Pennsylvania Revival
Posted April 29, 2008
This past week was full of many services, fellowship, and great food. We spent a week at the Countryside Baptist Church in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, with Pastor Don Pendley and his church family. Though attendance was slightly low as far as extra visitors go, (We suspect the gas prices had something to do with […]
Ladies Conference
Posted April 24, 2008
Friday and Saturday, April 18-19th: We tried to squeeze as much work into our short week before heading to Stonewood, West Virginia, and the Bible Baptist Temple’s Ladies Conference this past weekend. Somehow we–that is, Mom and us girls–got everything packed up and left (Yes, a bit behind our target time–there’s sooo much […]
Our Trip Diary
Posted April 24, 2008
Sunday, April 13th: We had some last minute things to take care of on Saturday before we left for Quakertown, Pennsylvania, but we eventually got on the road. The trip took us about six hours or so. (Not a problem, right? Right! We’re getting a little soft in our old […]
On the Road, Again
Posted April 10, 2008
Sunday, March 30: Dad, Mom and Monica made their way from West Virginia to Emlenton, PA Saturday afternoon, while Joanna and Jessica came from NJ for our meeting at Fellowship Baptist Church in Emlenton, PA. We set up the P.A. system, then retired to some comfortable accommodations a little ways from the church. It […]
Springtime in the Holler
Posted April 4, 2008
Spring is hitting the hills in the holler near our cabin. We have had many days of rain this winter and the rain has continued on into Spring, making us anxious for the sunny days ahead. Thank God for Dad Marshall and his genius of an outdoor furnace. It has been a […]
Recent Happenings
Posted March 19, 2008
The family has been enjoying some time at home lately. With the schedule freed up a bit, they have been able to get some “down” time in–much needed and appreciated. The slower schedule allowed them time to help missionaries, Dwight and Ruth Talbot, get ready for their departure to Norway. Initially they just babysat […]
In other news…
Posted February 25, 2008
Another Valentine Celebration We’ve kept busy with three, not just two Valentine Banquets this month. Only this time it was not really a Banquet, it was a Progressive Dinner. Our church decided to do things a bit differently this year and we were able to be in on the production. Our part was […]
Valentine Weekend in Ohio
Posted February 25, 2008
Yes, we had yet another Valentine Banquet to attend this year. This time it was in the Little Hocking valley of Ohio. Pastor Jay Hubbard and the Gospel Baptist Church invited us to come for the weekend of February 16 & 17. Once again, there was a Saturday evening Valentine Banquet, although this time […]
Valentine Weekend in PA
Posted February 25, 2008
Our trip to Hannahstown Road Baptist Church was short but sweet. We had been looking forward to being with Pastor & Mrs. Mark Wagner and the church there in Cabot. They have been pastoring not much more than a year. Though they have faced some strong battles, they have been faithful and […]
A Full Sunday
Posted February 4, 2008
We had a pretty full schedule this past Sunday. We headed up on over the mountain to be with Pastor Bill Foster and Freeport King James Bible Baptist Church in Terra Alta, West Virginia. The road the church is on is three miles long and on this particular day, was quite icy. […]
Mountaineer Challenge Academy
Posted February 4, 2008
We received a letter in December asking for dates to come and hold a service at the Mountaineer Challenge Academy. For those of you who may not have heard of MCA, it’s about ten miles from us and it’s basically a boot camp for troubled teens. They have the option of going into […]
In Flatwoods
Posted February 4, 2008
The snow was beginning to blow as we packed up for our trip to Flatwoods, West Virigina. Our trip was mostly uneventful and we arrived safely at the Flatwoods Baptist Church. Pastor Paul Beatty, his family, and a few others joined us in setting up our P.A. system and helped us to get […]
CIJ 2008
Posted January 18, 2008
Once again we made our way to Rockford, Illinois, for “Camp in January 2008″ (aka “CIJ”). We flew into Midway and made the trip safely. Pastor Mark picked us up in “Big Red” and we had a slight wait until we could pick up Bro. Buddy Blunkall at O’Hare. Grabbed some hotdogs […]
Christmas Celebrations
Posted January 8, 2008
Once again, we had a full house for Christmas. Ted and Sharon Monsour (our fifth daughter and sister) made it in on Saturday before Christmas. We were supposed to be leaving for a meeting in Pennsylvania that afternoon…but when there’s family there, you can’t just run off, can you? We were still having troubles […]
Through snow and ice…
Posted December 20, 2007
And we thought it was a little squished in the van we borrowed recently from our pastor, Bro. Terry Cumberland and his wife. That was nothing compared to this past weekend! Our van was “missing” after taking it home from the airport on December 3. It had been due for a change of spark […]
New Release!
