Catching Up The News

Sometimes you get so busy doing the work that you do not have time to share what all you are doing. I want to take a few minutes to catch you up on what we have been doing.
On Sunday March 4th we were with Pastor Tim Perry and the folks at Calvary Baptist Temple in East Bernstadt, KY. They have supported this ministry for many years. We celebrated Pastor Perry's 9th anniversary as pastor. It was a good day and great fellowship with dinner on the grounds in the old fashion way.





On Wednesday March 7th Saundra and I were at Tabernacle Baptist Church in Nicholasville, KY with Pastor Lonnie Moore. They began their Annual Missions Conference. Pastor Moore and the congregation at Tabernacle Baptist Church have supported our work for over 20 years now. The church is a soul-winning - mission-minded church. They are faithful in all they do.



Representative Keith Hall will be featured on "We Want America Back" Radio Ministry for the next two programs. They begin today, March 10th, and run through March 23rd. Go to http://www.brotherjoeadams.com/wwab-idx.html and click on Keith Hall and you can hear the first program. You will really like the testimony of this young man. He has served in our legislature since 2000. He is a Sunday School teacher and Lay-Preacher.

Keith was Born July 3, 1959. He represents Pike County and is CEO, President, Founder, Benetech Mining Materials, Inc. Attended University of Kentucky and Pikeville College. Co-founder, Kentucky Hope. Co-founder, Hope, Inc. Right to Life.


Gordon Klingenschmitt (pictured to the far right on the picture) was with us in our Legislative Prayer Breakfast on March 7th. The picture is of (from Left to Right) Brother Joe, Governor Ernie Fletcher and Gordon Klingenschmitt. Rev. Klingenschmitt was the Navy Lieutenant that prayed in public in uniform in Jesus Name and was court marshaled for doing so. Rev. Klingenschmitt's case was responsible for removing this policy but they did not make it retroactive and he was honorably discharged from the Navy on March 1st. Please pray for him as the case is being appealed. Pray he can be reinstated. He has lost his career and a million dollar pension after 16 years of honorable service to our Lord and his country. He said, "I would do it all over again for my faith".

I am sorry, but you are totally mistaken about the honor of Gordon Klingenschmitt. Facilitating his appearance before the Kentucky legislature was not a very wise thing to do.

Gordon Klingenschmitt prayed while committing a Federal crime. The fact that he prayed during the commission of his crime does not alter the fact that he committed a crime. Gordon Klingenschmitt was convicted of the commission of a Federal crime--NOT FOR PRAYER! It is time for Klingenschmitt to finally come clean and begin telling the truth about what happened and why. He was convicted at a Court Martial because he committed a dishonorable act.

I am a Navy Chaplain who routinely publicly prays in uniform in Jesus' Name without any problems whatsoever. I know scores of other Navy chaplains who continue to pray publicly in Jesus' Name with absolutely no difficulties. It is completely dishonest for Klingenschmitt to paint the Navy as a place of relgious persecution and repression. Klingenschmitt took up his cause after he was found to be a sub-standard Navy officer. Klingenschmitt's former supervisor, a Navy Captain (O-6) & former Marine Officer, testified under oath that Klingenschmitt was the most dishonest & dishonorable officer he has ever known.

The Klingenschmitt story is simply one of a man who was failing as an officer who cried persecution in an effort to take the focus off his poor performance
