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.

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.

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 rcbharp@gmail.com 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.

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!

Let us help you be all that God has called you to be. Let’s work together to reach your family. God's Professional FightersIf 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.

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. Mark 10:52 . And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way. The first move always belongs to us. It’s a choice what we do with this Man called Jesus when we hear about him. This story of Blind Bartimaeus has so much in it. When he heard that it was Jesus coming down the road Bartimaeus had to make a choice in his heart what he was going to do. Each day, each week we have to make a choice what are we going to do with this man called Jesus that lives in our heart. It is a choice. Soon as Bartimaeus heard that it was Jesus he cried out to Jesus, many charged him to be quiet but he just cried out even louder because he knew this was his one chance to be healed. Then the Bible says Jesus heard him and stood still. That is what happens when we cry out to Jesus with all our heart, Jesus hears our cries and he stands still. We get his attention when we cry out all the louder. What happens next is amazing, Jesus calls him and the blind man cast off his beggars coat, that identified him as a beggar. Jesus is calling many of you today and it is time for you to cast off those chains that are holding you back from achieving what Jesus is calling you to do! When this man cast away his coat he knew he was never going to need that anymore. Jesus said what do you need? What can I do for you? The blind man said, “ Lord, that I might receive my sight.” Jesus said, “ go thy way, thy faith has made you whole.” The Bible says, and immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way. Today is the 1st day of the rest of your life. What are you going to do with this man Called Jesus? What is Lonesome Road Radio all about? We are not your ordinary radio station that’s for sure. We not only play our Church on the Road program that you are use to hearing on our CD’s but you also get to hear lots more of our music partners songs and testimonies. We not only air our hour programs but we have 30 minute programs, 8 minute programs 90 second jumpstarts throughout the day. We try and blend it all in to our programs that run 24 hrs a day. We also run other programs from partners of Lonesome Road Ministries. We have lots of great partners jumping on board our radio station. Sonshine Road has a program called “There’s Hope” that runs Monday & Saturday nights at 9 pm each week. Bruce Phelps has a program called “The KFC Hour” that runs Saturday’s at 11 am & 11pm each week. We also have my home Church (Orchardville Church) services that run 4 times each week, Monday’s at 2am & 2pm and Thursday’s at 2am & 2pm. Cliff Clark also is a big part of our programming he does a couple different programs “Wait a Minute” a short devotion that runs periodically throughout the week and a little longer devotion that also runs through the week called “Just Saying.” Since the CD’S are being phased out we have had to search for new ways to continue placing the Good News in the hands of those out there on that Ole Lonesome Road. We have invented the collector cards to use in those vehicles that doesn’t have CD Players. This cards introduce the person speaking and you not only get to hear them but you can also see their picture and read a short bio about them. This card has a QR code you can scan and listen to the program on your cell phone or bluetooth into your vehicle or television.

