Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,

Now that I am being faithfully supported by like-minded Bible-believing churches such as yours, I owe it to all of you to keep you abreast as to the accomplishments and future goals of Pressing on Ministries. In October we were invited to Bible Believers Baptist Church in Panama City, FL. Preaching there is always a challenge since I have preached over 60 sermons there already. Pastor Greg Rhinehart is one of my dearest friends in the ministry. Please pray for him since he is fighting cancer. Though he seems to be doing better, he’s going to see the doctor in mid-November for reevaluation. I also had the privilege of preaching a 4-day Men’s Conference in October for Huisache Baptist church in San Antonio, TX. It was well attended and appreciated by all. I rounded out the meeting by preaching all 3 services on the Sunday following. Pastors Cummings and Yeargin were especially hospitable and thankful for the results. From there we headed to West Memphis, AR to preach a 6-day camp meeting at Morning Star Bible Baptist Church with Pastor Toure Carter. With so many other preachers there we left with our cups overflowing. It was the first time I was able to preach with my son Luke, currently the pastor of New Beginnings Baptist Church which I started in 1996. We both got invited to preach together again this coming May. We praise the Lord that Morning Star BBC chose to support our ministry with a monthly love offering. We plan on attending their Mission’s Conference in February. We concluded that trip by preaching the Sunday night service at Holy Hills Baptist Church in Dyersburg, TN. Pastor Dennis Knowles is a dear friend, and we hope to have encouraged his church. We had a few days off before heading out to Pastor David Peacock’s 2022 KJV Jubilee in Jacksonville, Florida. Well attended would be an understatement as 38+ preachers, myself included, were able to reprove, rebuke and exhort believers worldwide. With their livestream capability, people from all over the world were able to attend. We left Jacksonville and headed once again to Bible Believers Baptist Church in Panama City, Florida. This time though it was not only to preach, but to accompany our friends, Pastor Rhinehart and his wife, to Rough and Ready Baptist Church in Rough and Ready, CA to preach a Family Camp for Pastor Hilton Smith. My Eagle Scout days were revisited, as it was definitely rough, for which I was not ready. They were experiencing uncommonly cold weather for which I was not prepared. I had not seen snow like that since my childhood growing up in Rochester, NY. But at the end of the camp, we were all glad to have crucified our stinking flesh and to have lived for a few days like many people in this world live every day. Pastor Rhinehart and I shared the preaching responsibilities which was a first for us as well. We praise the Lord for the young lady that was saved during the camp. We then headed back to Nashville, TN for some much needed rest, and to enjoy the holidays with friends & family. 2023 is filling up quickly. Besides the 1-4 day meetings already set, we have tours scheduled in New York in July, Colorado in August, and California / Nevada in September and Texas in October. Our calendar will show the churches and meetings scheduled for 2023 thus far. I humbly ask that you pray about how we might be able to assist you in manifesting Christ’s will at your church. The Lord has faithfully sent us to the churches where our many years of experience in the ministry have been used. Some for conviction, some for comforting, but all for conforming. We pray the Lord will have His perfect will in your life & ours until His glorious appearing.

Pressing on Ministries,
Paul Iannello Sr.
