![]() This month's CD/Podcast is an oldie but a goodie! Dominos is a message James preached several years ago. The message that James Payne brings in this podcast/CD is the story of the founder of Domino's pizza and how he figured out if the people won't come to him to get pizza, then he would deliver!! Now thanks to that virus Satan sent, called COVID, what the devil meant for harm God has used this stumbling block as a stepping stone to raise America up to a new level. The Churches have now learned how to do that Domino's thing and take the message to the homes and the vehicles wherever the people are. About all your Churches are now streaming their messages on Facebook or Youtube to the homes of people not only in their area, but all across the country and around the world. The trucking industry has know for years if we are going to reach this country we have take the Gospel message to where the people are. We must stretch a net all across America for the harvest time is near. When we all start working together we can "Take America Back." Mark 16:15 says, "Go Ye Therefore, into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." Jesus went to where the people were and preached the Gospel to them, right where they were!! This is where Church on the Road began. Most of Jesus sermons were out among the people and not inside the Church buildings. I remember reading my Bible one day and coming across this Scripture and the words The Called jumped off the page and God spoke to me and said that's you, you are The Called. God has something special, something unique for each and every one of us if we will just reach out and grab it. Most of the time it requires getting out of the boat, or getting out of our comfort zone. Many times it has us doing things we just aren't capable of doing, but with God all things are possible. We are The Called, We are the hands and feet of Christ. He has a plan for each and every one of us who call out to Him and say, "here am I send me, use me Lord." Romans 8:30 say's "And having chosen them, He called them to come to Him. And having called them, He gave them right standing with Himself. And having given them right standing, He gave them is glory. We have the Glory of God himself all over us if we choose to walk in His glory. God wants to give us the desires of our heart when we put others first. When we make our lives about reaching and helping others! God is searching for His chosen people to stand up and claim the promise He has for you! I was 43 when I got saved and 48 years old when I surrendered to The Call God had on my life. It's not too late for you to surrender to The Call God has for your life. After all Moses was 80 years old when he surrendered to The Call on his life and look what God used him to do! What is God calling you to do for His Kingdom? God is stretching a net across America using the trucking industry and the Churches that are willing to get outside of their walls, to reach lost and hurting communities all across America. Join with us to reach your family, friends and neighbors. We have an opportunity for you or your Church to broadcast on Lonesome Road Radio or Lonesome Road TV. Give us a call to talk about the many different ways we can work together to reach your family, friends, & neighbors. We also have partnership advertising available for your company or business. When you become partners with Lonesome Road Ministries, we want to help you as you help us reach more souls for Jesus. Check out our TV programs on the link below!

What A powerful testimony we have for you this month. Roger states in his testimony he decided he wanted to be a difference maker and started praying and asking God to make him a “Difference Maker’” God isn't looking for impressive people; He wants willing ones who will bow their knee in humble submission. Being weak and ordinary doesn't make you useless. Rather, it positions you for a demonstration of divine power in your life. He takes insignificant ones and delights in making them great. God is willing to give any who ask a brand new heart, a brand new Spirit. He wants each one of us to be a difference maker. Have you ever considered that your lack of ability, talent, or skill is the ideal setting for a great display of Christ's power and glory? If you are willing to submit to His leading and venture into the scary, yet rewarding, territory of faith and obedience, He will do great things in and through you. Are you ready to be one of God's “Difference Makers.” Then take that step of faith, and say here am I Lord use me, and watch what only God can do in you and through you! Lonesome Road Ministries wants to help you become all that God is calling you to be. Let us help you be that light that will shine everywhere you go. Contact us and let’s work together to reach our family, friends, our neighbors. We are looking for partners for our radio station, our streaming channel Lonesome Road TV and our Podcast/CD program that we continue to use to reach the lost and hurting souls all across America!

