Psalm 100:4 tells us to "Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; praise his name!" What a wonderful way to "enter" a New Year...
It’s been a little while since we last wrote to you. Please don’t mistake our lack of correspondence (the last letter was in September) for a sense of complacency or taking our support team for granted. That is not the case at all. Things have just been crazy here, as y’all know, with this whole Covid-19 issue. Our plan is to get back to regular letters every month starting in January!! So, please accept this letter as a “Quarterly Report” on your investment in the Kingdom of God out here in our Mountains. We are so grateful for your partnership and friendship and I believe you will be blessed by the “dividends” your investments are producing!! So, in that vein, let me highlight each of the last three months!!...
The month of November has reminded us that we have so much to be thankful for. God's blessings abound, and his work advances....
Lynette and Simeon have been healthy throughout the pregnancy. Our friends, Matt and Michelle got married! God has opened up an opportunity (because of COVID) to reach all incoming freshmen! (Over 1,200 students) I (Daniel) have been able to preach at Gospel Life and Mountain City Church!...
This past Saturday, our church gathered at the new church building to have a prayer meeting. Although we don't yet own the building (we're hoping to close on the property in a few weeks), we wanted to make sure we are proceeding in a prayerful manner from the very beginning of this significant undertaking. In fact, we as a church have designated the entire month of November as a month of prayer and fasting. ...
You may remember that last month I shared with you the exciting news that our offer of $300K to purchase a church building had been accepted. I then requested prayer that the process of purchasing and renovating the building would go smoothly and that God would provide all that we needed both financially and with extra hands to help us. ...
Leslie and I hope that this update to all of our support team finds you healthy, strong, and hopefully transitioning back to as normal of a life as possible - hasn’t 2020 been a crazy year?? As always, we want to thank you for your continued prayers, financial support, encouragement, and friendship - it would be absolutely impossible to do what we do here in these mountains without EACH of you!!...
It’s so hard to believe that we are now wrapping up August and heading into September!! What a year 2020 has been. We are so grateful for each of you who pray for, encourage, give, and support our ministry here in these wonderful mountains!! Without your generous hearts and God’s provisions through those hearts, we would not be able to do what we do. THANK YOU!!! ...
I am Brian and I'm a 20Schemes intern based in Maryhill. I have recently moved into the Wyndford area, which is hugely beneficial for forming relationships to point people to Christ. This part of Maryhill was originally built for and used as an army barracks from 1872 up until the 1960s.The majority of the people living in Maryhill don't know Jesus. So, I look to share Jes...