Ecclesiastes 4:12 Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken" It’s still crazy!! We started our 3 Fold Cord Conference over 10 years ago in Carmi, IL and I thought this is crazy! It was and still is to this date. We had people drive hundreds of miles to come to our conference to sing, praise the Lord, give testimony and to hear powerful speakers. What started out as a one day conference quickly became a three day conference, because we had so many that were excited and glad to be there that we started a day early and ran for 3 days. This year we had over 100 people who came from 18 different states just to be a part of this crazy 3 Fold Cord Conference. The Lonesome Road family has an incredible bunch of people that just love Jesus so much that they will come from hundreds of miles away and donate their time, talent, and money to make sure that our conference is a success and that Lonesome Road Ministries is able to continue sharing the Gospel through our CD/Podcast programs, our radio programs and now our very own internet radio station. Lonesome Road Radio to this date has reached all across America and we have went into over 32 different Countries. I give God all the credit for this successful ministry, because he continues to send people into this ministry to help us reach all around the world. In 2015 God sent a man of God to help raise us up to levels I never thought or even dreamed of. In 2015 my wife was laid off and my salary got cut in half. So we had lost almost 70% of our pay. I told my wife Linda we would try and hang on till the conference was over in June, then I would have to find me a job somewhere else just so we could survive. It looked like the ministry was coming to an end. Long story short, God sent a man of God into my life by the name of James Payne and saved our ministry. I remember James told me that weekend God had sent him to help me if I would just listen to him. I told James that day, “I’m all ears.” He said, “you send out newsletters and CD’S every month, but you don’t put a donation envelope in with them.” I said, “well I don’t think I should ask for donations.” James explained putting a donation envelope is not asking for money, it is letting people know that we need help doing what God has called us to do. It also allows them to plant seed in fertile ground and sets them up for God to bless them. Since that time our donations have kept this ministry alive and also planted us in our very own building which was paid for by donations. James has been with us ever since 2015 and he comes every year and gives his time, talent and gifts to Lonesome Road Ministry helping us to continue what God has called us to do. I have heard a lot of James Payne messages and he talks about sowing into ministry. All those messages I have heard from James Payne I have never heard him ask for money for James Payne Ministries. He is always asking for OTHERS! That is the kind of people that we have here at Lonesome Road Ministries. So we thank you for all your love & support you pour into our ministry and all those who are part of Lonesome Road Ministries. If you are looking for good fertile ground to plant seeds in, you will find it through Lonesome Road Ministries and Lonesome Road Radio. Please help each one of our friends and family as they continue to do what God has called them to do. Let’s get crazy for God!!! see answer below!Have you heard of KFC Hour?

I think this is our 6th year in a row that we have got the opportunity to minister in this wonderful Church. I hope if you’re close by you will join us for this great weekend. This year Joe Arview has agreed to come with us and help minister to the folks in the area. Call Pastor Jeff Lewis for details or directions. 260-610-5133 What an awesome conference we had this year. It was our 10th 3 Fold Cord Conference and everyone agreed it was the best one yet! We had folks from 18 different states show up to praise the Lord. Lonesome Road Ministries is blessed to have an incredible family. We had a full house both Friday & Saturday and some of the most delicious food. Everyone came because they wanted to be there and no one got paid to sing or preach. Everyone was there to pour out into Lonesome Road Ministries and the generosity was overwhelming. Enough money was donated so that we can continue on. We raised money for 2 duplicators and we just ordered 30,000 more podcast cards to distribute all across the country. We also raised enough money to pay for our radio station another year, so I want to encourage everyone to tune into LonesomeRoadRadio.com. The Podcast cards and the radio station is the future of Lonesome Road Ministries. If we are to continue, (and Yes we are to continue) we have to start promoting our Cards & Radio Station. We had such a great weekend I can’t tell you everything, but it was an awesome time. Hopefully we got some of it recorded, but we did have some recording issues. This may be one of those times you had to be there. It was streamed on Pure Gospel Media. It was also streamed on Lonesome Road Facebook Podcast page. If you didn’t get to watch it you still can. It was reported they had over 6,000 views. Everyone wanted to meet more than once a year so we have scheduled Ava Kasich & Tamie Pernie for Aug. 18th. Come join us!!! Do you know? Answer at bottom of newsletter! Why didn’t they play cards on the Ark? - Because Noah was always standing on the deck!
Matthew 12:30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad" Great Message this month with Dave Wall & Pat Bayman. Dave came from Michigan & Pat came from Ohio, just to be a part of Lonesome Road Radio & our Podcast/CD program. We really had a great couple of days and hated to see them leave, but the good news is they will be back for our 3 Fold Cord Conference June 23.24.25. The message by David on this program is so powerful, I felt compelled to share it with everyone on this month’s podcast/CD. It reminded me of a story I read in the “Real Life Stories Book Truckers Edition,” on page 65. If you don’t have one of these great testimony books contact me and I will ship you your very own copy. We have too many who are sitting on the fence. In Matthew 12:30 Jesus says, “He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.” It’s time to get off the fence and Go for Jesus!

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
