Tabernacle Baptist Church

Lebanon, MO
Pastor Ball

Sunday night, we experienced a service the memory of which will last us a lifetime. The experience was absolutely amazing; the pictures can merely describe it. After having a rough afternoon with a blown tire, God empowered a wonderful service at the Tabernacle Baptist Church. Every Sunday night, this church holds a service for a company of soldiers from the basic training camp. Pastor Ball always gives a salvation message, allows the Holy Spirit to convict hearts, and watches soldiers come to Christ.

Pastor Ball giving the gospel message

Sunday night was incredible. So many of these soldiers had no Bible, had never been in church, nor had ever heard the gospel. We had the privilege to sing some patriotic songs for them as well as a wonderful salvation song. As Pastor Ball gave the gospel message, Christians could sense the Holy Spirit moving. It felt almost tangible. As the Pastor continued down the Romans road, soldiers began weeping, pondering over Christ's sacrifice. When he gave the invitation, a crowd of soldiers went forward. These mere words can not even describe the emotion that flooded our hearts after seeing such a sight.

Dozens raising their hands, confessing their need of Christ

The great response to the gospel

God is real! We saw Him work in this amazing service. He has reminded us that the world is in need of the gospel. He will work, but we must tell.
