The Park Ridge Baptist Church is doing a splendid work hosting the Winter Conference. Ben Glover is the newly-appointed pastor of this church, although he has been a member and served them for several years prior to now.
The theme of the Conference is "GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE" and HE certainly has...for which we are glad and praise Him.
Last night, we heard messages from God's Word delivered by David Pitman, pastor of Addyston Baptist Church, Addyston OH and Evangelist Bob Jones. Brother Pitman preached from Mark 9.1-4: AND THEY WERE TALKING WITH JESUS. They weren't talking about all the things we probably would want to talk about. They were learning from Jesus about His EXODUS [death and victorious ascension] He would accomplish at Jerusalem. This is what we should be talking about.
Brother Jones preached from Proverbs 14.4 and exhorted us to employ all the MEANS [oxen] in the work of the Lord if we expect to see any INCREASE and growth.
This morning [Tuesday] we heard two more messages by Missionary-Pastor Harold Draper and Pastor Darrell Messer. Brother Draper preached from Acts 14 to reinforce Christ's PURPOSE, PLAN, and PROGRESS for CHURCH-PLANTING MISSIONS IN THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD.
Brother Messer preached from Psalm 145 and thrilled us with his recounting of THE GREATNESS OF THE GOD WHO DOES GREAT THINGS - and THE GREATNESS OF THE PRAISE WE SHOULD GIVE HIM.
The members of the church are serving us all royally with their welcome, hospitality, and meals. We bless God for them all.
TUESDAY NIGHT
Two more stirring messages from God's Word through His servants. Pastor Cecil Fayard preached from Mark 2.1-12: WANTED, STRETCHER-BEARERS. Jesus Christ is the Healer, but we must be the concerned witnesses who bring our lost friends to Jesus Christ.
Pastor Glenn Archer preached from Acts 13.38 and other Scriptures concerning MANIFOLD JUSTIFICATION. He gave us a thrilling, all-too-brief summary of how God justifies believers through Jesus Christ.
WEDNESDAY MORNING
Pastor George Sledd preached from Jeremiah 33.1-3: CALLING ON GOD FOR GREAT THINGS. Only God can do the GREAT THINGS we need to have done for us - and He does them when WE CALL ON HIM.
Pastor Millard Mitchell preached from Philippians 3.12-14: THE IMPORTANCE OF SETTING GOALS. We should still EXPECT GREAT THINGS FROM GOD.
I closed out the Missions Conference services this evening with a message from Luke 15.11-24: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF GRACE...AND THEREFORE, OF GOD. God, Himself, is this father, who is running to receive and restore us through redemption and reconciliation. God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself - and has committed this same message and ministry of reconciliation to us, His churches. We are pleading in Christ's stead: "RETURN TO GOD...BE RECONCILED TO GOD."
Once again, we thank the Park Ridge Baptist Church for their abundant generosity and extravagant hospitality given to us by their hosting this Conference.

PASTOR LOUIE CARVER / HEART ATTACK
TUESDAY / 9 February 2010
Elton Dunbar sent this post to Ronnie Wolfe, who, in turn, disseminated it. Grace and thanks to all of you who are concerned and participating in this reporting.
"Bro. Ronnie:
I spoke with Sister Mary this evening [Monday] about 7:15 at which time she told me that Bro. Louie came home from the hospital today. He is doing well, but having some difficulty with his speech and trying to say what he wants. He will be taking speech therapy for this.
Let us continue to remember both of them in prayer.
Sincerely, Elton"
MONDAY / 8 February 2010
Bob Jones called me this morning. He had talked with Becky Carver. Pastor Carver is still in the hospital, but has been transferred from ICU to a private room. We praise God for this improvement. He does not appear to be suffering from any paralysis from the stroke, but he is still mentally confused and disoriented and his speech is still somewhat slurred. He is struggling with articulating and verbalizing his thoughts and with word retrieval. Please continue to pray that God will give him full and complete recovery. [dsp]
SATURDAY MORNING / 6 February / Text from Becky Carver
"PLEASE PRAY! Dad had a stroke yesterday and is back in the hospital. We greatly appreciate your prayers. Dad has been crying hard."
ANOTHER MEDICAL EMERGENCY - URGENT!
5:30PM / FRIDAY / 5 FEBRUARY 2010
Pastor Carver did come home Wednesday, and was doing wonderfully. I talked to him Thursday morning and then talked to their daughter, Becky, this morning [Friday], and he was continuing to make progress toward recovery.
Bob Jones talked to him at length earlier this afternoon.
