May God's Richest Blessings be on you and your family in 2010
God crowned the old year with His Blessings on the Foote Evangelistic Team. From Camp Meeting to Alaska meetings to Spring Revivals to a Summer packed with VBS programs to Fall Revivals and Snowed out Christmas Programs...God's Good Blessings were upon us.
LOOKING AHEAD. The Spring and Fall schedules are skinny, but the Summer is Filled with VBS programs and Deaf Camp. Prayer is needed to fill the holes in my schedule.
VAN REPORT. The Van is running great, taking us over the miles to meetings both North and South. A BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE A PART IN KEEPING US ON THE ROAD. One Church send a half payment each month and some send half payment once a year. Some sent a one time payment. To be honest we could use two more churches to send a half payment once a year. Or if 10 churches would put us in theirmissionary budget for 30 0r 50 dollars a month it would keep the van rolling after souls and REVIVAL. One thing YOU can do for us is to PRAY THAT GOD WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPLY OUR NEEDS
MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND GIVE YOU A GREAT YEAR IN HIS SERVICE,
Evangelist Leon Foote

GREETINGS FROM THE OLE SAWDUST TRAIL...

VAN REPORT
The new van is a blessing from God and many of you. It is still running great, I am amazed at all the gadgets it has on it, still learning how to use all of them.
Some gave a one time gift and that has helped to make the payments on time. One church gives a half payment each month and some a half payment once a year ($300) and one a full payment once a year. That is a BIG help. Ten churches have commited to a payment or half, we could use two more churches to make a half payment one time each year, if the Lord should lead it would be a blessing and help to our ministry.
Open Time in 2009
After our trip to PA, Bryan and I will be in Alaska for all of February and March and part of April.
The third week of April is open for ole time revival.
The Summer VBS programs look good. John, Monica and Abby (age 4 then), will be with me for Puppets, clowns, etc. This year I will be teaching many of the Parables Jesus taught.
I do have a couple of weeks open for VBS June 7-12 and June 28 - July 2 or 3 (this one should be in PA).
I COULD TAKE A COUPLE OF MEETINGS IN THE MONTH OF MAY
A BIG THANKS...
As we close out 2008, I want to give a BIG THANKS.
To the many friends of the "OLE SAWDUST TRAIL"
- Thanks for your friendship, many new and ole friends all across the fruited plains.
- Thanks for your prayers. Maybe in Heaven I will see how your prayers have kept this 75 year old preacher going.
- Thanks for your support as Paul said about one of his churches, I can say about many of you you gave, once and again, that helps us pay our bills and keep us on the Trail of Souls.
LET ME SAY ONCE AGAIN, GOD BLESS YOU AND GIVE YOU A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR...
Your friend,

GREETINGS FROM THE OLE SAWDUST TRAIL
With Evangelist Leon Foote
September 30, 2007
Ole Doc Answers...
Question: Why should a church use an evangelist?
Answer: Many churches today are using a fellow pastor or friend to conduct evangelistic meetings once or twice a year. They are haveing good meetings hearings some of the Pastor's best sermons. It usually stirs the chruch and creates a lot of excitement.
Then why have an evangelist?
The Holy Spirit had the Apostle Paul write that God gave a gift to the church called Evangelist, for the perfecting of the saints. An Evangelist is different from a Pastor. His gifts and calling are different. I have read of the old Evangelist of the 18th and 19th centuries (Finney, Moody, Sunday and others). I met some of the 20th century Evangelists (Jones, Rice, Br. Maze, Harvey Springer, Kelly, Oliver Greene and others).
I began Evangelism in the 1950s and experienced first had the difference. The Evangelist comes to the church with a different message to stirr and convict of Sin and Unrighteousness on the part of the church members resulting in souls being saved. Strong preaching that produces results.
Moody said that a good sermon makes some mad and some glad.
Billy Sunday was hated and lied about because of his preaching.
Sam Jones was attacted on the street by the mayor of a city because of what he preached.
WHY NO REVIVAL TODAY?
Maybe it is because we are not using the calling of an Evangelist.
THATS HOW OLE DOC SEES IT.
There are many good, outstanding evangelist today you can use to help bring Revival to you church.
TO NAME A FEW: Donnie Pollard, Hal Webb, Barry Webb, David Maynard, Tom Farrell, Jerry Sivnksty and his son Scott, Bud Lyles, Bennett Collins, David Smallwood, Bill Hall, and many more. Did I forget to mention Leon Foote?
DEAF CAMP REPORT
The devil fought, but God gave the victory. One worker who grew up coming to camp said that this was one of the best camps ever. In a combined deaf and hearing class Bro. John Leatherman brought a message on asking God why and it was right on target, just what deaf and hearing needed.
We now have a Deaf Camp Advisory Board: Pastors Charlie Hicks, John Leatherman and Greg Harven. They will be a great help.
Aug. 16-21 will be the dates for 2008 at Camp Mantowagon. Tell the deaf, and maybe your chruch or SS or Youth Group can sponsor a deaf for next year. Some could not come this year (no money). Set aside $125 to help a deaf to come to PA.

DEAF CAMP IN PA
ATTENTION Deaf Workers,
We just closed our 37th. year of Deaf Camp in PA. The devil fought, but God gave us one of the best of the 37 years.
We included the hearing this year and it was a big blessing to all who attended.
Please plan to bring you deaf next year to Deaf Camp 38. Maybe your church could start a fund to send them.
In 2008 the dates are already set Aug. 16-21.
Plan now to attend. Contact Bob Bricker at bbcdeaf@ptd.net or Dr. Foote at oledocFoote@juno.com
Allen Snare will be the main speaker along with others.
Yours for the Deaf,
Evangelist Leon Foote
