“SOUL WINNING & REVIVAL” Volume 10/Number 2 January & February 2015
March 1, 2014 ……. Luke 2:49 “And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my
Father's business?”
Busy! Busy! Busy! What a blessing to be busy for Jesus! Our Savior knew the importance of doing the “Busy-ness” of
our Father. Of course, being busy for Jesus and being Faithful go together. And, if a person is Faithful he cannot help
but be Fruitful (Faithful and Fruitful go together, also). If I got what I deserve I would be in eternal hell right now, but
thanks to God’s love, grace and mercy I am, not only saved and have a home in Heaven, but I get to be Busy for Jesus
right now!
JANUARY 2015 ---- Usually, our family doesn’t travel much in January and February each year. This January was no
exception. Nevertheless, we were very busy in the Gospel ministry. God put it on my heart some time ago to write a series
of fundamental Sunday school material that could be placed in booklet form so students could read, study and fill-in the
blanks in the work-book section. We believed that God had us to begin with a study-book for the Book of Romans. God
allowed us to complete the publishing of the Book of Romans in two volumes. We plan to continue to write/publish
Sunday school work-books for all the epistles in the New Testament. Please check-out this material at
www.barnesministries.com Orders can be taken after April 1, 2015.
God allowed us to make tremendous progress in our radio ministry (The Gospel Radio Network) and we Praise God for
the improvements made. (See more details inside this issue of the “Shield of Faith.”)
January 25-30 ---- Pastor Dexter Landers and The Mt. Zion Baptist Church (our home church) were blessed to have
Dr. Tom Williams preach revival services each night. Dr. Williams did a great job and each message was inspired,
powerful and convicting. Many decisions were made and the Holy Spirit stirred the hearts of God’s people. Our family
was honored to help with singing in the services. It was a blessing to get to spend some time with our friends Dr. Williams
and Brother Joe Moore.
FEBRUARY 2015 ---- This was another good month for the radio ministry. During the months of January and February
our family spent a good bit of time working on the radio ministry and this kept us at home. Because of being at home we
enjoyed going door-to-door soul winning with our home church. We were able to carry the Gospel to many lost people and
several members of our family were blessed to see some people trust Christ as their Savior. I taught Sunday school at Mt.
Zion and preached on February 22nd and one young man trusted Christ as his Savior, (Praise the Lord).
God has blessed my health! Even with the monthly blood checks right now I am feeling GREAT. I’m so glad that we
have a Heavenly Father that loves us so much and cares about our every need! Surely, the whole world needs to know
Him as their Father! Please keep praying and supporting! Without your help the spread of the Gospel
would not be done! Thank you for your love and friendship
Thank you for being a faithful friend,

“Your Distinctive Christian Radio
Choice”
“The Gospel Radio Station
Ministry”
Thank God for what He is doing in
the radio ministry. God gave this
ministry to B.E. Ministries after nearly
eight years of prayer. We asked the
Lord to give us a radio station in west
Georgia that could be used to spread
the Gospel, play Christ honoring music,
help the local Bible preaching church
and glorify God. Most of our inquiries
were negative and we were told,
“Getting a station (especially FM) in
the Atlanta market would be
impossible.” God had other plans!
Bless the Lord!
When we began to work with the
station (construction permit) in
January 2012 we only had till May 2012
to have it on the air and broadcasting.
God did the “impossible” again and we
went on the air on May 27, 2012.
However, because of the limited
amount of time we had to work with,
many things had to be done on a
temporary basis. We placed the
antenna on a 21 foot long piece of pipe
and erected it on top the old bank
building in Tallapoosa, GA. We had to
run our cable through a nearby window
and connect to our transmitter located
in an old unused rest room. This is
where it is even to this very day.
But, Glory to God, last year we
were able to purchase three acres of
land on which to erect our permanent
radio tower and antenna. The land is
zoned correctly for our work and the
building and grading permit has been
obtained.