We are planning a fish fry again this year Saturday afternoon and the Sunday service will be held right here at Lonesome Road Ministries this year, so plan on staying all 3 days, if possible. Sunday afternoon will be a time of great fellowship here at Lonesome Road Ministries. Everyone Welcome!!! Come join our family! ![]() In this month’s podcast/CD, you are going to hear some powerful testimonies about letting your light so shine so that OTHERS will see Jesus in you! In Matthew Chapter 5:14-16, we find one of the most quoted verses in the Bible. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor, do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Hide it under a bushel? NO!!! Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. It’s time to get out of the pews and hit the streets! Luke 14:23 one of my favorite verses says; And the Lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. Jesus is saying to us in His word; “You are the light of the world.” Remember how on fire you were to tell others what happened to you when you first got saved? That is the reason I like sharing my testimony so much it takes me back to the day I met Jesus out on that highway. I love this story in Luke Chapter 24 how the two men were on the road to Emmaus and Jesus came along side of them and talked with them beginning with Moses and telling them all the things the Scriptures had to say about himself. And when their eyes were open to who He was, they said did not our hearts burn within us? John calls Him "the life that is the light of men," "the light that shines in the darkness" (John 1:4-5). That light is in us, His light, the Holy Spirit that lives within us. The apostle Paul speaks of "the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ" (2 Corinthians 4:4). We have that light shining through our lives if our actions reflect the nature of Christ, His love, compassion, and forgiveness. His light shines through our attitudes, words, and deeds. When people see that our lives have been changed, they will see Jesus in us, and see the power of God at work in us. In Hebrews 10: 32 the apostle Paul says, “but recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated.” Our hearts should burn with passion to tell others about Jesus and what he has done in our lives. When people look at us, are they seeing Jesus? Are we shining for Jesus? It is a choice we must make each day. We are to take up our cross daily and follow Jesus! It is up to us to be a light, and carry the anointing! It’s time for us to take the Church on the Road! Let us help you take the Church to your family, friends, & neighbors. Give us a call 618-383-2107. Let’s partner together in 2024 to reach the lost! ![]() Mark your calendars and come join us for our Annual Conference.

Sunday afternoon will be a time of great fellowship here at Lonesome Road Ministries. Everyone Welcome!!! Come join our family! One Easter Sunday morning as the pastor was preaching a children's sermon, he reached into his bag of props and pulled out an egg. He pointed at the egg and asked the children, "What's in here?" "I know, I know!" a little boy exclaimed, "pantyhose!" ![]() “Seeing the Invisible, Doing the Impossible,” is the title of this month’s message. This message by James Payne is truly one of our most requested CD’S/Podcast that we have. Most people who call in and request it refer to it as the “Titanic Message.” This is one of the most “Titanic” messages you will ever hear from any pastor or evangelist anywhere around the world. James did a ton of reading, researching to put this message together. You can hear the passion in his preaching as he shares this message. During this message James had them turn out the lights and use a search light to scan the crowd as he poured out his heart searching for lost souls when he was telling of the perils at sea the night the titanic sunk. You will want to get more copies of this message to share with your family and friends, and yes, we will be glad to send your more. Give us a call and ask, and yes, we have them on CD, podcast cards, and podcast. You can also download from our website Podcast page. The best way to get these are come join us here at Lonesome Road Ministries for our 3 Fold Cord Conference June 28, 29, 30.

Tim & Missy Kinchen (Chronicle) will be with us this year. This will be their first time at Lonesome Road Ministries so, make sure we all make them feel like part of the the family.

We have also gained a whole lot of great partners over the years like Roger Barkley Jr. and the Redemption Band, Sonshine Road, Ava Kasich, Tamie Pernie, David Wall, The McKay Project, T.J. & Helena Witherall & David Brown who are planning on being with us this year. We have many of our Channel 21 Road Chaplains that will be with us again this year. We have some that will be speaking this year also.

