March - April 2005

North American Director

Praise the Lord! There is no fault to be found in our risen living Saviour!! He has sustained us, satisfied us and strengthened us. Just as we predicted in our last prayer letter, the month of March was very busy. I preached in our Bible College and four Faith Promise Mission Conferences. Although the month was very busy, it was a blessed month as well because we saw a number of people saved and several churches stirred for lost souls and missions.

During the month of April, I am planning a trip to Montana to be with one of our missionaries that is already on the field. Another missionary, Brother John McKinney who is raising his support to go to Montana, will be going with me for his survey trip. Please pray for Brother McKinney that God will speak to his heart about the very city He would have him begin his work.

SPECIAL PRAISE! The Lord has govem us two new men that will be going to the western states to plant churches. Please pray for Jeremy Clanton and Thomas Hogan as they begin deputation. Another praise is that Brother Andy Doss and his family left Monday morning, March 28 for California and that Brother Tim Wall, Brother Jeff Hawks, and Brother Mark Shore and their families will be on their way to Washington and Idaho by June or July of this year.

SPECIAL PRAYER REUQEST We are making plans for the Midwestern Camp Meeting in Pierre, South Dakota in May. God has burdened my heart to help our missionaries with the expense of their motel rooms. Some of them may not be able financially to make the trip if we can't help them. I will never ask for my own personal needs, but I will ask for my missionaries. Will you pray and ask the Lord if He would have you or your church help with this financial need? It would be a tremendous blessing. Just send it to the Mission Board in my name and designate it for the Midwestern Camp Meeting.

Thank you again for your prayers and financial support. We count it an honor to be a part of your mission family. Please know that we pray for you faithfully.