Posted December 18, 2007
Yes, you heard it from us first…(hee hee). Our newest CD, “Mountain Heritage” is now available. Just click here and you can listen to samples and place your order now.
Maryland Meeting
Posted December 12, 2007
We almost didn’t make it to our scheduled service last Thursday night. We had been gone for about three weeks and home only a few days, so things were a little backed up. Not to mention the snowstorm that arrived this past week. Our van is useless in that kind of weather. Not […]
Western Trip
Posted December 11, 2007
Yes, we’re finally home from our trip out to the Great West. For a total of twenty-three days we were out and about, seeing old friends and making many new acquaintances. We were blessed with safety on all six flights, as well as with the various rental and borrowed vehicles we used. […]
In the Forest of Marienville, PA
Posted November 9, 2007
We’ve been with Pastor Pete Zengel and the Forest Area Baptist Church many times in recent years. The church is situated right in the middle of a forest in the state of Pennsylvania. We usually stay on the church property. The pastor and his family also live on the church property and […]
Quick Update
Posted November 9, 2007
Sunday, October 7: This Sunday found us at home with a day to rest. We always appreciate these times as we don’t get to fellowship with our church family as much as we’d like. God has given us the opportunity to be involved in various activities and ministries of the church a […]
“Fire on the Mountain”
Posted October 24, 2007
Many times in the past years when we have told people we lived in West Virginia, they would invariably ask the question. “How far are you from Mt. Salem Revival Grounds?” We would usually inform them that we were approximately two hours from the camp. We would follow that up by saying that we had never […]
A Month in Review
Posted October 1, 2007
Sept. 2-3, Sunday-Monday: The long trek was made up to Michigan on Saturday. Pastor & Mrs. Townsend and their daughter, Bethany, greeted us kindly. We had a nice evening of home-style food and laughter as we spent some time in fellowship. We set up and then headed to the hotel, where […]
New Little Arrival
Posted September 28, 2007
Marshalls can never do just one big thing at once. We have to always have two big events going on at the same time! At least it makes life more thrilling… We told Sharon (our fifth daughter and sister) she would have to wait to have her baby until we came to New York […]
August Activities
Posted August 31, 2007
Sunday-Friday, July 29-August 3: It was another great week at the King James Bible Church near Terra Alta, West Virginia. Attendance was lower than it had been in recent years, but the spirit was still sweet. Pastor Billy Foster and his wife are always so kind and gracious and the church […]

Connecticut Campmeeting
Posted July 26, 2007
The Marshalls are still amazed that they even made the trip. It was a total of nine hours to Plainville, Connecticut, and the First Bible Baptist Church. Their van, although having recently been in the shop, was still not up to par. Bro. Marshall suspected the U-joint, which was replaced with help from friends […]
Celebrating the Fourth
Posted July 11, 2007
Since we didn’t get to do anything for the Fourth on the Fourth, we had to make up for it by waiting until Friday…and then driving to the Clarksburg area to hear the Wheeling Symphony Orchestra and to see fireworks. This was the second time for some of us to hear them, but most […]
In the Summertime
Posted July 11, 2007
A trip to Florida in the heat of the summer is quite unusual for us, but we had been asked to come, so that’s where we went. Our meeting, as stated earlier, was supposed to have been a longer one, but for many reasons, it didn’t end up that way. We flew into […]
June Update
Posted July 11, 2007
Friday, June 1: We started the month off with a Teen Banquet at Mountain Lake Independent Baptist Church in Oakland, Maryland. Bro. Matt Friend, the youth pastor, and Pastor Dennis Leatherman did a great job heading up the program. The theme was “Just For a Moment” and we sang several songs, including […]
Florida Trip Shortened
Posted June 30, 2007
Newsflash! We wanted to let all those planning to come see us at West Gate in Tampa that there will no longer be services on Monday or Tuesday night. The meeting had to be shortened due to some building plans. There will still be services on Sunday, July 1. We are […]
May Meetings
Posted May 30, 2007
Sunday, May 6-Wednesday, May 9: We were at Berean Baptist Church in Rockford, Illinois, this week. It was good to be back with the folks we know and love so well. Pastor Melvin Swanson is still going strong after all these years. Evangelist Sam Gipp was preaching for the Bible Conference, and […]
In the Studio
Posted May 30, 2007
It has been a busy month around here. Besides traveling hither and yon and keeping up with things at home, we’ve been in the middle of a recording project. A very unique one, in fact. It all started fifteen years ago… It was 1992, and Pastor Mark Swanson, youth pastor at Berean Baptist Church in […]
