That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship <\/strong>with us:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n and truly our fellowship <\/strong>is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. I John 1:3\nGamyu [gam y\u016b] That\u2019s hello or welcome in Hualapai,\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n These update letters give us a wonderful opportunity to share with all our prayer partners what the\nLord has been doing here among the Hualapai and through the ministries of the Hualapai Baptist Church\nand the Independent Baptist Indian Mission, Inc. And you can have true fellowship right along with us.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n A unique fellowship opportunity that we have developed at the church is our \u201cSuper Sunday.\u201d About\nonce a month, we move our evening service up to 8:00 AM. We follow the early service with a fellowship\nbreakfast. The church provides pancakes and coffee while everybody else provides various breakfast side\ndishes. Sunday school, which is usually at 9:00 AM is moved back to 10:00 and our morning worship service\nis at 11:00 AM. Often, we schedule Super Sundays on holiday weekends allowing our members more ways to\ncelebrate whatever the given holiday may be.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have often written about our monthly men\u2019s fellowships and the ladies\u2019 Bible studies. These\nspecial times give us more ways to fellowship around God\u2019s Word in addition to our regular service times.\nOther special summer services are our three fellowship Wednesdays. Through the summer months, we\nschedule our annual Watermelon Wednesday which, as the name implies, is prayer meeting followed by\nwatermelon. The second aptly named special service is our Prayer\/Pie\/and Praise night. And third is the\nmuch anticipated \u201cSundaes on Wednesday\u201d when we finish the regular prayer meeting service with an ice\ncream social.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope that by describing some of our unique times together as a church you can sense a closer\nfellowship with us. Your prayer and financial support of this ministry help us provide fun and exciting times\naround God\u2019s Word in fellowship with God\u2019s people.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Lord has certainly given us an increase theses last couple months. Five souls received Christ as\nSaviour through the ministries of the church. Another young man was led to Christ on a Sunday afternoon by\nhis father-in-law after attending Hualapai Baptist in the morning. This young man has been coming for a few\nmonths off and on, so we were all thrilled to hear of his receiving Jesus as his Savior. One other Sunday\nmorning, one of our Sunday School teachers missed their class. When the family arrived for the morning\nworship service they reported that just as they were about to walk out the door, a nephew called. He wanted\nto know how he could know he was on his way to heaven. This family was able to lead him to Christ over the\nphone! We are eager to begin a new level of fellowship with these new believers knowing that our fellowship\nin Christ will never end.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you for your fellowship with us through your prayers and financial support.\nFor God\u2019s Glory,\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Steve De Ford\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" July:August 2022 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
