That's a real church. That's where God changes lives. Love to see that.
Thank you for sharing
Bless your sweet sister! Praying God’s blessings over this church family!
This is our home! My favorite place in the whole world 😊 we live just outside the park entrance a couple of miles. It is nice to see a positive presentation of our area. You have shown the world our natural beauty and not tried to portray us and our home as some backwoods with an illiterate people. Enjoying your travels. My husband and I do much the same only we don't do the camper thing anymore. You all come back now😊
Loved listening to the preacher. 🙏
Loved the video! Such a beautiful church that is still sharing the love of Jesus. Thank you for introducing us to your sister and brother-in-law and the work they are doing in their community. Blessings to y’all!
WOW that just Blessed my heart at the end of the video that he was your brother in law that Mike was talking to and we got to meet your sister as well... so very Blessed and all of you preaching the Word of our Dear Lord JESUS.... GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Wow, thanks for sharing, my brother lives in Letcher Co in a little town called Whitesburg. We live a few counties away in Johnson co, in a little town called Paintsville, 30 miles from Pikeville Ky. We really enjoyed watching this. I would love to see all our churches full like they were years ago. God Bless you and Karen and we pray for safe travels.❤️
Great video. What a wonderful family of godly men. I always enjoy small churches which are so welcoming.
Blessing to you n Karen n thanks for sharing your family with us n the church service ...
I go to church like that and my Pastor Sam Hayes is from North Carolina and he went to an Old Regular Baptist church in his younger years. My church is Grace Baptist Church of Sevierville, TN. We're a praying church and my Pastor preaches fire and brimstone and from the King James Bible. Seeing the church made me feel at home. God's blessings to you and your Family and also to the Pastor of the church and his Congregation. 😁💖🙏🙌
Beautiful Church!😊❤
Awesome, praise God
I go to a small church and love it these people are like family I make hand drawn cards for every member for their birthday anniversary get well symphothy cards I design them then color them I feel I have been called to do this
What a really nice brother in law to have. And both sister’s married to Pastor’s 😊. I liked how he made the definition between believing in God and knowing Jesus Christ. Loved the video. ✝️🤲
Yes! Thank you!
Wow!! Always love yalls videos, but this one here is amazing, love the history of this little town.
That was a lovely visit. Thanks
Great video. I really enjoyed meeting your brother in law and Karen’s sister. Interesting facts about the old coal towns.
Wonderful! 😊
Wonderful video! Love y'all and your ministry.
The church reminds me of the small Methodist church that I grew up in, singing out of the little red Cokesbury hymnal.
Amazing thank you for sharing!!
Best video to date!!!
Awesome video, awesome testimony! 😊
Good stuff. Brings me back to a hint of better times of community and God and Jesus. Our country as a whole has lost their way, we need to get back to that connection.
Praise God, praise God, what a blessing to have shared the day with you and go to Church. Christ my Lord and Savior knew I needed that rich spiritual word very much. Just to keep the faith and keep your eyes upon Jesus. It was wonderful to meet David and his wife, Wendy. I will say South West Virginia grows some beautiful folks. Rock of Ages, love that hymn. Hugs for Winston, All My Love , Always,
Great video!
that was a very awesome video. Really enjoyed meeting. Your sister Karen, and the story behind your brother-in-law…. these are kind of videos. I really enjoy people that love the Lord. Thanks for sharing and God bless you.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for sharing. God bless.
I really love this and i am a Christian Love from Pakistan God bless and protect you always in the name of Jesus Amen i love you

How amazing both sisters married pastors. What a blessing thank you for serving our lord and savior.
Thank you for sharing.
That was a great video. Nice to meet part of your family too.
Thank you!
Wow that’s wonderful! I was hoping y’all were gonna do more with them! That was definitely too short of a visit. 😊 God bless their ministry
Thank you for the comment
I truly enjoyed this video. It was so nice to meet Karen’s sister & brother-in-law. I would’ve loved to hear his whole sermon, but there’s too many time restraints to that. I did love hearing his background & how Mike had influence in helping him become a preacher.
It’s a shame that the families in the small town where he preaches are living in poor conditions, & the attendance at the church is so low.
God bless him for continuing to open the church doors no matter how large or small the attendance is. ♥️
Hey 😊👋 Friday's Forever 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍👍👍👍
Hey guys! Thank you so much.
We have 3 ministers in our family. It’s been a blessing to us. It was nice when we had family reunions, it was like having a church service prior to breakfast and dinner. They have since passed away, seeing this video makes me miss them even more.❤
Great memories Helen. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks for sharing this. I imagine the folks left have a tough go of it with the mines closed. Very interesting listening to the pastor. Thx
Our pleasure and thank you for watching.
Thank you for sharing this video. It reminds me of some of the churches I went to as a child. Love you ❤

Glad you enjoyed it! Our pleasure.
Thanks for sharing and may God bless you.
You are so welcome! God bless.
And I'm not the most religious person at all. But this is where God actually dwells
Thank you for sharing
Backsliding does not mean losing your salvation. Once you come to Christ you are saved permanently. You are in right standing with God through the blood of Jesus. That is called righteousness. It's a gift that is given freely. You cannot earn it or work for it. Therefore you cannot ever lose your right standing with God.
Just got back form pigeon forge. we kept an eye out for yall. None the less no Fridays forever van camper to be seen. Ha! We were watching.
Hello 👋 ❤
