--Ray Fairman

“If you walked into Wal-Mart and saw someone of another race, you really weren’t sure how they were going to relate to you…some, not sure what to do with the tension in their community would avoid public contact, that’s changed.  That has been replaced with a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood, even in Wal-Mart.”
-- Dominick DiCarlo, Pastor, First Baptist Church, Jena

"There’s absolutely nothing you can do to clean yourself up and that’s what was being offered, you know, that night through salvation.  A chance to be redeemed, a chance for someone to take and wash up and I just didn’t want anybody to pass that up."
-- Byron Hogan, www.WildhorseMinistries.com

“I’ve got to do what God lays on my heart”
“I just want to be a common every day old man that God is using”

"God was moving and neither of us knew what to do other than get out of the way."
"We’ve simply presented the gospel in song, presented the gospel in His word and preaching and allowed God to work."
--Craig Franklin, Assistant Editor, Jena Times

God always moves when people are desperate for Him.  Earnestly seeking Him in prayer with a willingness to repent, confess sin, and walk in obedience to Him, no matter the cost.

--Curtis Gardner

--Ray Fairman

--Taylor Allen

“Anywhere in the Word of God where someone came in contact with Jehovah God,… we see a brokenness occur, we see a humbleness that takes place…”
“For me to do or to say something that is not led by God jeopardizes the movement of God in that service.”
-- Craig Franklin, Assistant Editor, Jena Times

"Once you experience the power of God, nothing else satisfies you – nothing else."
-- Craig Franklin, Assistant Editor, Jena Times

“I watched as his family began praying for him…they would call out his name night after night after night…I watched as God began dealing with this man…that’s one image I’ll never forget, when I watched that man let go and embrace Jesus.”
-- Craig Franklin, Assistant Editor, Jena Times
