Evangelistic Series


A pastor from Montana, and his family, arrived here January 2. They are a nice couple with two adolescent boys. They have been running evangelistic meetings on the far side of town in a community building this entire week. We will continue with the meetings next week as well, followed by a one week break, and then two more weeks of meetings. We have had a decent turnout, with the majority of attendance being little kids.
The girls will actually be able to assist in the sermons for the second set of meetings. These are PowerPoint sermons that require someone just to read, everything else is provided for you. The pastor will be working and practicing with the girls over the next two weeks to make sure they (so far only three want to) will be ready. This is a neat transition for the girls to become more involved with ministry, while still having a guiding hand, allowing them to come outside of their comfort zone. Our hope is for the girls to view this more than just a speech, or a few minutes of limelight, but rather as an opportunity to reach others and spread the news. These girls have come a long way from not knowing God a few years ago, to now being apart of an Evangelistic Series. God is good!
