Second Wind Ministry - Thom and Deb Slaughter

When Thom came to a crossroad in his life and answered the call of the Holy Spirit, he came out of the country music field and began singing Gospel music for the Lord.  The name "Second Wind" came as he felt God speak to his heart, saying "Your first wind has been used for you.  I will give you a second wind.  Go use it for Me."

What is a revival? For many it's an increased spiritual interest or renewal in your faith; for others it's about being "born again" through realizing Jesus Christ for as their personal savior. Jesus said, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born again"  (John 3:3)

Covered dish suppers were served both evenings, beginning at 5:00 pm, prior to the 7:00 pm revival services.  Cottagers and guests brought their favorite home cooking to share with others. and enjoyed a special ice cream social, following Sunday's concert.  Tours of a few Victorian Cottages were available a half hour prior to each nights revival service.  For more information on our Camp Meeting Weekend, click here!