But, Mary stepped out later this afternoon to run a short errand, and when she returned around 5:30 [or shortly before], Brother Carver was collapsed in the hallway of their home. Mary called for Becky, and when they tried to converse with him, he was very incoherent and confused. He was also suffering from weaknesses compatible with stroke symptoms.
They were rushing him back to the hospital at that time.
That is all I know right now. I will post further updates as I receive them.
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON / 3 February / Text from Becky Carver
"Our Dad is coming home today!"
SUNDAY EVENING, 31 January / Text from Becky Carver
Dad is still in the hospital. Clamping tubes again tomorrow to see what happens.
FRIDAY EVENING / 29 January 2010
The last report I have received is that Brother Carver is improving from the setback he suffered on Wednesday and then had another 'bad' day on Thursday. His lung has now 'inflated' some and is functioning more normally.
He is still in the hospital, but they are hoping he will, within the next very few days, be discharged to a surgery-rehabilitation center to regain strength. He still has a long way to go to enjoy complete recovery. [dsp]
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON / From Becky Carver
Becky called me this afternoon to tell me that Brother Carver is suffering from other new complications. His lung is still not inflating and functioning. They had to insert a new tube into his side today to treat the lung. They have also told them just today that he also has emphysema, which is complicating these after-effects from the surgery. The emphysema, of course, will not improve or rehabilitate. He can't do long without his oxygen-assist. So, they are just waiting on God now to see where these new developments will take them over the next few days.
They do appreciate very much your continued praying for him and for them. [dsp]
TUESDAY EVENING / Text from Becky Carver
Dad isn't going home tomorrow [Wednesday] - he still has a leak in his lung. He gets very winded when he moves a little bit.
MONDAY EVENING / 25 JANUARY / Text from Becky Carver
Dad is doing soo much better. He may be going home on Wednesday if he keeps doing as well as he is now.
FRIDAY NIGHT / From Becky Carver
Becky called me as she was leaving the hospital late Friday evening. Brother Carver has rested better the past couple nights. He still has drainage tubes in his chest and abdomen to evacuate the fluid retention around his lungs and heart, and his left lung still has not fully inflated from the surgery and post-surgery excessive fluid. He is still very weak, but slowing regaining strength by the day. He is out of ICU and in a private room now.
THURSDAY EVENING / Text from Becky Carver
"Dad is very sore, and it hurts to even take a breath, but they have started getting him out of bed and moving him a little today. He is dealing with it pretty good. He told the nurse he likes it quiet as opposed to the loudness in ICU."
WEDNESDAY NIGHT / Text from Becky Carver
"Dad is doing great. He is on real foods now."
I assume that they have weaned him from the ventilator, and he is eating on his own instead of through IVs and tubes. We are praising God for this development. [dsp]
TUESDAY AFTERNOON
Pastor Carver continues to improve. Talked to Becky, their daughter, this afternoon. He is still on the ventilator, and they are trying to wean him from it. One of the chief reasons he is on the ventilator is that he is retaining a lot of fluid, and it is pressing his lungs and heart, complicating his breathing. They are administering Lasix to serve as a diuretic to reduce his fluid retention. They are also having to suction his lungs periodically to evacuate fluid that way. This procedure is very traumatic and painful for him. But, he is cognizant, coherent, and communicative - all for which we praise God.
TUESDAY MORNING
His recovery is being hampered by some agitation he experiences when he begins to emerge from sedation. So, they are continuing to sedate him to keep him from struggling with the tubes and monitoring paraphenalia. Continue to pray for his complete recovery.
18 JANUARY 2010 / MONDAY
Pastor Carver underwent surgery today from approximately 8am - 1.30pm. Surgery went well. Surgeons performed 6 bypasses. He was in recovery shortly thereafter.
18 January 2009 / Monday
PASTOR CARVER IS SCHEDULED FOR SURGERY @ 8AM TODAY. PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM...AND THEIR FAMILY.
16 January 2010 / Saturday
Dear Bro. Parks,
Good afternoon, this is Becky Carver, Pastor Carver's youngest daughter... On behalf of my dad and the family we want to thank you for your sincere prayers. We thank God that He is in control and that dad has soooo many true friends that are truly sincere with their walk with Christ. He has had his ups and downs for sure; however, he is tolerating the pain better today than he has been.
Will keep you posted as we find out more.
Sincerely His,
The Carver Family and extended
16 January 2010 / Saturday
UPDATE: Pastor Louie Carver
Brother Carver is scheduled for multi-bypass open heart surgery early Monday morning, 18 January. Continue praying for him and for Mary, his wife - and for their children during this time of adversity.

