Rigney Ministries

Benjy LOVES to enjoy good fellowship and a good laugh, and as you can see, we found both at Belle Fountain Baptist Church last week. Belle Fountain is located in Ocean Springs, MS, and it has a rich history. From their church website, I learned that it was established in 1890, and it’s name means ‘Beautiful Life’.

Pastor Larry Darden, Dr. Don Boone, and Benjy were the leadership team for this revival. It was our first time to met either of these men, and we grew to love them and appreciate their sincere ministry to the body of Christ. Bro. Don serves as pastor of nearby First Baptist Vancleave, but is also available for occasional revivals. You can learn more about his ministry on their church website.

Benjy works full-time at the Stennis Space Center, so we decided to set up camp near the church, and he drove from our campsite to work each day. That made his drive shorter and it worked out great for McKenzie and me, because even though she still had school work to do, it ‘felt’ like a mini-vacation due to the change in scenery.

There was a car show in town the week we were there, and a number of the car exhibitors were camping near us! That was the fun part … the un-fun part was that our A/C went out early in the week, and things REALLY heated up during the day. The campground guide referred us to a local repairman, who turned out to be a Christian, and he got us fixed up as soon as possible. I was concerned about the cost of the repair, because we are trying to save our money for Benjy to record a new CD, but the Lord had everything in place to take care of our need … when we arrived back home from our trip, there in our mailbox was an unexpected donation from a fellow believer who had no knowledge of our repair bill. There was also an order for a couple of Benjy’s first CDs, and the total of those two donations was $1.00 less than our repair bill! I LOVE God’s way of handling things, don’t you?
