Trinity Baptist Academy Revival
Last week, I had the privilege of preaching the annual revival at my home church’s Christian school, Trinity Baptist Academy. Because I travel so extensively, I don’t have the opportunity to be around the kids and teens very often. It was a blessing getting to know our academy (and homeschooled) kids and seeing their heartfelt desires to serve the Lord. God did a special work in the revival, and we are excited about how God is moving among the students of TBA.
On Wednesday, I preached on ICHABOD and illustrated several prominent ministries that lost God’s power when He removed His glory. I shared the story of McKinney Avenue Baptist Church in Dallas that later became the Hard Rock Cafe. I showed them photos of First Baptist Church of Fort Worth when J. Frank Norris was pastor in the 1930’s and 40’s. Today, that city block is occupied by a parking garage and a bar.
On Thursday and Friday, I preached on how young people can grow up and live for the Lord in an ICHABOD situation and eventually overcome ICHABOD.
I want to encourage the kids and teens that made decisions for Christ to post a reply to this post. We would like to hear about your decisions and how God has moved in your hearts through the revival. Thank you for listening to the preaching and being willing to let God speak to your hearts.

I just wanted to say thank you again to Bro. Clay for the wonderful job he did at the revival. God really worked om my heart especially in the areas of Bible reading, and being a good role model and leader at the christian school. I have made commitments to God in these areas and am really trying to live up to them. So, thanks for everything and please keep praying for revival at our school.
I was only able to be in attendance on Wednesday of the Revival, but the message was piercing to say the least. I’m sure if you had told any one of the members of those two thriving churches that their church would one day be a parking garage & a bar, or a rock-n-roll cafe, they would have thought you were out of your mind! Hmmmm, it could be us if we’re not careful. Thank you Bro. Clay for all that you poured into the revival. Thank you for praying for my children by name ahead of time, and asking my husband to do the same. I don’t want to guilty of being an ICHABOD, or of raising one either. GOD will send REVIVAL if we will prepare to receive it!
I deeply appreciate u preaching at our revival…the Lord especially touched my heart concerning your message on “Ichabod”.
I love u in Christ,and I will pray 4 u Bro. Reed