RE: Pastor Louie Carver
Many of you know Brother Carver – some of you may not.
The Lord knows Pastor Carver if you don’t, so we would appreciate your asking the Lord to intervene in his behalf.
Brother Carver has moved from the Chicago area to Simpsonville SC [during 2009]. Three of their daughters live nearby.
I got a call from their daughter, Becky, this morning to inform me that Pastor Carver had a massive heart attack yesterday and is in the ICU in a Simpsonville Hospital.
They performed a heart catheterization yesterday and one angioplasty [balloon procedure] to immediately open one artery. All of his arteries are occluded.
They want to wait until the first of the week to perform the necessary bypass surgery, but if he continues to have the same cardiac trauma activity he is experiencing now, they may not be able to wait.
Sister Carver [Mary] also has suffered some light strokes and has been home from her own hospitalization only a couple weeks.
That is all I know right now. Please pray for them all.
If you want to correspond with their home mailing address:
259 Finley Hill Court / Simpsonville SC 29681
His email address is: wlc1939@att.net
Mary will be accessing his emails and can take them to him.
Grace to you all.

MONTHLY GENERAL FUND SOLVENCY
We continue to reach and strive toward the goal of MONTHLY GENERAL FUND SOLVENCY for our standard monthly General Fund disbursements.
We disburse an average of $50,000 per month for all the General Fund commitments and services required to maintain our missionaries and their ministries.
DESIGNATED OFFERINGS ARE NOT APPLIED TO GENERAL FUND USES. Designated offerings are ‘pre-addressed’ by the contributor and are ‘forwarded’ to the missionaries for the designated intended use.
But, when and if MONTHLY GENERAL FUND offerings supply our missionaries’ essential, standard financial needs, then we can consider using the Thanksgiving Offering to increase the modest commitments we are disbursing to them now.
THE GREATEST NEED BAPTIST FAITH MISSIONARIES HAVE AT THIS TIME IS OUR CONSISTENT, COMMITTED, AND COOPERATIVE INCREASES OF OUR OFFERINGS TO THE GENERAL FUND.
Baptist Faith Missions strives to function on the principles of:
EFFECTIVENESS,
EFFICIENCY,
and EQUALITY – that is, “what we do for one missionary, we do for all”.
That is the beauty and benefit of the GENERAL FUND / non-deputation principle.
We ask each of our Giving Friends to join us in this RESOLUTION: “Resolved, that I will commit to increase my own personal giving, and our church’s offerings to the BFM General Fund, so that our missionaries’ needs will be supplied and that Christ’s Name will be more widely proclaimed throughout the nations of the world.”
“Now, therefore, KNOW and CONSIDER WHAT YOU WILL DO…” [1 Samuel 25.17]
Habakkuk 2.14: “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.”
-________________________’
A GLARING INGLORIOUS NUMBER: $19,814.51
This amount is the total of ACCRUED ADDITIONAL DEDUCTIONS from our missionaries’ monthly deposits we had to make over three months of 2009 [August-October].
We made these additional deductions because we didn’t receive enough Monthly General Fund Offerings to cover the standard disbursements we made to our missionaries – and we didn’t have adequate funds in the remaining Thanksgiving Offering to supply those months’ deficits.
So, for those three months, what we did was to calculate their monthly deposits according to our standard commitments we make to them – and then, when the funds were not available to make those disbursements, WE WENT BACK AND TOOK BACK SOME OF THE DEPOSIT AMOUNT UNTIL IT MATCHED THE AVAILABLE FUNDS WE HAD TO MAKE THAT DEPOSIT.
WE CAN AVOID HAVING TO DO THAT EVER AGAIN BY INCREASING OUR MONTHLY GENERAL FUND OFFERINGS.

2009-10 THANKSGIVING OFFERING / JANUARY UPDATE
2009-10 THANKSGIVING OFFERING UPDATE
God bless each one who has given – and you who will continue to give – to our THANKSGIVING OFFERING.
With the offerings reported this month [$55,006.51 – see the Offerings Report pages in the January issue of our monthly newsletter, THE MISSION SHEETS], our new updated total is $84,803.01.
That is only less than $3000 short of our FINAL TOTAL of last year’s Thanksgiving Offering. We are praying and hoping that still others of you will contribute over the weeks to come and that we can reach our $100,000 Goal!
THE THANKSGIVING OFFERING IS USED TO DISBURSE THOSE COMMITMENTS WE HAVE MADE TO OUR MISSIONARIES FROM THE GENERAL FUND WHICH ARE NOT SUPPLIED BY OUR MONTHLY OFFERINGS TO THE GENERAL FUND.
