REVELATION BIBLE CONFERENCE

A Super Week-end: Saturday night and Sunday!

SIX ONE HOUR SESSIONS

Or

Four days: Sunday morning through Wednesday night!

EIGHT 55-MINUTE SESSIONS

THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO GO

Revelation Illuminated

THE SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY OPTION: We go through the whole book of Revelation, verse-by-verse, Sunday night through Wednesday night. Sunday morning Beverly usually gives her testimony and sings. I share a brief word that gets the people excited and motivated not to miss a session.  Most of the time it works. There are two 55-minute sessions each night, with a fifteen-minute break between the two sessions. We drive in on Saturday and park our motor home on the church parking grounds, prepared for a big day Sunday.

Or

THE WEEK-END OPTION: Instead of eight (8) 55-minute sessions over four days, we have six (6) one hour sessions in two days. Two sessions Saturday night with a fifteen minute break between the two sessions. One session replacing the Sunday School hour on Sunday morning, and one session replacing the morning worship hour. Then we close out with two sessions Sunday night, with a fifteen minute break between the two sessions. 

We have found that it works best to meet around tables in the fellowship center with light refreshments during the break. However, the sanctuary is fine if we don't have refreshments. No congregational singing or promotion necessary. Beverly sings a song or two each session. We focus on exciting, inspirational bible teaching geared for the 21^st century with computer-generated graphics projected on a large screen. We also provide free copies of our Seven Secrets to Understanding the Book of Revelation and our Table of the Symbols and Definitions of over 100 key words in the book. We provide the large screen, computer, and projector when needed. 

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a vision is worth a thousand pictures. The Book of Revelation is made simple and exciting as the visions given to the Apostle John are illuminated by computer generated graphics projected on a large screen. Even young people and the “Now” generation of today become captivated by it once they get an insight into its modern day relevance. While our Revelation Bible Conferences may not take the place of a revival, they can be made just as evangelistic in a contemporary way.

We travel in a 40 foot, self contained, diesel pusher motor coach, and usually park on the church grounds. We make no financial demands, stipulations, or even requests concerning travel expense, room and board allowance, or honorarium. However, we would welcome a love offering for our ministry.

Being full-time vocational evangelists it is our privilege, to live by faith, travel by faith, and ministry by faith. All financial matters are left entirely in the hands of the church. When possible we try to book our meetings within 600 miles of other meetings. However, let’s not let travel be an issue. We would not confirm a date unless we felt like it would fit into our schedule and we could drive the distance.   

We will be responsible for all our meals in the motor coach. However, we would be happy AFTER the services, to go out for a meal, or refreshments and fellowship. We love to become personally acquainted with the people.

Anytime we need to communicate, email us at cmesinc@earthlink.net, or call us on the cell: 214-801-7383.  More information is available on our web site: www.massegee.org.  

Relative to our Revelation Bible Conferences:

• We teach the pre-millennial, pre-tribulation rapture of the church, and while no one knows when it may occur, we believe it could be any day. There is no date setting, and we are mindful to respect other people’s opinion. It’s not who is right, but what is right that matters. I am open to having a better understanding. I want to learn.

• This exciting study builds up the ministry of the pastor, and addresses just about every challenge facing the church today.
• The Book of Revelation is a book of hope, forgiveness, direction, and victory.
• A proper perspective of the return of Christ will give us a proper perspective of how to live our life at its fullness.    
• The focus of the Book is the Person of Jesus Christ, how He relates to and affects history, beginning with the first coming of Christ, and ending with the Second Coming of Christ.
• It is a Book of glorious hope and encouragement, showing God’s love and forgiveness even in the midst of His wrath and judgment.
• The Book conveys to the whole world that Jesus is God, is all sovereign in every situation, and His ultimate will shall be done in spite of the disobedience of man.
• You will see the Book of Revelation more clearly than ever before. Professional illustrator Pat Marvenko Smith has artistically represented the fantastic visions as seen by the Apostle John and recorded in this Book. These pictures are computer-generated on a large screen to enhance this inspirational study. We carry with us a large screen, projector, and computer. Of course, we would be happy to use the churches if available. We also will have our P.A. system if needed.
• There is a real urgency today to be aware of Islam, Allah, and the antichrist in prophecy, as they are reveled so vividly in the Book of Revelation. WE BEST NOT KEEP OUR CHRISTIAN FRIENDS UNINFORMED ON THE MESSAGE OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION AS IT RELATES TO US TODAY.

Thank God for His Keeping Power

While many are able to share a beautiful testimony of a dramatic conversion from a hard life of sin to a daily walk with Jesus, Charles Massegee humbly thanks God for His keeping power. A power that raised Charles in a loving family that has long been devoted to Christ and the ministry. “Massegee” in Welsh means, “messenger,” and the Massegees have been God’s messengers from the pulpit around the world for generations. Charles’ grandfather and father were evangelists and also were pastors of Southern Baptist Churches for over 140 years combined, both preaching until they were almost 90 years old.

Charles gave his life to Christ when he was only nine years old in his father’s church. At the age of eighteen, he answer God’s call to preach the gospel of Christ. That same year he was licensed by the Second Baptist Church and ordained to the ministry at the New Hope Baptist Church in Ranger, Texas. He helped organize the Eastside Baptist Church in Ranger at the age of nineteen and was their first pastor. Because of football stardom and hundreds of invitations to preach revival meetings, he entered full-time vocational evangelism. He completed his education at Hardin Simmons University in Abilene, Texas and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. Since then he has averaged over 30 revival crusades a year. Charles was elected President for an unprecedented three terms of the National Conference of Southern Baptist Evangelists. As an evangelist, he is endorsed by the Southern Baptist Convention.

