SPRING 2015
1 Chronicles 16:4 And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, and to record, and to thank and praise the Lord God of Israel:
Dear Praying Friends,
Praise the Lord for His working among the American Indian people! We are continually blessed and humbled to be called to this work. Thank you for all you do in helping to sustain this ministry through your prayers and financial contributions.
This past month we were encouraged to see the church nearly full Resurrection Sunday morning. We had a sun-rise service and very nice breakfast at 6:00 AM. It was well attended, but then even more came back for the regular Sunday School hour and Morning Worship Service. We didn’t hit a new record this year, however, 85 were in attendance.
Two weeks later our youth leader, his wife, and seven teens went to Youth Conference in Lancaster, CA. Every year we pray for the Lord to use this event in the lives of our young people. This year two of the teens made decisions to be obedient Christians.
On April 25th, our ladies took a trip to Flagstaff for the annual Ladies’ Retreat that the Bill Rice Ranch West Branch hosts. This year Sherry was asked to be the guest speaker. The church van was full and a few of the ladies drove on their own. The theme was “Oh,the Depth of His riches.” Steve drove the van and got to see first hand what a great time the ladies have whenever they get together.
Your prayers for the ministries of the Hualapai Baptist Church and the Independent Baptist Indian Mission are greatly appreciated. And thank you again for your generous support of our family!
For God’s Glory,
The Steve De Ford family
