December. Call Major Frank Severs, and fill his food pantry to the brim. 527-8530 Donate coats, and other items for “Recycle the Warmth” hosted by Bethel Assembly in partnership with the Salvation Army.
Looking on to March 2010, New Hope Foursquare Church will present the Brickyard Creek Christian Film Festival. The purpose will be to provide a unique venue for viewing short films produced by Christian filmmakers. More information is posted at

Update-Brickyard Creek Christian Film Festival
Today has been an exciting day. I received a favorable reply from BIOLA University in LA (Bible Institute Of Los Angeles). March 20, 2010, I hope to feature many films produced by BIOLA students at the first annual Brickyard Creek Christian film festival. I have seen the trailers from a couple of films produced in BIOLA students-we are in for a terrific weekend of film viewing.
My hope is that others will be encouraged to produce quality Christian films. Hallelujah !!