In recognition of his contribution to worldwide evangelism, he has been awarded two Doctor Degrees. However, Charles is quick to realize all his honors and accomplishments are but rubbish (dung), if he does not gain Christ and come to know Him and the power of His resurrection. Charles and his family are active members of the Orchard Hills Baptist Church in Garland, Texas where Dickson Rial is pastor. While Charles is an independent Southern Baptist Evangelist, he goes where he is invited, conducting crusades, and Bible Conferences in churches of all faiths. His purpose is to invade every church, every home, and every prison with the Gospel of Christ and plant the banner of God’s endless love in every heart. His objective is very simple—to help people in all walks of life and beliefs, discover Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, and find a personal relationship with God through Him. Charles is more determined than ever to make conquest and storm the enemies’ territory with the message of God’s power and matchless love.

In the midst of all the gloom and despair, that so dominates our society, there is a sure source of hope. There is an answer! Charles speaks to these issues with a candid, straightforward approach, offering positive solutions for this troubled generation. Indeed, Jesus is the Answer!

Charles has spent his life explaining the meaning of life, death, and eternity. He believes that the Christian life is a “joyful, thrilling adventure.” His messages are geared to speak directly to the needs of today’s fast-moving world. He offers a message to those who are hurting, depressed, discouraged, and lonely. He has a message of love, forgiveness, and acceptance. It’s a message that will free a person from the condemning feeling of guilt and failure.

His message has made sense to countless thousands around the world. Invite him to your church and find out why!
 

She's Traveling a Different Circuit Now!

Beverly Massegee is a miracle of God’s redeeming grace. Popular in the field of entertainment, and combining a beautiful voice with a glamorous appearance, she climbed to the top rung in show business. At the summit, however, she found boredom and emptiness.

She began to resort to chemical props in order to alleviate the vacuum in her life. Then one day, while driving casually home from a garden club meeting, she passed a Baptist Church where Dr. Angel Martinez was preaching in a revival. She says, “Something like a magnet drew me into that building. I would never have gone in on my own.” The music awakened a nostalgia in her heart, and the sermon, affirming God’s forgiving love as both complete and permanent, aroused a desire within her to leave the “far country” and return to the “Father’s House”.

She accepted Christ as her personal Savior and committed her life to serve Him, and now since 1970, this trophy of God’s saving love has been witnessing for Christ by music and personal testimony around the world. Her story will thrill you and strengthen your faith in the glorious truth that we are saved by grace through faith as a gift of God. Her testimony will help young and old alike to return to the Father's house.

Pebbles Massegee: A Miracle of God's Grace and Healing Power

On November 20, 1981, Pebbles was only four months old and was diagnosed as having Primary Oxalosis. The doctors in Dallas said there was no medical hope. She had only days to live. One doctor, (the name of which they do not wish to reveal) told the Massegees, “Take your four month old organism home and let it die.”

Oxalate, a normal byproduct of the body, is usually discharged through the urine. When Primary Oxalosis occurs, the oxalate is retained by the body. It combines with calcium and forms deposits in the body organs. Children with this genetic disease rarely live more than a few years.

While it can attack many of the organs, it was confined to Pebbles’ kidney. Physicians in Dallas told the Massegees of a hospital in Minneapolis, but refused to recommend the baby be taken there, because, at that time, no transplant had ever been done on a child as young as Pebbles. And besides the word was, no transplant could be successful when Primary Oxalosis was involved. It had never been done. Since there was no help and no hope, the doctors in Dallas wanted to sedate her and let her die without pain.

Against the doctor’s orders and against all odds, the Massegees took Pebbles to Dr. Jay and Lee Hammer’s Clinic in Atlanta and then to the Scottish Rite Hospital for Children  located in Atlanta. Dr. Julius Sherwinter, a specialist in kidney disorders, put them in touch with Dr. Jon Sheinman and Dr. Mike Mauer, pediatric specialists, at the University of Minnesota Hospital.

The Massegees went there on December 1, 1981. Once they were certain of the child’s condition, they began looking for a donor. The Massegee’s three-month-old son, Trey, had died mysteriously a few years earlier. After exhuming his little body, they determined that he had died of Primary Oxalosis. At the time he died, no one knew much, if anything about Oxalosis.

Pebbles mother, Beverly, was chosen to donate one of her kidneys despite the fact that she had Lupus, a disease that affects the internal organs. But there was no choice in the matter. Pebbles had only hours to live and there was no time to find a donor.

On January 28, 1982, Dr. Najarian and a team of specialists performed simultaneous operations on Beverly and the baby. Four and one half hours later, the operation was over.

Doctors had removed both kidneys and the spleen from Pebbles to expand her abdominal cavity to make room for her mother’s kidney, as explained by Dr. John Najarian. Dr. Najarian explained that the kidney would shrink to the normal size of an infant’s kidney in about six months and then begin to grow as Pebbles grows.

All went well for two years. While the Massegees were in a revival in North Carolina, Pebbles contracted a strange virus that caused her to reject her new kidney.

She also suffered a massive stroke, which paralyzed her on the right side. This time Beverly’s nephew, Weldon Dean, donated his 30-year-old kidney to the Massegee’s 30-month-old little girl.

Another miracle was experienced. The second transplant was a big success and lasted 11 years. In 1995, she began to have problems that ended in a kidney/liver transplant September 6, 1996. She was in the hospital over two years. It was during this time God turned all the negatives into positives and she walked out a living miracle. She continues to be one of God’s walking miracles. She is in better health today than she has ever been in her life. Doctors treat. Only God can heal. Thank God for both.
