People needed food and each other. They found it on a pastor’s back deck.

“We just feed, sit around and talk, telling stories and encouraging each other while the kids play,” Pastor Harris said. “It’s become our gathering time.”

The Church being the Church! I pray more Churches whip into action in their communities! Down with the walls. Walls do not invite people in, love and hugs to all people work! Get busy Pastors! Spread the love of JESUS in your community! America is in bad shape. We all need to make a greater impact for JESUS! JESUS! Ask yourself today, am I doing all I can to fulfill the Great Commission? George Barna: “People have become more selfish, churches have become less influential, pastors have become less Bible-centric”

Why Church giving is decreasing

FAIRVIEW, North Carolina (BP) – Cane Creek starts as a trickle up in the mountains from Stacy Harris’ home. Garren Creek and Flat Creek are there too. Typically, they create the small, crystal-clear pools trout love and cascading waterfalls that are favorites of Smoky Mountain tourists.

Their appearance began to change nearly two weeks ago when heavy rain saturated the area. Then Hurricane Helene arrived on Friday, Oct. 4. People in Fairview Township, where Harris is pastor at Trinity of Fairview Baptist Church, hunkered down. Their homes lost power at 3:23 a.m. that night.

“It was around noon on Saturday before we could venture outside,” said Harris. “There was even some blue sky because Helene was gone. But we couldn’t go anywhere.”

The mailing address for his church is in Fletcher, a bedroom community about 20 minutes south of Asheville. Fairview is further into the mountains. Those who ever attended a conference at Ridgecrest and took a side trip to Bat Cave or Chimney Rock drove through Fairview on Highway 74. More Here
