  • Big, But Not Beautiful

    We saw tons of bison today as we took a two hour tour of the Bison Range. These animals are huge, but not the most beautiful creatures God has ever created. In fact, they taste better than they look. We had bison burgers at the base of the mountain as we finished our tour. Wow!

    This morning Andrew Willis took a huge step. He stood up and shared his testimony in front of the whole church. He was incredible. I was so proud of him! You guys would have given him a standing ovation - the church here did! After church I listened as a mother told him how much his story touched her son's heart.

    We have successfully merged with our Seattle friends and the team is ONE! We have met so many kids from the Ronan area and they are hanging out with us 24/7. It is so amazing how fast God is knitting their hearts with ours. This is going so much better than any of us dreamed it would. 

    Please keep praying for us. Tomorrow (Monday) we start moving out into the community. We have focused on the members of the church thus far, but tomorrow the shift will be made to reach the unchurched. We need your prayers. Our team is ready, they are prayed up, and they can't wait to go and invite everyone they meet. 

    Michelle is leading all of us so well. She is doing an incredible job! Keep praying. More later.

    Can I just say how proud I am of my Andrew, I know that standing in front of a room full of people and speaking can be very difficult but Andrew let God have control of that situation and a connection was made. God is AWESOME! We are praying for big things. Love you all.
