Greeting in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

I would like to thank you for your prayers and support. God is doing a great work in the Church. Miracle Baptist Church is growing spiritually and we are seeing things that money can’t buy. Church members are beginnning to step up and ask how they can serve in the Church. Praise God!

The first night of the Ronnie Tullos Evangelistic Association, 23rd Memphis Inner City Crusade, we showed the Burning Hell movie in the Montgomery Housing Projects and God allowed us to see 143 people make professions of faith. Brother Ronnie Tullos asked me to go around on the other end of the projects because there were some men we had not shared the gospel with. When we made our way around where the men were standing, they said they were saved. After we left those guys, we went to the corner of Kansas and Fay streets, where people were standing around, and God allowed us to see six more come to know Him. There was a young lady I was trying to share the gospel with and she told me that she didn’t have time to listen. Three weeks later a gentleman called me and said he saw a family on the news who didn’t have utilities. This gentleman said God had touched his wife’s and his heart to help this family. He said he wanted to help this family but didn’t know the area and asked if I could go with him to see this them. When we arrived at the lady house she had four kids and one was the young lady I had witnessed to three weeks ago doing our crusade. The Lord had her ready and waiting to except Christ, along with her mom and siblings. The entire family got saved, Praise God! They are now attending Miracle Baptist and waiting to be baptized.

In Christ,
Pastor Ronnie Johnson

Psalm 115:1 “Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.”

God alone is worthy to be praised and receive glory and honor. Mat 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God:
We know that it is impossible, outside of the grace of God, to do any good thing. That is why I am prefacing this post with these statements. Because God has been doing some awesome things this month. Yesterday, God saved twenty-four folks at a little country Church in Wynne, Arkansas. During the week prior to that, God allowed us to see a total of eighty-three people profess Christ at FBC Millington, FBC Senatobia and at the ICOC. That gives us a total of 226 professions of faith for the month of August and 1,836 professions for the year. “Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us. . . .” The ICOC and Miracle Baptist Church are doing well and the Promised Land Camp is still coming along slowly. A lack of money is slowing down the camp, because I do not want to go into debt in order to build it. We are able to use it on a limited capacity basis. However, we are looking forward to building some cabins before long.
James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Just a note to say that my health is a little better and I am finally able to get around and work. Since the first of the year, we have held 134 services and as a result 689 people have asked Jesus to save them. God does it! Sardis Lake Baptist Church invited me to a Missions Conference in April and as I talked with Brother Kevin, the Pastor, I mentioned that a Missions conference without missions would be a shame. So we took some of our Miracle Baptist Soul-winners down on a Friday afternoon and some of the Sardis Lake folks went with us on the streets in Batesville, Mississippi. The “fishing was good in the hood.” We saw 38 precious souls come to Christ during a three hour stretch. It was such a fertile area, we have started planning a “Summer Night of Soul-Winning” for this Summer. I am excited! If you want to be a part of this outreach or our Inner-City Crusade during July 5th-10th, give us a call or send us an email. (901) 527-0504 info@rtea.net. Bless you all.

Greeting in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,

I thank the Lord for your faithful prayers and support. The Lord is doing a wonderful work in our Church family and we are seeing people saved and lives changed on a regular basis. Members are stepping up and asking to take on responsibilities in the Church. The Church is beginning to operate like the Body of Christ should. During the months of February and March we have seen 83 people come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior during our services. Praise God! Our Ladies Sunday School and Ladies Bible studies on Thursdays are growing and well. Our Men’s Sunday School and Tuesdays Bible studies are leading to good discipleship opportunities . Our Youth Sunday School class and weekly Bible study are growing and doing well. Our Children’s Sunday class and Children Church’s are doing well also.

February was an awesome month. We have had good preaching by Bro. Dale Showers, Rev. Jeff Patrick, and Evangelist, Ronnie Tullos who preached our Sunday through Wednesday revival where fifty people gave their hearts to the Lord. We witnessed God moving in a great way in our midst. We also celebrated our Pastor and Wife appreciation day and it was a humbling time for me. What a privilege and honor to serve Christ, the Son of the living God. Everybody showed Rhonda and I much love. Friends, family and the community, all came to support us and to praise God because of what He is doing. The month of March was a great month as well even though it went by very fast. The Word of God is going forth and people are still being saved. We have had a good time praising God and sweet fellowship.

April started off with more souls coming to “repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ”. Praise God! We invited several people from the community to attend Kirby Woods Baptist Church Revival. Bro. Bob Pitman preached the revival starting on Sunday the 4th through the 7th. God allowed us to see six of our youth give their hearts to the Lord doing the revival. Praise God! I had the joy of baptizing those six new believers at Miracle Baptist. “So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.” (Romans 9:16) We are looking forward to teaming up with D-now from Kirby Wood Baptist Church and have our second year family festival. God blessed last year and we are praying He will do the same this year. Please continue to pray for the Ronnie Tullos Evangelistic Association, Inner City Outreach Center, Promised Land Camp and Miracle Baptist Church. Pray God will help us to stay faithful, obedient, and protect us and our families. Thank you again for all your prayers and support.

In Christ,
Pastor Ronnie Johnson

Bro. Ronnie,

This past month, the ICOC was a host site for a week long basketball tournament for ages 10 & under, 8 & under, and 6 & under. We held games on Saturday, March 6th, Tuesday the 9th, and Friday the 12th. I had the privilege to not only pray for the teams before every game, but preach at the half time of several games. Finally, an invitation was extended to come and preach at the finals on Saturday the 13th. Dadrian and I went over to Lester Middle School, and I took the opportunity to preach in between games there as well. It was such a blessing to get to preach, but it was even better due to the fact that 52 people stood during the invitations to profess that they had prayed to receive Christ!!!! God gave such a great harvest.
Many came to me to say “what a good job I did”, but I kept reminding myself and them that Romans 7:18 says “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing.” So if anything good happened, it had to be God and God alone, because it is impossible for me to do any good apart from HIM. Thank you Jesus for your saving power and abundant grace.

God has been good as He has allowed us to see over 460 people ask Jesus to save them this year. Through the ICOC, Miracle Baptist Church, the Promised Land Camp and our revivals, crusades and street witnessing, we have seen God do awesome things. We know that He is the One doing the work, but we have the privilege of being tools in His hands. To Him be all glory, honor and praise.

The team went out on this beautiful Monday morning and saw 24 precious souls invite Jesus to save them. After Lunch, we were coming back to the ICOC and God spoke to my heart to stop at a local basketball court and witness to a group of young men. Seven of those asked Jesus to save them and three more on the sidelines prayed for salvation. Pastor Johnson and Brother Chris are picking up pizzas for our “Pizza Bait Monday,” so we may have more professions tonight. Thank God for 34 already. Please continue to pray for us.

Brother Chris Russell preached at our Monday “Pizza Bait Night,” and 23 folks asked Jesus to save them. Afterward, we had a lively discussion with some of the folks, who shared their beliefs, even though they were wrong. It ended on a high note with everyone in good spirits and pizza being distributed. Our totals for the year to date: 92 services and 393 professions of faith. To God be the glory!
