AT VA HOSPITAL IN COLUMBIA, SC

VISITING THE DORN VA HOSPITAL IN COLUMBIA SC
John Green, Pastor Tony Green's Son took these pictures for me and did a great job.
The first vets that I met outside of the hospital

The Administration was so friendly,
really made me feel welcome, and were
so helpful in getting me around to the troops.
Pastor Tommy Cole did a good job of stetting it up.

Fox news from Columbia showed up and
I was able to give a testimony for the Lord,
and alert the community to our Vet' needs.

This is the lobby of the hospital

Our tour guide that took us around
to all the rooms of those that could not
come and see me entertain them.


Jacky Bayne went with me to the Hospital
where he had spent so many months recovering.

Some of the over 300 tracts passed out,
were passed out in the lobby before we
were taken to the rooms.
ENTERTAINING THE TROOPS
Entertaining the troops. They did not do a good
job of promoting the show, but it got us into the rooms.


VISITING THE TROOPS IN THEIR ROOMS
THE PICTURES SAY IT ALL.



This is the officical cat Lucky that visits the troops.

THANKING THE STAFF IS MY PRIVILEDGE
This Lil Lady is a big Duke fan and
just had to wear on of my hats.

Of the over 300 tracts passed out, about 50 were
given to the staff that takes care of our Vets.
They are the most dedicated people I have ever met.












A WEEK IN SOUTH CAROLINA

REVIVAL AT DOUGLAS ROAD BAPTIST

FIRST STOP - A shut in Aunt Annie 91 years old.
and a big John Wayne fan. The Coles help take care of her.

The Sign at Douglas Road Baptist

Pastor Tommy Cole
Doing a great job at a litte country church.

Pas. Cole and Billy Foxx

Billy did a great job of leading the singing
for the revival, and singing specials during the week.

Here is Tommy and Margaret Cole
She is such a blessing to meet and to the Ministry.

We had a good crowd all 6 days of the Revival


One of the 6 that the Lord saved that week

Two souls saved, and many decisions were made.
We had a great revival meeting with them.

MEETING A SOLDIER THAT WAS PRONOUNCE DEAD TWICE

Jacky Bayne was pronunced dead twice in Vietnam,
but when the Morgue went to embalm him he came
back to life, much to their amazement.
A book was written about him,(now out of print)
and newspapers all over the world wrote front
page articles, and the Baynes recieved get well cards,
and letters from all over the world.

Jacky was a dog handler and was on point for a patrol,
when his over worked and tire K9 Bruno stepped on a mine.
The dog was killed and Jackys leg was almost blown off, and
received shapnel wounds all over his body.

He was awarded the Bronze Star and other medals.
He is a devout Baptist and has such a good Spirit and
after all that happend to him, he has a great attitude towards life.

This picture of the Vietnam Wall hangs in his house.
I took a picture of it, and if you look close you can
see my reflection in the glass.

Patsy Bayne fell in love with Jacky during his recovery
at the VA Hospital in Columbia. They were
married after he was released. I am sorry that I did not
get a better picture of Patsy, she is a
beautiful lady inside and out.



PREACHING AT AN ASSISTED LIVING CENTER


The Administrator was also a Big Duke Fan.

I preached to a gathering of the residents,
and 4 of them received Christ as Savior.

This is the Brother of the Admisistrator. A big Duke
fan and he owns a used car lot for 20 years in Lancaster.
I presente him with one of my picture tracts.

VA HOME IN KY AND VA HOSPITAL IN CINCINATTI

VISITING THE VA NURSING HOME IN KY

The Lil Lady in the picture, I wish I had written
d0wn her name, I have a hard time remembering names,
invited us into the VA nursing home across the Ohio line in Ky.

The pictures tell the story themselves, but here I
am passing out picture tracts before putting on a
show for those that were able to come down.

Because I could not go though the Chaplin,
I could not preach, but I did the first part of the
"Freedom and Sacrifice" message uplifting our Vets,
and then gave my testimony of what the Lord
did for me and for John Wayne.

They were able to do the video behind me.

The Lady on the left is another one that helped us.

ON TO THE VA HOSPITAL LATER THAT AFTERNOON

I did put on a show there too and gave out tracts.

Then we went to all the floors and rooms
thanking the vets for their service and passing
out over 300 tracts in the hospital.

Some are able to walk around

Here is a Lil Lady that is a Vet.

Of course I always thank the staff for
their service to the Vets and also give them
a picture.

It was quite moving to see the pics on this board
of what the Vets looked like in the their prime.


This is a Vietnam Vet that was a real hero.
He carried a fellow wounded soldier under
fire to safety and saved his life. He is one of the
most patriotic Americans I have ever met, and
a real hero. I spent about 10 minutes talking to
him and listening to his stories. Thank God for
Americans like this that have sacrificed and love
our country.

This is some that were outside the Hospital

I could not have done this without Pastor Horsley of
Temple Baptist
had his Secretary set it up and
he carried my tracts and water bottle for me all over the Hospital.
Also a big thanks to Tom Morgan, my friend that lives in the
Cincinnati area that took all the pictures you viewed.