Let your pastor know we are in the area and available, 618.383.2107 Then Our Conference June 28,29,30 Lonesome Road Ministries 107 Sycamore St. Keenes, IL. Sept 19,20,21,22 the Truckers Jamboree in Brownstown, IL. Stay tune for more details!!! Contact us if you would like Lonesome Road Ministries & Roger Barkley to visit your church!! Six-year-old Ned's mother was looking through an old family Bible when an oak leaf fell out. Ned said, "I guess that must be Adam's shorts." ![]() Good News friends, 2024 is the acceptable year of the Lord!!! God is looking for a place to Happen! He is looking for willing vessels to fill up with His Spirit so that those vessels can pour out on OTHERS! I believe that God is wanting to anoint you, those who are a person after God's heart to be that vessel on the road or in your home town to preach the Gospel to all who will have an ear to hear. That doesn't mean you have to start a church where you are because wherever you are, you are the Church. The best sermon you could ever preach is your own testimony of how God brought you out of the darkness into His marvelous light. It's time for all of us to step into the next level that God is trying to raise us up too. God has brought us all together to be a family, and together we can do more than we ever thought or dreamed possible. The vision is clear we are to continue the work that God has given us to unite ministries and work together to reach Whosoever! Whenever! Wherever! & However! We are to continue to work with all the great ministries that are a part of this 3 Fold Cord and continue to bring in more Ministries, Churches, Christian Companies that want to make a difference in their employees and their employees’ families. Ecclesiastes 4:12 says; Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him and a threefold cord is not easily broken. Working together we can become stronger and do 10 times as much as working alone. In Psalms 133:1 the Bible says; Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! There is nothing the devil fears more than Christians who are united. This means that his number one tactic is to bring disunity in the Church. If he can succeed, then the Church is crippled. Let's continue to work together and watch God do what only God can do. We are going to see miracles happen in our lives, our Ministries, our Churches, our Businesses, and our Families. He wants to enlarge each one of us, but we must enlarge our vision and efforts. Last month I told you how God sent Rick Jey of Global Media OTT into our lives to help raise us up to the next level of streaming TV. This is an opportunity for all of us to go to that next level. If you are a singer, with music videos then send them to us. We are looking for quality videos of preaching or testimonies to air on Lonesome Road TV. Whatever you have that you think would be good for our TV channel then send them to us and let us review them and see if it will fit our format for Lonesome Road TV. You can send all videos to Roger Barkley JR. at his email [email protected] Roger is working tirelessly to upload programs to our TV channel and I’m sure when you check it out you will be amazed and surprised at the quality of programming that we already have uploaded to the channel. We are just getting started in this new venture and I know we are going to get some quality videos from some of our partners out there on that Ole Lonesome Road. The Bible says in Jude, And some have compassion making a difference. We might not make a difference to all those on the road but we can make a difference to the ones that do hear our radio, podcast, CD & now TV programs that we have on the road. Together we can make a difference touching and changing lives all across our home towns, across America and around the world with Lonesome Road Radio and Lonesome Road TV. The Bible says that one can put a thousand to flight, but two could put ten thousand to flight. If we work together in unity we can reach our area for Christ. We can make a difference in someone’s life today. God wants to do a new thing in each one of us, is anything too hard for God? We need your prayers & support to keep raising this ministry to the next level. Together we can do the impossible! Contact us and let us help you download our free radio app or walk you through downloading our streaming channel so you can share it with OTHERS!! 618.383.2107 or call Roger @ 502.382.8299 God Bless And We Will Talk At You Later! ![]() According to the Bible we must be born again in order to see (Heaven) the Kingdom of God. So as we close this year of 2023 and look forward to 2024 we have a lot of work to do and we need your help more than ever. This message we have sent to you this month is so that you can share it with family, friends, & neighbors. Time is getting short and we must do everything we can to see our family and friends make it to heaven. God continues to put people in our path to help us get the gospel in as many hands as we can. We recently went to the Petro Truck Stop Chapel as they were having their drivers appreciation and we got to meet some great people at the chapel. One person we met there was Rick Jey. I believe God sent him there to meet us so that we could team up and work together to reach more people with the Gospel. Rick has a streaming company called GIAJ Global Media OTT Network. Rick has offered us our very own streaming channel on his network for Lonesome Road TV. What is this going to look like and what are we going to be able to do with this channel? That's a good question? I called my partner Roger Barkley Jr. of Barkley Media and got him involved and he has been working tirelessly on programming our radio programs into video so that we can have all kinds of streaming programs to air. I think you are going to be surprised at how great a job Roger has done getting these radio programs so they can be viewed on TV. These programs are going into all the world on Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV. When you search Global Media OTT Network you will find Lonesome Road TV on their streaming network. Right now we have some of our TV programs airing on our channel that we did several years ago on RIG TV in West Plains Mo on Dan Duncan's channel. We also have Tony Mac McMullen Video testimony on our channel, along with some great music videos from some of our partners here at Lonesome Road Ministries. The possibilities are limitless as God continues to orchestrate Lonesome Road Ministries. I am looking forward to being able to stream our 3 Fold Cord Conference in the future along with having some of our interviews live here at Lonesome Road Ministries. This month we are sending out both the CD & our podcast card so you can check them out and decide which mailing list will best fit you. Even if you are on the podcast card mailing list we will still be glad to send you CD’S to pass out, all you have to do is ask and we will send CD’S & Podcast to share with OTHERS! Our world is changing and we are streaming toward the return of Jesus! We have to be prepared and we have to prepare our family,friends, & neighbors. It will take all of us working together to make a difference in the lives of those around us. Here at Lonesome Road Ministries we are now sending out CD’S, Podcast Cards, like the one we sent you in this month’s CD & newsletter.