Upcoming Products
Posted May 4, 2007
Our DVD project is on its way…please be patient with us! We hope to have it ready within the next few months. Details are being worked out even as we speak. Mrs. Marshall’s set of teaching tapes will be available on CD shortly. There are two four-CD sets of very valuable information from […]

A Bit of News
Posted May 4, 2007
April 15: The weather was still not really “Spring” weather when we made our way to Hamburg, PA, and the Faith Bible Baptist Church where Erich Schmidt is the pastor. In fact, he had almost canceled the meeting as a famous “Nor’easter” was supposedly sweeping into the area. Praise the Lord, it […]
Girls’ Day Out
Posted April 13, 2007
It was another “day out” for the threesome. Due to the fact that they were making a trip to Ohio for a meeting, anyway, they decided to make the weekend a little longer–and headed to Toledo, Ohio, for a singles activity. The activity was held at Hope Baptist Church, where Jonathan Marshall, their brother, is the Singles […]
Spring Schedule
Posted April 12, 2007
Wednesday-Sunday, March 21-25th: Our family meeting with Pastor James Waldeck and the Bible Baptist Church in Belva, West Virginia, went very well. The church family seemed hungry for help on the family and music. By the end of the meeting, the pastor even had his guitar out, and promised to begin working on […]

On the Road
Posted March 20, 2007
After some time spent recuperating in February, we hit the trail again this month. We were thankful to escape a bit of the snow we’ve been experiencing around here and see some southern sunshine. We weren’t quite prepared for warmer weather, so the proper clothing was not packed, but we managed in spite […]
Like Bears In A Den
Posted February 23, 2007
If you’ve been awonderin’ what them there Marshalls have been up to lately, don’t ya worry. They’re still alive, we reckon. We done heard that they’re just a takin’ a leetle break from the break-neck speed they was goin’ at fer so long. That’s why ya ain’t seed no dates on that […]
Homecoming Sunday, March 11, 2007
Posted February 15, 2007
Bro. Dave Smith, choir director at Grace Baptist Church in West Columbia, South Carolina, has worked hard to bring six of the immediate members of the family together for a special Sunday commemorating the 30th Anniversary of the John Marshall Family’s ministry of traveling the country. (Check the itinerary page for more details.) Sharon, […]
Camp in January 2007
Posted January 18, 2007
The Marshalls made it safely to and from Rockford, Illinois, this past weekend–but not without some excitement along the way. The day of departure started out perfectly. Several were still packing while others finished up menial jobs about the homeplace. They even left three minutes early. If you know the Marshalls well enough, […]
The Wild Girls Go to the WILDS
Posted January 10, 2007
It was supposed to be a break from the regular routine of life. When the Marshall girls reserved their spots at the 2007 Wilds Music Conference, their schedule was pretty flexible. November and December were looking open, apart from a few scattered meetings. Then the phone calls started coming. “I had been praying that […]
Whoa, Christmas Tree!
Posted December 28, 2006
We decided to add a little extra work to our already hectic schedule this year. In previous years we had either purchased a live tree, or asked a relative if we could cut a tree from their property. The latter being that we usually ended up with a pretty sparse representation of a […]
December Daze
Posted December 27, 2006
Dec. 3: We left Saturday for our six-hour trip to Sandusky, Ohio. Pastor Richard Mick and the Lighthouse Baptist Church were holding their anniversary Sunday Western style, with all the decorations, music, and outfits to boot. We provided special music all day–morning services and afternoon service. There were a tremendous amount of […]

With a Thankful Heart
Posted December 11, 2006
I craned my neck to glance at our half-moon window, which was still dingy from what most certainly had to be several months worth of grime. Somehow in all the excitement we had not cleaned the windows. Oh, well. That wasn’t the top thing on the “to-do” list, I guess. Family […]
November Notes
Posted December 11, 2006
Nov. 3: Our church was kicking off their Missions month today and we were actually here to be a part…for a nice change. Dad preached all of the services and we sang. We enjoyed a delectable meal at our pastor’s house along with fine fellowship. Nov. 6-8: The trio headed off on […]
October Opportunities
Posted November 13, 2006
Oct.4: Our meeting this night was at the Bayview Baptist Church out on the Island in Mastic Beach. Pastor Lee Pallman and his family fed us pizza and ice cream before the services started. There were quite a bit of young people and children in the services. Dad preached powerfully on the […]
