Update on the Fair Ministry:
In May, we had the opportunity to have a booth at our county fair. That allowed us to get the Gospel into the hands of a lot of people very quickly. Thanks to Lighthouse Baptist Press, my friend, Dr. Bryan Gentry, our sending church in Cle Elum, and many others who helped, we were able to get out approximately 10,000 gospel presentations or invitations into people’s hands between a combination of John and Romans, Gospel Tracts, Water Bottle Tracts, Revival Invitations, and more – all in 4 days. All 8 of our church members did an outstanding job to pull this off! Read more about this, the revival meeting, and the people who were saved and baptized this summer in our attached newsletter.
Update on our power:
Last year, we were trying to put together the money for consistent power. God has provided that miraculously! Now we have enough solar for most of the time, and then about a month ago, God gave us an almost brand-new whole-house generator for $100 dollars! Power is no longer an issue!
Please pray for our urgent needs:
When we moved down to California, one of our biggest needs was an affordable place to live. God met that need by allowing me to be the caretaker for a farm that previously had been destroyed by a drug dealer. Since moving on, we have run off the druggies, and rebuilt the house, which is a mobile home that was severely abused by the previous occupants.
The house was full of holes and rot. We redid the plumbing and electrical, the floors, corrected the framing, poured concrete pads under it to level it properly, and now we are working on closing things back in. We had hoped to have this done before the cold weather, because camping out is easier when it is warm. However, now we are facing very short periods of sun in between heavy periods of rain going into winter.
Read our November newsletter to find out about our specific needs for this project and how God has blessed.
If you need graphics, website, or printing work, I would love to help you out. For local church ministries and bi-vocational pastors, I offer my services at steep discounts. Please pray for this need, and contact us if we can be a blessing to you.