On January 27, 2015 Brother
Shane Goodwin and his company
began the grading and clearing of the
three acres with his big CAT loader to
make the land suitable for tower
erection. He took trees down and
cleared brush and made it look like a
different place. Since this property is
commercial the debris had to be
removed in large containers and not
buried or burned. By February 6 the
ground was cleared and the three acres
cleaned and ready for grass seed and
our new tower.
The next step was to locate a new
200 foot radio tower. With a lot of
prayer and the watchful eye of Brother
Marc Ball (a good friend at our church)
we located a used, but good, tower in
Warner Robins, GA.
On February 19 Brother Marc,
David, Evan and I drove to Warner
Robins and brought the tower back on
a 16 foot utility trailer. Praise God!
The purchase of the land; the
cost of the clearing and grading
and the purchase of the tower,
has all been done by donations
from God people ... And, Praise
Be To God, everything is paid for
and we have no indebtedness! All
that has been done is by the
GRACE of GOD!
Now, we need YOUR help to
keep moving forward. We need
to sow the grass seed; erect the
tower; build an 8x8 block building to
house our transmission equipment;
purchase anchors, bolts and fasteners
for the tower; cable, paint, concrete
and crane rental to complete the job.
Short-range Plans:
In addition to completion of
erection of our new tower, we plan to
open a studio in Carrollton, GA. and
set-up all the equipment for
operation (God has provided the new
console).
We plan to begin streaming on
the internet soon and, in keeping
with the tradition set by our friends
at The Fundamental Broadcasting
Network, we will continue the same
music and some programming as
FBN, with a touch of west Georgia
programming.
We plan to feature preaching by
such men as; Pastor Dexter Landers,
Pastor Doug Anderson, Dr. Dan
Reed, Dr. Myron McIntyre, Pastor
Randy Cape, Dr. Donny Chandler,
Pastor Donny Melton, Pastor Nick
Keller, and many other fundamental
men of God.
Would YOU pray and
ask God what He
would have to do to
HELP see that this
24/7 missionary is
cared for?
We’re praying for sponsors!!

“Radio Listener Letters”
“The Gospel Radio Network is such a
blessing to me. I love the music and
preaching. It is like a breath of fresh air;
no contemporary music and no
compromise on the preaching. Thanks and
God bless you.”J.W.
“My name is A… W…., I’m a police officer here in
Tallapoosa and enjoy listening to your station (88.7). It uplifts
my spirit to hear and make a joyful noise for the Lord. Your
station helps remind me of the Lord’s compassion and mercy for me. That grace easily helps me divert stress while working and
helps keep my head clear and temper down (lol). Thanks for
spreading the message through your radio ministry.” Officer
W…….
“While visiting our daughter in Tallapoosa, GA., we found
your station (WEYY 88.7FM) and loved the old songs of the
faith. My husband said the one thing he’d miss when we get
back to Greenville, SC., was the great music. Can you be found
anywhere near the Taylor, SC. area? I was surprised to hear
little Susie and Aunt Bea. Keep up the good work and if you are
not in our area, how can we help to get you here? Thanks! C.H.
“A Soul Winning Ministry” Any great and successful football team (Alabama Crimson
Tide, for example), always has two great things to make it win.
Those two things are a good passing game and a good running
game. So it is with a fruitful soul winning church.
Is there a difference in a soul winning ministry and a
ministry of soul winning?
A soul winning ministry might be one that preaches the
Gospel from the pulpit. Sad to say, some churches don’t do that
today. What a shame!
A ministry of soul winning is a church that practices
confrontational, face-to-face, one-on-one soul winning with any
person anywhere.
It is wonderful to have a soul winning ministry. Thank God
for every Bible preacher that stands at the pulpit every week and
preaches the saving Gospel of Christ.
But, just think what God could do if He had a church and
preacher that would practice both! It might just change this
world for the glory of God!
