Selfless and obediant to God’s calling, approximately 1/3 of The Revolutions congregation uprooted themselves at a time which is reserved for family and headed north. December 26th, the team parted from their warm homes and families embrace to head north into the bone chilling cold and uncertainty. God doing what he always does, took these moments and used it for His own glory. Below are some of those moments captured on film.
Due to the circumstances surrounding Hurricane Sandy, we feel we are being led to postpone our mission trip to the Philippines, and focus on helping our fellow citizens in need in the New York / New Jersey area. As of right now, the plan is to leave the day after Christmas and return the 1st of January.
Please start praying and watch how God works in and around The Revolution as we help others in need during this holiday season. More information will follow as the time gets closer. Feel free to contact any of the leadership team, or comment on this post for updates.
As you all know, God has been keeping his watchful eye over the doctors who have replaced both of Terry’s lungs and also over his healing process. The begining stages of transforming Terry’s house to make it suitable for his new lungs is well underway.
This Saturday starts the demo process. Come on out and take out some of this weeks fustrations.

More summer activities are on tap for The Revolution. July 25th we have bowling scheduled (parents can come too), followed by a belly flop contest at the pastors house! Who says church can’t be fun?!?
On of our own, Terry Durham is in a bad way. He has recently been diagnosed with a rare disease that will ultimately result in a double lung transplant. As you can imagine, the medical bills will be astronomical. What’s more, his home will need a complete make-over and sterilization to help eliminate any potential outside complications during the recovery process.
Through the years Terry has selflessly served God by serving others. Its time for us to reciprocate those actions. With that being said, The Revolution has teamed up with Freedom Biker Church and Ray Price Harley Davidson to raise money for Terry. Come on out and show your support!
The Revolution is kicking things off right for the summer! Pizza, crafts and water games… What else could a kid want? Come on out and make a few new friends. Oh, and bring your parents out too!
Revolutionaries, we need about 5 people to commit to helping us this Saturday. We are going to meet Bill Morris @10am in the KFC parking lot in Garner at the hwy 70/401 split. We are going to help Bill with clean up at a camp he has been working with, and then drive back to where we had our cookout a few weeks ago and hike back in the woods to see where they have moved their camp. Re-connect, and find out any new needs they may have and then come up with a plan on how to meet those needs.
It’s once again time to get up and out of the house and bask in each others fellowship. Comon out enjoy great company, and great food all the while reflecting on one of Gods greatest creations… Wayne Carroll.
Like snakes? How about gators? Bring the entire family on out to Crock’s house of reptiles on Saturday June 2 for for an afternoon of reptiles, great food and fellowship. All proceeds from this event will go towards our mission trip to the Phillippeans coming up this November.

I really don’t know where to start. I have been in church all my life. At around the age of eleven, I was baptized, thinking that I knew what it meant. Over the next several years, though, I did things my way not God’s way. At the age of seventeen I was pregnant with my first child. By God’s grace, I married Mike, the baby’s father and four years later we were blessed with our second child.
We have been together now for over 25 years. Even after being blessed with Mike, a wonderful husband, and two healthy children, there was still something missing in my life. It wasn’t until March of 2010 that I started to realize what was missing. God asked my husband and me to do something I did not want to do, and I ran from God. God asked us to become foster parents and to help kids who are in need of love and stability. I told Him, “NO, I Ain’t Doing This!” but God said, “We’ll see about that”.
After seven months of running I realized that for all those years I had only had “head knowledge” about God. I knew about Him but really did not “know” Him. I had to get God from my head to my heart. Eighteen inches. In doing this I knew God would rock my world. On October 6, 2010, I asked Jesus into my heart; and I was baptized at The Revolution on December 11, 2010, this time really knowing what it means. Since that time God has shown me that with Him, I can do things I never thought I could do. You guessed it, Mike and I are foster parents today and God is blessing me through this. He has shown me that when I let Him have control, He will use it for my good. God blessed me even when I was running from Him, but life is so much better when He is in control. Life is not always easy, but He never promised it would be. He did promise us that He will never leave us or forsake us.
If you are one of those people like me, stop running; let God in; life will never be the same. That 18-inch journey from your head to your heart can be a long journey, but it is well worth it. Won’t you let Jesus into your heart and life today?
Philippians 4:13- “I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me”!
