Deland, FL - City Wide Meeting
It was Doug’s privilege to speak at the Deland, FL
special community prayer service on September 11.
Folks gathered at the high school from a variety of
denominations. Doug shared the story of the Appeal
to Heaven flag and how God changed the nation, and
how he might do it again. City-leaders were present as
well as the school board chairperson. Thanks to Pastor
Mark Schrade who is providing leadership not only for
the Deland Church of God, but for the city. On Sunday,
Doug shared with that congregation. On Saturday, he
led them in a School of Prayer, Praying through the
Tabernacle. The school is based on his book, Principles of
Worship: A Study of the Tabernacle of Moses. The book is
available along with a Power Point companion of more
than 350 full-color, animated slide, keyed to the book.
Will Graham Celebration Post-Confernce
As the Will Graham Celebration ended in
Huntington, WV, engaging a five-county area, the Billy
Graham Evangelistic Association, co-sponsored a
vision-casting event for post-celebration, on-going
prayer-evangelism efforts involving Project Pray. Doug
Small and Claude King accompanied Sam Hardy, the
BGEA Celebration event director, to the area and met
with pastors, marketplace leaders and intercessors.
As the weekend closed, the café at River Cities
Community Church was packed with community
leaders asking how they could keep alive a prayer and
evangelism effort. Project Pray is calling the process, “A
decade of destiny,” for a community interested in a nostones-left-unturned prayer-evangelism effort. Over the
next few months, dialogue
will continue in hopes
of a pilot project. Other
cities are also looking at
the process. Interested?

Cuba
Doug shared with pastors and prayer leaders at the
National Convention in Cuba for the Church of God
(Santa Clara Region). Special thanks to overseer, Daniel
Morales; and to interpreters Bedford and Willa Smith.
Also to Charles King for his wonderful partnership on
the trip. At the end of the 3-day training event, the
response of the crowd was a standing ovation! Before
leaving Cuba, Doug had dinner with the Bishop of
the Methodist movement in Cuba, Richardo Pereira,
and preached in the second largest Protestant Church
in Cuba. What a thrill. It
was a packed house with
an overflow crowd and
multiple services. What
exuberance. What joy.
The nation appears to be
on the edge of a national
spiritual awakening! Pray for Cuba. Pray specifically for a
National Leadership Summit.
Marriage and Family Weekend
Charleston, SC was the site of a rare marriage and
family weekend with Doug and Barbara Small. In years
