Once again the Lord has met our request and exceeded in giving us a “High Day” in attendance of 38 people.\u00a0 And that’s not all; On Sunday, March 17th<\/span>, a Native man came forward in the invitation for salvation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Several people have noticed how that the Lord is restocking and rebuilding our Church with a different group of people.\u00a0 People are coming that we never had any idea would.\u00a0 The talk in the Church and among visitors is that the Church is so different now.\u00a0 It is so peaceful to come to Church and enjoy it now.\u00a0 The fellowship is great!\u00a0 It seems like we are starting all over again.\u00a0 We have much liberty and people are getting involved in many other areas now.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My wife Elaine is working daily in the school with our four students.\u00a0 One of them is planning on graduating this June.\u00a0 This will leave three students. We have rolled it over in our minds about opening the school up to whoever wants to enroll.\u00a0 We’ve never done this as we don’t have the staff now.\u00a0 This would be something that needs great thought and prayer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our son John is still living in a far country.\u00a0 Yet the Lord is merciful to him.\u00a0 We see him about once a week.\u00a0 Also, he has just been hired by Ford Motor Company in Mississauga, Ontario, close to Toronto to work on an assembly line.\u00a0 I never thought that would happen, but the Lord is again, merciful!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Melissa is in Hamilton, Ontario, about 45 minutes from us. We see her about every three weeks, but communicate every 2-3 days.\u00a0 She is attending Church there, but not like we’d like her to.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mary is married and living happily in Little Rock.\u00a0 She and her husband are so happy together. She serves the Lord as their Church secretary and pianist and also works cleaning houses and bakery orders on the side.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Due to Churches struggling with the economy and our Church here being cut down in half the size, we had lost around $1,500.00 a month support since October.\u00a0 We have gained about a thousand of that back as our Church here now is able to pay our rent in town.\u00a0 We do not plan to move back to the Reservation due to the Residency Bylaws that are being examined considered.<\/p>\n

We probably could move back, but we know that as non-native, this bothers many people. We are very happy in our apartment.\u00a0 We are about 7-8 miles away from the Church.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There has been some Churches to send in special offerings.\u00a0 That has really helped us greatly.\u00a0 Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.<\/p>\n

We are indebted to all of you dear folks.\u00a0 We’ve never been so blessed with the ministry here as we are now.\u00a0 God is blessing the work and our hearts as we continue to minister here.\u00a0 We are so encouraged and happy, happy, happy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