Wow what a great message by our good friend and brother in Christ Chaplain Charles Stephens. When we surrender our lives to Christ we are giving Him permission to put us on the potter’s wheel and mold us into what He wants us to be. We are that lump of clay on God's Wheel of Life and no matter what we do, no matter what mistakes we make, God will not throw that clay away. When we fall off the wheel He just picks us up and molds it again trying to make us into what we need to be for Him, to serve Him. In Jeremiah 18 it says, “the word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord saying arise go to The Potter's House and there I will cause you to hear my words,” God is telling each and every one of us arise and go to the Potter's house and He is going to speak to us. He is going to cause us to hear His words. When He gets us in the place that we're ready to listen,that is when He can mold us into the vessel that He will use. No matter what you're going through, or what is happening in your life, God wants to mold you into something that He can use. It doesn't matter who you are or what you've done, God is ready to move you into something special if you will allow him to do that, but, we have to get to the place where we can hear God and let him speak to us and He will do it. In Isaiah chapter 6, I just love this scripture here, it says “I heard the voice of the Lord saying whom shall I send and who will go for us then I said here am I send me and He said go and tell the people.” That is God speaking to each and everyone of us!! Go and Tell OTHERS! God wants to raise you up and mold you back into something that He can use, and He will do it if we allow him to. I love the verse in the second Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17 this is one of the most powerful verses you'll ever hear and it says, “therefore if any man being in Christ he is a new creature old things are passed away behold, all things become new.” Isaiah 64:8 says, “But now, O Lord, You are our Father, We are the clay, and You our potter; and all of us are the work of Your hand.” Charles message title is,”The Clay is you.” Friends we are the clay we must come to a place of surrender and allow God to mold us into the vessel that He can use. We must let go and Let God have complete control of our lives. Lonesome Road Radio has an app in your app store on your phone. Please download the app!

