Water of Life

When Roland Bergeron, owner of a custom home building company, first heard that more than 800 million people in the world didn’t have access to clean water, he was shocked. An engineer by trade, he became even more involved in water ministry in 2002, when he went on his first mission trip to Central America. On that trip, his heart was so stirred that he continued to participate in multiple trips to Central America.

Still, Roland knew that God was calling him to take more action, and in 2002 he led a group of volunteers to found Water of Life to provide water wells to those most in need of clean water in this world. In 2004, Roland made the life-changing trip to Liberia, West Africa, soon adding Sierra Leone and eventually India to the service area. Finding his life’s calling, Roland turned over his home building company to his son’s care, and Water of Life has since spread, serving hundreds of thousands of people every year in these three countries.  It was a pleasure to spend a few minutes with Roland to talk about Water of Life’s mission and how we can help.[podcast src=”https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/6887878/height/200/width/450/theme/standard/autonext/no/thumbnail/yes/autoplay/no/preload/no/no_addthis/no/direction/forward/” height=”200″ width=”450″ placement=”bottom” theme=”standard”]

Dinesh D’Souza’s “Death of a Nation”

Death of A Nation 2

Join Mike Gallagher and Joey Hudson for the Upstate’s Premiere Showing of Dinesh D’Souza’s latest film, Death of a Nation. It’s FREE, but you must register.  Movie starts at 7p at the Camelot Cinemas on E Antrim Dr in Greenville.

Not since 1860 have the Democrats so fanatically refused to accept the result of a free election. That year, their target was Lincoln. They smeared him. They went to war to defeat him. In the end, they assassinated him.

Now the target of the Democrats is President Trump and his supporters. The Left calls them racists, white supremacists and fascists. These charges are used to justify driving Trump from office and discrediting the right “by any means necessary.”

Through stunning historical recreations and a searching examination of fascism and white supremacy, Death of a Nationcuts through progressive big lies to expose hidden history and explosive truths.

Lincoln united his party and saved America from the Democrats for the first time. Can Trump—and we—come together and save America for the second time?

South Carolina Peach Festival Kicks Off This Week

The SC Peach Festival began in July of 1977.  The festival has always been held in July because of it being the peak season for peaches.  Even though peaches are not the main farming crop in Gaffney, the SC Peach Festival still takes place as an annual event due to popularity and demand.    Events such as the infamous Mug Bog, Road Race, Pageant, BBQ Cook-off and Downtown events attract visitors every year.  Some events have come and gone but none the less the festival still goes on.  You can find any information about the schedule on the SC Peach Festival website.  Be sure to check out our Facebook page and like and share.  Carlton Bridges is one of the many volunteers who make the SC Peach Festival possible each year. I was happy to have him join me this week.

Pentecost

Toxaway Church

A beautiful Sunday in the mountains.  What a great Pentecost service at Lake Toxaway United Methodist Church.  Pastor Marcus Dodson preached about the need for a revival (my words, not his) of the church in America.  Christianity is growing tremendously in Africa and South America while our numbers dwindle in the good ole US of A. With another school shooting this week (Sante Fe, TX) one has to wonder if the breakdown of the family and our Christian values is not the blame rather than the guns used to commit the crime?  The family of the shooter expressed their grief and surprise in a statement:

“We share the public’s hunger for answers as to why this happened,” the statement continues, “and will await the outcome of the investigation before speaking about these events.”  – Pagourtzis family statement

…and I understand the tragedy  has to be hard for shooter’s family, as well.  But, one does wonder how this young man was so troubled that he would take guns to his school and kill 10 people without his family knowing he was struggling with personal anger, rage and whatever causes these violent actions.

In all of these tragedies there is also the demonstration of good in people as Pro Football player JJ Watt is offering to pay for these kids funerals.

So, on this Pentecost Sunday let us remember what Acts 2:21 promise:  “And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
