Dear Co-laborers In Christ,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 Glorious answers for many of our June update\u2019s prayer requests despite several shocking ministry challenges make our dependence on God\u2019s grace and your intercession profoundly important.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA man\u2019s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps\u201d(Prov. 16:9).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n When Dodge dealership errors turned minor electrical and engine repairs into disabling transmission failure, your prayers saw it miraculously rebuilt alongside our bus for powerful Neighborhood BibleTime evangelization, July 7th-11th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Enough commitments were made throughN.B.T. to fill our biggest van for Apache Creek\u2019s \u201cIndian Week\u201d July 14-18 when reports began swirling of possible dangers to girls or lady campers. Native pastors agreed with us to be more watchful and work together to meet the untold needs and expectations of over 120 Native participants through games, skits, chapels, Christian love, and competitions of every sort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The 1,000 mile Apache Creek round trip saw many young people saved and growing in Christ and Christian love and grace along with their leaders.This rare meeting of Indian preachers normally hundreds of miles apart allowed us to begin planning for this year\u2019s annual Native Revival, Nov.3-5 at our Cocopah church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n PRAYERS for the right messages, travel expenses, meals, and lodging are greatly appreciated as last year\u2019s meeting required all of the above for 35 out of state participants in addition to our local guests\u2019 needs. Young people who missed Apache Creek\u2019s camp were greatly blessed by Bill Rice West\u2019s day long youth rally near Phoenix 200 miles away, September 6th. They and their whole nation will hear the true Gospel and edifying preaching through the same Native pastors as at camp at our November 3-5, 2025 camp meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n We were privileged to marry Dwayne and Kaci September 13th though it meant delaying a large reception until March 2026 tribal profit sharing. PRAY for employment and better housing for them and their eight year old daughter, Abby, so they can \u201cgraduate\u201d from our cramped church R.V. to their own apartment. P.T.L. this whole family wants to be baptized with recently saved young people as soon as Abby trusts Him as Savior herself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Time and relationships with Cocopah of every persuasion consistently reveal an underbelly of tradition and Indian pride so perverse and normal to them as to make prayer indispensable and as to make victory for believers the work of God alone. Your faithful intercession and provisions for untold spiritual and physical needs are appreciated and more important than we could say! (Ephesians 6:18-19). <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n PRAISES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Francis, grandma to many of ouryouth, was saved before her recent passing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Ramirez family and many youths return to church and Bible clubs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Missions meeting for us in central California September 28th-29th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Endurance of the critical bus and vans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Michael’s heart health and 5 year cancer free milestone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n PETITIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf True conversion to Christ of Brown, Phillips, and Mays families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Eternal fruit for all ages and the endless preparations for our November 3-5th Native Revival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Dawn\u2019s cardiovascular needs after her September 24th<\/sup> angiogram and earlier tests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u25cf Gifts to help reach souls at Christmas and cold nights, to ripen citrus given as tickets to open unreached homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Most thankfully yours in Christ, \u00a0 Michael and Dawn Veldhuis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Co-laborers In Christ, \u00a0 \u00a0 Glorious answers for many of our June update\u2019s prayer requests despite several shocking ministry challenges make our dependence on God\u2019s grace and your intercession profoundly important.\u00a0 \u201cA man\u2019s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps\u201d(Prov. 16:9).
