Ok, the wife and I have decided..... (ahh for all my foes,, did you notice my wife was actually allowed to help me make the decision.......?) after my surgery in August, which we have decided to have.. we are going to do something we have always wanted to do.
We are going down to the RV dealership and buy us a new RV.. and take a one year road trip around the USA, Canada & Mexico.
Both of our children are homeschooled.. we will be able to take them on educational places that they are learning about such as Liberty Bell.. Gettysburg and so forth......
However, we would also like to make this a spiritual journey as well.. of course we will be visiting alot of the Branham churches along the journey.... but we would also like to find maybe some of the old campmeetings.. where you can actually go and park the RV for a week.. have multiples services each day, with dinner on the ground.. and TRUE FELLOWSHIP.. rather than just running in for an evening service and running out... We are looking for Nostalgia.. the OLD CAMPEETING GROUNDS>...does anyone know of any.. it does not have to be any particular denomination.. except we would like for it to have a HOLINESS feel or theme to it.. we have located on in Virginia that has 10 solid weeks of campmeeting with 3 sevices daily.. free meals and lodging.. and RV hookups.. so we are exited about this trip....
Do you have any places that we MUST SEE? and especially any knowdge of old time campmeetings? We want our children to see "days gone by"
Thanks

I preach a "homecoming" first Sunday in October every year at New Market VA. 1 mile off I-81. New Market was a cival war battlefield. Was faught by kids in the VMI. There is the farm home and grounds where the battle took place. My son loved it. Laury caverns are there also.
The church is oneness, the baptise in "Lord Jesus Christ" but if the pastor is a Branham I would not know. The service we conduct is music, pastor is 1st cousin to Patsy Cline and the whole family can play and sing, and then I preach a true evangelist word--faith or healing and miracles, ect. Dinner on the ground...fun times.

You can visit great cultural meccas in an RV.
Places like...
Rome. (Georgia)
Vienna. (Illinois)
Vincennes. (Indiana)
Paris. (Missouri)
London. (Ohio)
After you go up the West Coast head on up to Alaska through Alberta Canada. I don't know how many cult...er......Branhamite churches you will find there but Canada and Alaska are definitely wonderfl places to take your kids during the summer part of you year. You could bless and be blessed by some small pioneer churches and your kids will see a majestic part of the earth they will never forget. Everybody needs to travel the Alaska Highway at least once.

Don't miss the "Drive-Thru Tree" in the Redwood forest in California. Might be a tight fit for an RV, but maybe if you get a good running start....

You could come to Nashville and go to the Grand Ole Opry! Then, on Sunday you could attend Christ Church. Imagine, you'll have two months worth of sermon material after this visit! :D

Perhaps he could ask Nancy Pelosi to stand in the middle of the drive thru so he could aim...er.... make the middle.

Sunday night he could visit the Branhamite church with the beautiful new building here in Murfreesboro right outside Nashville. If he hung around a week or two he could also visit the one you sold the piano to and then make his way to the Serpent Seed church right down the road from me here.

If you come through the Nashville area to visit those churches you need to call Pianoman and myself so we can meet for coffee or to listen to some William Branham cassette tapes!
I have not seen Bro. Andrews church but Bro. Hamids is very beautiful on the outside.

Make sure you make a point of seeing the evening play, the best one is "cry witch". We have also seen others but this is the best. It's a renactment of a witch trial in the 1700's, it's amazing what made others think someone was a witch... Great play, you are actually on the Jury and have to decide her fate. We saw it twice.

Don't miss the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone National Park- Great way to teach Geological formations. Also, Mt Rushmore- Great Presidents. We RV'ed to Alaska 3 years ago. It was a trip of a lifetime. We loved it. Please take lots of time in Washington DC -there is so much to see there.

If you mean the canyon, be sure and visit Flagstaff. There is a dead volcano National Park about 20 miles north of Flag that has great RV hookups and they used to allow people to go thru the lava cave. Where the lava cooled on top and the molton rock flowed out from below and left a "cave."
Perhaps he could ask Nancy Pelosi to stand in the middle of the drive thru so he could aim...er.... make the middle.
Dear Lord,
I know my friend CC1 was just kidding in this post.... but if you dont mind, and if it isnt too much trouble..... could you please consider that a grantable request?

Girl, my dad worked at the South Oak Cliff Post Office back in the day. That was a scary place. The last time I was in Oak Cliff was about 30 years ago, they had bars on the windows of the stores. I mean I got into some meaness back in the day but not that much. We had a friend that started a little store front church in West Dallas, near the projects. THAT was a scary place, you kept your car doors locked and your windows rolled up.

No, Bro. Hamid had a church in Georgia and felt led of God to start another church in Murfreesboro... 95% OF HIS CONGREGATION from Georgia moved when he moved.. about 200 folks and then when they arrived in Murfreesboro they added about another 300 folks... so it was not a split off

He says he plans on towing an RV so he needs the low end torque of a diesel. Plus a heavy towing vehcile plus mountains many times adds up to a blown engine or at least a compromised one.
If you are traveling on flat ground and not towing I would agree with you.
I read that until 2004 diesel was always less expensive than gas but has cost more since then. That is when they started requiring the different formulations for each season of the year, etc.
Someone mentioned piano on a previous post!!

I know Evangelist that have swapped the Power Stroke for the V-10 and have nothing but good reports.
The V-10 can be hooked up to the same rear end and transmission the Power Stroke has and will get just as much pulling power cheaper.