“Do It Now!” A man in his 70’s came to me after I preached a revival service
in his church. He said God told him to do something years ago
and he would not do it. He said “NO” to God. He then said, “God
never told me again to do that thing.” Do it NOW!
“A FUNDAMENTALIST”
A fundamentalist is a person that believes ALL the
Bible. Not that he knows ALL the Bible, but that he
believes ALL of it.
“TWO SIDES TO THE STORY”
Proverbs 3:6 “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall
direct thy paths.”
When human beings are dealing with each other it has often
been said, “There is two sides to every story.” We use this
statement when we’re trying to determine who is right and who is
wrong in a conflict or disagreement.
Honesty will reveal that this statement is not actually TRUE.
Oh, for sure, there is your side and then there is my side, and in
most cases a dispute cannot be properly settled until both sides
are heard.
But, let us not forget that there is one more side to the story;
and that is God’s side.
Regardless of their side or our side, we better make sure that
we check-out God’s side and seek to follow it.
“Georgia National Fair 2015” Perry, Georgia
October 8 – 18, 2015 ……. Our Fair Soul Winning Ministry
will be here before you know it. This Fair will be our nineteenth
(19th) year of soul winning among the
visitors to the Fair. We have literally
seen thousands of people of all ages
listen to the clear Gospel message and
believe and receive Christ as their
Savior. Praise the Lord!!
The cost of this ministry is $3000+.
This covers our tent rental, our RV parking, the rental of the
space on the Fair grounds and our printing cost.
Our first payment is due on June 15, 2015. If YOU can
help with this cost, YOU will be investing in the souls of
men for salvation.
“Bad music at church is as useless as a glass eye
at a key hole.”
“PRAY ONE FOR ANOTHER”
Please join us in prayer these men of God: Brother
Donny Chandler ….. starts radiation treatments on
Thursday March 5 for five days/week for six weeks.
Pastor Doug Anderson ….. Heart treatment.
Brother Alan Ovitt …… heart surgery coming up later.
Pastor Garry Berry ….. recovering from heart surgery.
Please pray that God will help these men and give them
grace, healing and faith.
Ephesians 4:27 “Neither give place to the devil.”
One time at the rescue mission a judge released a woman
to my supervision that had been charged with drug
possession. She was to report to me three times a week for
instruction and accountability.
She told me how the devil had come and knocked on her door. She opened the door and thought he just wanted to talk
a while. She gave him attention and a place at the door. She
told me, before she knew it, he had moved in bag and
baggage and took-up residence in her house and she had to
set him a place at the table.
What she thought was going to be a simple
conversation, turned into a terrible experience for her and her
family. If she had only, NOT given him PLACE.

YES, YOU CAN KNOW FOR SURE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HEAVEN!
1John 5:13 “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the
name of the Son of God.” Notice this verse says YOU can KNOW!
HERE IS THE BIBLE WAY TO HEAVEN:
1. You must BELIEVE and realize you are a SINNER: Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” No one is exempt. No one
is excluded. You are a sinner because you have broken God’s law.
2. You must BELIEVE and realize there is a PAYMENT (penalty) for SIN: Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death;” Just as there are wages for good,
there is punishment for wrong. The penalty for our sin is eternal separation from God in Hell.
3. You must BELIEVE Christ died and rose again for YOU: Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us.”
4. You must BELIEVE that ETERNAL LIFE is a free GIFT which YOU receive by FAITH in JESUS: Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the
gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” A GIFT cannot be worked for; it must be RECEIVED by putting your FAITH in what JESUS did for YOU
on the cross.
Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Everlasting life is a gift purchased by the blood of Jesus and offered freely to those who call upon Him by faith.
Why not pray right now and ask Jesus to save you? “Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner. Please forgive me for my sins. I now trust you as my personal Savior.
Come into my heart and save my soul from Hell. Please take me to Heaven when I die. Thank you for saving me, Jesus. Amen.” CONGRATULATIONS!
