Friday, 10/17/25, Went to the service, Group picture outside of every here still outside by Bell Tower that CMA took, Went to lunch at Papa’s, went on ride on 379, Went up the Taemena Scenic drive, back to service

 Bill took a selfie of us...Deb, Cindy, Kathy, me, Bev.  Guys behind us...Lew, Dan, Jeff and Ron

Someone offered to take our group (those that we could find) picture.  Paul came just intake to get in the picture.

Deb, Dan, Bill, me and Jim. Drove up to show them the Talimena drive and Queen Wilhemena Lodge as this is their first time to Arkansas

We met the guy next to Bill when he offered to take our picture.  He was from Australia, but moved here to go to Bible School in Memphis.  The guy next to him went to Bible School with him.  We got to talk to them a lot about the Lord and invited them to the Rally.

Beautiful mountains in the background

 

We met Charlie at the top of the mountain.  He is a CMA member from Canada.  

He goes to each city he’s in and prays for it and then blows the Shofar.  It was such a blessing to hear him.

He also played Amazing Grace on the trumpet for us. So awesome!

I made pancakes and sausage for breakfast this morning. Then we all walked down and went to the morning service.  We stopped and talked to Gail.  They put new tires on their fifth wheel before they came and one has a bulge in it.  They have been here for a month volunteering.  Jerry did an awesome job leading us in worship again. I’ve never seen anyone as anointed lead worship and bring in the Presence of God so powerfully.  So thankful.  We listened to more International CMA leaders speak.  We heard from Africa, Luxembourg, Bulgaria, India, and Canada.  So touching to see how God is moving in other countries, and how much more difficult it is to witness in some countries.  So thankful for humble leaders who love Jesus and want to tell others even in hard circumstances. 

We met friends Bev, Ron, Sharon, Bob, Dan, Deb, Bev, and Jim at Papa’s Mexican Restaurant.  Then Jim took Bev back to their camper, Russ and Tom met us in the parking lot and Jim came back.  We all rode on our favorite curvy and hilly 9 mile road.  Everyone loved it.  We stopped for gas at Walmart and Russ saw a nail in his tire.  Jim said he had missed a board and the bike behind him hit it.  It was a new tire, so Russ called and they ended up going to a Harley Dealership 1 1/2 hours away to get a replacement, so the got their things from their hotel and decided to head home afterwards.  We led Dan, Deb and Jim up the Talimena Scenic Drive because it’s their first time here.  We met some interesting people who are in the pictures and video above.  God is so good!  We went to Cruisers and had banana splits afterwards.  We were still full from lunch so didn’t want to eat a meal.

We relaxed in our camper for a while, then went to the evening service.  Awesome worship once again, awesome prayer, awesome message and most of all an awesome God.

we worship.  After service we talked to people and bought a couple Worship CD’s of Jerry’s and then Bill had to talk to Paul, so I walked back to the camper and ended up walking with a CMA member from Arkansas, Tonya, who was such a blessing to talk to and get to know a little bit.  Ziggy came back, then a few minutes later Bill came back to the camper.  We talked for a while then it was 10:30 decided it was time to go to bed.
