Here we are exiting July and barreling right into the Dog Days of August. Where did the time go! Seems I was just telling "everyone" I didn't think I would ever be warm again and now we're well into the 90's and 100's! No complaining though cause winter will be back in SD before we realize it and Christmas staring us in the face. Speaking of Christmas!
We are getting ready for the Christmas Outreach at All Tribes Fellowship. Visit our web site for a list of things we're praying for this year to make the Holidays brighter for some kids and teens.
We participated in two outreaches July 16 and 23. The first was in Mission on the Rosebud Reservation with Pastors Johnny and Heidi Wade. What great time and boy was it H O T! God blessed a lot of children or school thanks to KC and Dianne Kopaska who gathered a trailer load of back packs with school supplies. The following Saturday, the 23 we did it all again at Lower Brule Reservation with Pastors Randy and Rebecca Jensen. H O T again but another great success! God is faithful and blessed another BUNCH of school kids again.
Now on a personal note. Tim just about has the little house ready for us to move into. Once that is done we will begin clean up and renovations of the Assemblies of God parsonage in Wagner and it will be READY FOR CHILDREN WORKERS. NOW for God to have their hearts prepared! We also ask you to pray concerning our ministry finances. Summer has proven to be a rough time for Missionaries and their support. And with the economy issues, well, the one main thing we all remember is "GOD IS OUR SOURCE and the OWNER OF THE CATTLE ON A THOUSAND HILLS". That's a lot of cows! And we serve a Big and Faithful Father God.
In closing! Sounds like a preacher doesn't it! Oh! I do hold credentials so guess I fall in that category! Anyway, continue to keep our Government in deep sincere prayer. The days do seem to be getting closer and closer for the catching away of church, the Bride of Christ. Seems Bible prophecy is proving out day by day! So we must work while there is day! Still doesn't stop us from doing what the Word says (even when it is a difficult thing to do sometimes) to pray for those in leadership of us.
Have a blessed day and remember, He will never leave or forsake us! Hold fast to your confession of Faith!
Blessings,
Tim and Elaine
