Tent revival slated in Eureka Springs

EUREKA SPRINGS -- There will be an old fashioned community-wide tent revival in Eureka Springs starting on May 18 at 6:30 p.m.

Services will be at 190 Passion Play Road, just off U.S. Hwy. 62.

Like the great revivals of the past it will continue every night for an indeterminate amount of time, according to spokesman Bob Ballinger. Fliers indicate the services will conclude "when the devil is whooped."

Evangelist Eric Koons, of Eastland Baptist, Tulsa, Okla., is going to be the key speaker, but there will be a variety of different speakers.

The services are a ministry of Mission Boulevard Baptist Church, Fayetteville, but it took the participation and contribution of many individuals from different churches to put this together, Ballinger said. "It will be a bunch of old-fashioned preaching and singing and lots of good fellowship. Our hope is this event will match some of the great community revivals of the past, and that people will be drawn close to their savior."
