Church Planting in Idaho

And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62

I first of all want to apologize for our letter being a little late. It has been a trying time for our family with the recent death of my wife’s mother. So many have prayed and the Lord has heard! She was a very sick lady with a long way to recovery, but the Lord had other plans for her. Yes, she was saved and loved the Lord, and for that she’s in a much better place. As I write this letter my wife and two daughters are currently in N.C. Our family was told to come home thinking that she was in the last days of her life. My home church graciously provided last minute airfare which was very costly. My son and I recently returned to Idaho to carry on the duties here at New Life Baptist Church. Our family took it upon ourselves to purchase the airfare home. Our NEED is for my wife and daughters to get back to Idaho which will cost more airfare that we cannot afford. Please pray with us that if it is possible for your church to help a little extra this month toward our support that the tickets can be purchased. All together $2000.00 is what we will need for these flights.

Great News: Upon returning from N.C. Two precious souls were saved!! The Lord knew exactly what we needed to encourage us. A man we had visited came to our house seeking prayer and got saved. He is 78 yr.s old. He has already brought someone to church and is faithful. Plus a young lady that had been visiting gave her life to the Lord! We currently need to baptize 5 people.

New Life Baptist Church was started on March 26, 2006. We will be having a 1 yr celebration coming up soon. Many people have been reached since we started the church. Our church runs about 15-20 people with potential of 35 in our basement. We NEED a building badly. Land is so expensive! We have our eyes on a piece of land. Please help us pray we can purchase it. We had about started to rent a storefront building when the door was shut. We still praise the Lord for the wonderful people that come to our church and power that the Lord exhibits here. As of March 13th, 13 precious souls have made professions of faith!! We pray for this year to be even greater!!

Sincerely,
