Praise Report - Bellshire

Dear Brother McKinley,

I wanted to take the time to write to you about the continued
blessings that the Lord is pouring out upon Bellshire. You may recall
that I wrote to you last week about Bell South's willingness to repair
our driveways at the church. As of November 6, 2006 both driveways are
repaired at no cost to the church. Praise the Lord!

We also recently had our Kingdom Celebration with Keith Street
Ministries and Pastor John A. Stone here at Bellshire. Let me just say
that the Lord was in the house. We were so richly revived, renewed
restored, and regenerated. The worship was extreme and powerful.

Thepreaching and training was anointed of God. And the people of Keith
Street were excellent.

The highlight of our weekend was on Saturday night. One of our
members steeped forward to stand in prayer for his friend who was in
a coma at Vanderbilt and the family was going to remove life support the
next day. Josh stood in for his friend and we prayed the prayer of
faith. Not just some fleeting prayer though. We touched heaven that
night. The very next day we were told that Josh's friend came out of
his comma the very moment we prayed and even tried to communicate with
his family by squeezing their hands when asked a question. If that
doesn't make you shout then nothing will!

Another wonderful blessing that we have had lately is that we have
been doing some needed repairs on our heating and air. We were able to
get a bid that allowed us to replace 12 tons of heating and air for
less than $9000. We have recently been told by the installer that we
are going to be able to save an addition $700. Praise the Lord again.

But the most significant blessing that we have received lately is
the salvation of a soul. Yes were a experiencing the start of a great
awakening and revival at Bellshire. The dry bones are coming to life.
Please continue to pray for us here. We are excited, expectant, and
extremely ready for a great inflow of souls.

Please post this on the state website BLOG so we can share what God
is doing here with the rest of the state.

In His Service,
Shannon W. Bowdoin
Senior Pastor
Nashville Bellshire COGOP

Prayer Request

Yesterday and today have been filled with non-stop preparations and meetings for the General Assembly. The State/National Overseers will be traveling to begin meeting this week in Nashville. Will you please join me in prayer for travel mercies for all of those on their way to Nashville? Also, Sister Wilma Massengale is still in Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. This precious lady and her family need our prayer support, and I hope you will join me in prayer for them, believing the Lord is able to meet their need.

Death Notice - Clara McMahan

I AM SHARING A NOTICE I JUST RECEIVED FROM PASTOR TERRY BARNWELL (KNOXVILLE- ARROWHEAD) Hi Brother; I pray your day is going along well. I wanted to let you know of the passing of Sister Clara McMahan this morning. Her husband Claude has served as deacon for over 52 years at the Arrowhead church. This wonderful lady has touched thousands of lives across Tennessee. She is the sister of Charlie Weaver. The day you and Sister McKinley were with us on the Home Coming Sunday if you remember the youth presented this couple with a light house they had built for them. Sister Clara will be greatly missed greatly. I will let you know the arrangements when I get them if you wished to attend the services. If your schedule will not permit I understand, but I just wanted you to know. Love you and have a blessed day; Bro. Terry
