Thank you God......

We praise God for the kids choir we've had this Christmas and for the wonderful couple on the left who have recently joined our church.  They have brought piano music, a true desire to worship and serve the Lord, as well as a great spirit!  They have been a great encouragement to this pastor and our whole Church!  Praise God!  Glory I'm Saved!!!!!!!

What a God......

In spite of poor weather last night (freezing rain) we had a great candlelight service.  We had a great turnout including two visitors and I had the opportunity to preach the gospel as clearly as possible to some folks that need to be saved.  No one responded last night however I see a softening in there faces and pray that they are moving in the right direction towards trusting Christ as there Saviour!!!!!!!  Tonight we go caroling and plan to have some homemade cookies and cocoa after.  We are looking forward to this evening and pray that it goes well!  If I don't post again for a few days have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!  Glory I'm Saved!!!!!!!

Big night......

It is unbelievable how busy this time of year can be.  Lately, we have been running, running, and running....  Tonight we have our candlelight service and are praying very hard as we will have several visitors.  I know that several of them are undsaved and I am praying that as they hear the Gospel tonight they will recieve Christ as there Saviour!!!!!!!  Please pray with me that this will be the case and that God would show up tonight in great power and glory!  Glory I'm Saved!!!!!!!

What a day.........

Yesterday my brother Brandon who has been called to preach and is training in our church, our Deacon David, Pastor Mike Britt, the assistant Pastor at Church Hill Baptist Church, my beautiful amazing wife Erika, and I went to Calvary Baptist Church for a preachers fellowship.  It was a great blessing!  Pastor Cal Fuller preached an amazing challenge from God's Word and a little later Pastor Faulk preached another great message from the Blessed Book!  There were some wonderful specials from the school kids and the singing was exceptional!  There was a wonderful spirit in the services and God truly blessed and moved in great power!  I left the meetings encouraged and challenged to stay the course, to not give satan an inch, stick to the basics, and be more zealous in soul winning!  After the meeting we went next door to the school building for some amazing food!  My brother and I had Baptist Prime Rib(ribeye steak) and chicken.  The other folks with us had steak and Lobstah!  Here is a picture of Brother Mike getting ready to enjoy some real Maine Lobstah!!!  We had so much fun yesterday thank you to Pastor Bell and CBC and of course thank you to our Amazing God for all He has done!  It is such a blessing to have Godly men in the ministry to help and challenge a young preacher!  Glory I'm Saved!!!!!!!

Praise God, for answered Prayers...

It has been just over three years since we started Bible Baptist Church.  After three years of singing acappela and praying for God to bring a piano player to BBC, He has answered that prayer!!!  A young couple with many talents from our sending church has decided to come join BBC and serve the Lord here. What an amazing God we serve.  We have had opportunity to lower our music standards, to have other instruments that would have given a contemporary feel, and several other potential options.  Praise God that we have had a supportive, patient, and faithful church family that have loved the old hymns as much as I do, even singing them acapella!  We are so thankful that God blesses faithfulness and obedience.  GLORY I'M SAVED!!!!!!!

God is SOOOO GOOOOD!

We have been praying for God to provide through faith promise missions enough funds to take on two missionaries in the next several months.  We took two weeks to collect the commitment cards. I am pleased to say that God exceeded my expectation and prayers by providing the money to support 4 missionaries!  Wow, what a God!!!!!!!  I announced this exciting news on Sunday and the folks at our Church are very excited!  Praise God!  He is soooo gooood!  GLORY I'M SAVED!!!!!!!

Why I've decided to blog......

My name is Nathan Pelkey, I'm the pastor of Bible Baptist Church in Unity, ME.  I have been battling with the idea of having a blog for some time.  I have thought about doing it and just when I'm on the brink of starting one I decide I just don't have the time.  However, I've decided that because we serve such a wonderful God who blesses us in such magnificent ways this would give me an outlet to share all that God is doing in our Church and our lives! 

My wife and I moved to Unity almost 3 years ago and started Bible Baptist Church in our home.  We started with 10 people and have grown slowly and surely ever since.  We have seen several people saved and we have seen people grow deeper in God's Word and in there relationship with Him!  In the last 6 weeks we have appointed our first Deacon, gone to faith promise missions, and after 3 years of singing accapella we now FINALLY have a piano player, woohoo, Praise God!!!

God has been so good and we do not deserve His love but I'm sure glad for it!  I praise Him everyday for His grace and mercy, I know He doesn't need me but, I'm sure glad He wants me!!!!  I will share more about what is going on in Unity and our vision in the future :-) GLORY I'M SAVED!!!!!!