God's Professional Fighters![]() If a professional fighter is determined to win they enter the ring prepared. They have a plan of attack – a strategy that will penetrate their opponent’s defences. What’s more, they have strong resolve to keep fighting if they get knocked down. Winning fighters don’t give up; they get back up, reassess and keep on fighting until the bell rings. Teachers of God’s Word are like professional fighters – if they are determined to win souls to Christianity they need to be prepared. If they continue to step into the pulpit unprepared, pandering to minority groups, or intimidated by members of the congregation, it won’t be long before they are ‘KNOCKED OUT’ from the pulpit. Teachers of God’s Word should keep in mind their job is not to win friends but to win over people to God’s way of thinking. God’s teachers must hit with the Truth, employing various techniques of exhortation and encouragement. Sometimes the Truth will bruise, but the pulpit is no place for pussy-footing or pulling punches – God’s Word should never be watered down or adjusted for political correctness. For these reasons, God’s fighters will often get knocked down. When this inevitably happens, they should not listen to the ‘boos’ or ‘cheers’ of the crowd. The only voice to heed is that of their coach (the Holy Spirit). When knocked down, great spiritual fighters will always get back up, reassess the situation, retrain as needed and return to the pulpit ever faithful to God’s plan. Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 Luke 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. ![]() October marks 23 years in ministry. Lonesome Road Ministry was founded in October 2000. From a Cassette Tape Ministry to a CD Ministry, to Podcast Ministry to Radio programs, to now we have our own radio station. There has been so many ups and downs. As you listen to our October Podcast/CD, I will share the first times when I was ready to give up and quit. I called my mentor Ray Sisk and told him the church I was attending and had started the tape ministry at, had decided I could no longer do a tape ministry. I was in tears when I called Ray and he told me that day, and I will never forget his words. Ray said, “Son you done put your hands to the plow, If God has called you to do a tape ministry, then you do a tape ministry. Don’t let no one tell you you can’t. If you’re sure God has called you to do a tape ministry then you do it out of your house, your garage, or wherever you can. You must do what God has called you to do.’ Fast forward 23 years later and over 3 million cassette tapes, CD’S and now we are switching to making Collector Cards with a QR code on the back that folks can scan with their phones and bluetooth into their vehicles to listen to our podcast. I remember when we switched from Cassettes to CDs for quite some time we were producing both tapes and CD’s until the tapes were eventually not requested. That is where we find ourselves at again. We are making CD’s and the Collector cards both and we will continue to make both as long as there is a demand for CD’S. We will continue to make the CD’s for those who still want them. But we need your help ! Due to winter we have so many damaged and broken CD’S, starting in 2024 we will try and start sending out newsletters and the podcast cards. So if you would like to continue to receive the CD’s just drop us a line in the blue envelope provided and we will make sure you receive your CD. We want to be good stewards with your money you send us. The postage and cost of CD’s continues to rise. So we need your help! November & December we will be sending out CD’S & Newsletters same as always. We are willing to continue sending out the CD’s to all who are listening and passing them on so don’t hesitate to let us know your preference, CD’S or Podcast Cards. But we do need to hear from each of our listeners by 2024. We refuse to quit! There is no place to quit when you sign on to serve God. God called us to this ministry and we will continue to reach the lost, broken hearted and confused souls all across America and into all the world with this media ministry. The vision of Lonesome Road Ministry has not changed, the methods may change but the message stays the same. We are to go out into the highways & hedges and compel others to the Lord. Using whatever tools God places in our hands, CD’s, Podcast Cards, Bibles, Testimony Books, Radio Programs and now Lonesome Road Radio! Together we can make a difference in the lives of OTHERS The Card Above is to help others find our Radio Station and the card below is to invite others to our Conference call line. We are also partnering with the Midnite Crusaders to stretch a net across America. Come join us and be a part of our growing family. We can send you these to share!!!

The easiest portrait for an artist to paint is a self-portrait. The artist intimately knows their own features and all they need is themselves, a mirror and the right light. Plus, when the artist is ready to paint, they are always ready to model. Added to this, they have the luxury of reworking their own image until it is exactly the way they want.
On the other hand, there are numerous problems painting someone else’s portrait. The subject may not be available when the artist is ready to paint. The subject may be a fidgety model. Then, on completion, the subject is rarely satisfied with the finished result. As Christians, we should be constantly working on our own “soul-portrait”. We do this by looking into the Mirror-of-the-Word, illuminating ourselves in the Light-of-Truth, and painting with Brushes-of-Faith. The more we practice the better our technique and our soul-portrait will be composed of graceful inner beauty and coloured with Christ-like attributes. However, as we work on our own portrait there is always the temptation to dabble in other people’s paintings. When we hear an inspiring message we think someone we know needs to be hearing this. Or, when we read a compelling article we apply it to someone else – instead of ourselves. It’s not a bad thing to want loved ones to hear messages that have personally impacted us, but the problem comes when we get frustrated when they show lack of interest. The fact is they may not be ready for that information at their present stage of growth. We should stop dabbling in other people’s portraits and concentrate on our own Christian image. As long as we are alive we are a work in progress. If we use the right techniques, eventually our soul-portrait will have a striking resemblance to that of Christ and when we exhibit ourselves to the world people will start asking (without coercion) what joyful colours and inspirational methods we used, so they can apply them to their own soul-portraits. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17. |
Gary RayburnI logged over 4 million miles as a truck driver from 1972 - 2007 and I have written a lot of it in my songs. God has taken me off the road and put me into full time ministry, but I still have a heart for all you drivers out there. Archives
