Stonewall to hold community-wide evangelistic campaign
STONEWALL — Stonewall will hold a community-wide evangelistic campaign beginning Sunday, Oct. 4. The campaign seeks to reach out to those in the community who have no church affiliation and those who are searching for answers to life’s struggles.
The campaign begins with a community picnic at the Family Park on Main Street on Sunday at 5:30 p.m., followed by singing and preaching. Then, breaking with usual tradition, the Monday meeting will take place at Free Will Baptist Church, Tuesday at the First Baptist Church, and Wednesday at the Assembly of God, each at 6:30 p.m.
Richard Dickerson, pastor at Stonewall First Baptist Church, and Wilma Ledbetter, pastor at the Stonewall Assembly of God, said they are looking forward to the event and expecting a great movement of the Lord through the meetings.
“We want the community to know that we are more interested in helping them develop a relationship with Christ than trying to plant them into a specific church congregation. Christ will lead them to the place He wants them,” said Dennis Heath, pastor of Stonewall Free Will Baptist Church.
Evangelist Connie Cariker will be preaching Sunday through Tuesday, and evangelist Tom Hall of Ada will preach Wednesday.
Cariker has been a pastor for many years and has served as executive director of the Oklahoma State Association of Free Will Baptists and director of evangelism and church growth of the National Home Missions Department. He is now serving as a full-time evangelist. Cariker and his wife, Flo, live in Tulsa.
Hall has pastored for 30 years with his most recent pastorates at Faith Assembly and the Tabernacle of Praise in Ada. He is currently serving as the director for the World Missions Department of the Full Gospel Evangelistic Association headquartered at Tulsa, Oklahoma. Hall was born at Monticello, Utah, and raised at Dove Creek, Colorado, and his wife, Laurie, is a Kansas native. The Halls make their home at Ada.
